Abstract of Technology Assessment: Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure
Protection GAO-04-321 May
28, 2004
"Computers are crucial to the operations of government and business.
Computers and networks essentially run the critical infrastructures that
are vital to our national defense, economic security, and public health
and safety. Unfortunately, many computer systems and networks were not
designed with security in mind. As a result, the core of our critical
infrastructure is riddled with vulnerabilities that could enable an
attacker to disrupt operations or cause damage to these infrastructures.
Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) involves activities that
enhance the security of our nation's cyber and physical infrastructure.
Defending against attacks on our information technology infrastructure--
cybersecurity--is a major concern of both the government and the private
sector. Consistent with guidance provided by the Senate's Fiscal Year
2003 Legislative Branch Appropriations Report (S. Rpt. 107-209), GAO
conducted this technology assessment on the use of Security
technologies for CIP in response to a request from congressional
committees. This assessment addresses the following questions: (1) What
are the key Security requirements in each of the CIP sectors? (2)
What Security technologies can be applied to CIP? (3) What are the
implementation issues associated with using Security technologies
for CIP, including policy issues such as privacy and information
sharing?
