Book excerpt: "In summary, all of us need to recognize that the cyber revolution brings us into a new age as surely as the industrial revolution did two centuries ago. Now, as then, our continued security requires a reordering of national priorities and new understanding about our respective roles in support of the national goals. The relationships that have stood us in such good stead through the end of the second millennium must give way to new ones better suited to the third."--Page xi.

Book excerpt: There is no doubt that our critical infrastructures are the best in the world-largely the result of the tremendous efficiency and global reach made possible by incorporation of our rapidly advancing information and communication technology. In fact, we found all our infrastructures increasingly dependent on information and communications systems that criss-cross the nation and span the globe. That dependence is the source of rising vulnerabilities and, therefore, it is where we concentrated our effort. We found no evidence of an impending cyber attack which could have a debilitating effect on the nation's critical infrastructures. While we see no electronic disaster around the corner, this is no basis for complacency. We did find widespread capability to exploit infrastructure vulnerabilities. The capability to do harm-particularly through information networks - is real; it is growing at an alarming rate; and we have little defense against it. Because the infrastructures are mainly privately owned and operated, we concluded that critical infrastructure assurance is a shared responsibility of the public and private sectors. The only sure path to protected infrastructures in the years ahead is through a real partnership between infrastructure owners and operators and the government. Consequently, in addition to our recommendations about improving our government's focus on infrastructure assurance in the Information Age, you will find some recommendations for collaborative public and private organizational arrangements that challenge our conventional way of thinking about government and private sector interaction.

Book excerpt: The President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, Critical Foundations, was a report of a multi-agency effort to "study the critical infrastructures that constitute the life support systems of (the United States), determine their vulnerabilities, and propose a strategy for protecting them in the future".2 Spurred by this report, the President signed Presidential Decision Directive 63 which built upon the PCCIP's recommendations. In signing PDD-63, the President's intent was for the United States to "take all necessary measures to swiftly eliminate any significant vulnerability to both physical and cyber attacks on our critical infrastructures, including especially our cyber systems".3 One of the goals of PDD-63 was to create a national center to warn of significant infrastructure attacks, to include the detection and analysis of such attacks, with maximum participation from the private sector. This task fell to the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) to provide threat assessment, warning, vulnerability assessment, and law enforcement investigation and response.4 Now, nearly two years hence, these encompassing tasks are largely going undone while the NIPC focuses nearly all its resources on law enforcement investigation and response, with only minor Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) coordination. It is the purpose of this paper to show that national cyber threat warning measuresare important for protecting critical infrastructures. Further, this paper asserts that tactical and strategic cyber threat warning is inadequate and needs to be reassessed vis- -vis the role of the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Justice Department.
