6: Digital Assets
Protect vital digital assets. Other Information:
We should protect vital digital assets by updating the Federal Information Security Management Act and developing procedures
for monitoring threats to critical infrastructure. -- The digital revolution has enabled advances in productivity in many
areas. Unfortunately, the benefits to society have also introduced new risks which we are just beginning to understand. How
can we protect the systems and the process of increased agility and innovation on which we have come to depend? The government
is one of the most vulnerable segments of society, both in terms of the magnitude of the threat and the poor state of preparedness.
Federal policy for securing our digital infrastructure is hamstrung by the fact that most of the digital assets and the resources
to secure them are controlled by the private sector. This requires a careful strategy that balances a number of priorities.
We need to ensure good security practices in government and the private sector.
