Bush unveils final cybersecurity plan - Robert Lemos, CNET News.com
The Bush administration signed off Friday on the final version of the United States' strategy for protecting the Internet and securing information systems. The policy statement, called the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, largely backs off from mandating that companies adopt certain measures. Instead, it calls for the government to work with private industry to create an emergency response system to cyberattacks and to reduce the nation's vulnerability to such threats. "Securing cyberspace is an extraordinarily difficult strategic challenge that requires a coordinated and focused effort from our entire society--the federal government, state and local government, the private sector and the American people," President George W. Bush wrote in a letter introducing the document.
