01/18/07 Advisory council seeks tighter cyber security net

[admin]

"An advisory council approved a report Tuesday calling for greater collaboration between the government and private sector to create a cybersecurity network impermeable to what officials called a growing terrorist threat.
The National Infrastructure Advisory Council report will be sent to the White House. It recommended the establishment of goals for critical cybersecurity by 2015 and that the Homeland Security Department collaborate with owners and operators of infrastructure to create sector-specific maps to help coordinate in the event of a disaster or attack."

Somehow this doesn't sound good at all. We don't want to become China. Cyber security implies some very nasty things about privacy we don't even imagine yet.
