Creating a National Framework for Cybersecurity: An Analysis of Issues and Options

Overview Even before the terrorist attacks of September 2001, concerns had been rising among security experts about the vulnerabilities to attack of computer systems and associated infrastructure. Yet, despite increasing attention from federal and state governments and international organizations, the defense against attacks on these systems has appeared to be generally fragmented and varying widely in effectiveness. Concerns have grown that what is needed is a national cybersecurity framework - a coordinated, coherent set of public- and private-sector efforts required to ensure an acceptable level of cybersecurity for the nation.
