Bush urges private sector to shore up networks
“The Bush administration has taken its efforts to bolster private sector support for critical infrastructure protection on the road to encourage companies to shore up their networks against hackers and cyberterrorists on their own before the government will be forced to step in with regulations.”
So, backups, redundant systems, offsite data storage, secondary infrastructure, REAL security analysis is good for the American people all of a sudden?
My god, Y2K taught us absolutely nothing but, how fun it is to make fun of I.T. people that worry about these things and ask for money to address them. Now, because of terrorism and the interest of national security, it’s a good enough idea to create legislation for?
I’m gonna cry.
