Is the United States Losing the Cyberspace Security Battle?

From Dr. Steven Brown | December 10th, 2008

A report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS),“Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency”, suggests that cyber-security is now a major security problem and a national approach is needed – but at the same time needs to balance security and civil liberties.

While a government-private partnership is needed, much of cyber-security associated with the military is naturally classified, and cyber-security associated with private enterprise is still not fully developed and ad hoc in many cases. So, can the United States, as a nation, develop a comprehensive national cyber-security plan? Can these two seemingly mutually-exclusive concepts develop a single comprehensive plan?

An interesting read, and please feel free to comment. We would love to hear your thoughts.
