Cybersecurity: Steps to Protect Our Critical Infrastructure
This nation and its citizens depend enormously on communications technology in countless ways everyday.
Vast network expansions have transformed virtually every aspect of our lives: education, health care, how our businesses grow and function, and the development of an interconnected, more democratic conversation. Our government, our economy, our very lives rely on technology that connects millions of people around the world in real time, all the time.
And yet, these powerful networks also carry great risks that few people fully understand. In recent years, hackers have attacked numerous federal agencies, key media outlets, and large companies across the private sector, targeting intellectual property and stealing valuable information vital to our national and economic security.
And these attacks are coming with increasing regularity and sophistication.
A major "cyberattack" could shut down our nation's most critical infrastructure--our power grid, telecommunications, financial services--the basic foundations on which our communities and our families have built their lives and saved for their future.
This hearing is a next step in examining the important action we should be taking, right now--as a government and as a national economy--to harden our defenses and safeguard critical infrastructure against a major cyberattack.
