The Presidential IT Advisory Committee (PITAC) has recommended the federal government greatly increase its spending on cybersecurity R&D in order to provide long-term solutions. Current practices have only dealt with short-term patches according to PITAC. PITAC claims without the increase in funding the government is vulnerable to attack.
“'The IT infrastructure is highly vulnerable to premeditated attacks with potentially catastrophic effects,' PITAC warned in a letter submitting the report, titled Cyber Security: A Crisis in Prioritization, to the president."
“These vulnerabilities put the nation’s entire critical infrastructure at risk.”
