Information Assurance and Critical Infrastructure Protection. A Federal Perspective.

摘要

The Internet and associated electronic communications have become an indispensable tool for both business and government. This technology allows organizations to conduct electronic commerce, provide better customer service, collaborate with remote partners, reduce communications costs, improve internal communication and access needed information rapidly. However, our reliance on a networked electronic society is not risk free. Security breaches, theft of proprietary information, privacy risk, financial fraud, and sabotage of data or networks are emerging threats in our new information age.
