US looks into cybersecurity issues

The Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency has issued a report entitled ‘Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency’. This discusses the commission’s three major findings, which are:

1. Cybersecurity is now one of the major national security problems facing the United States;

2. Decisions and actions must respect American values related to privacy and civil liberties; and

3. Only a comprehensive national security strategy that embraces both the domestic and international aspects of cybersecurity will improve the situation.

Additionally, the issues of cybersecurity were discussed at the Cyber Strategic Inquiry 2008. This included remarks by DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, which can be read here.
