National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace [Draft]
"President Bush directed the development of a National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace to ensure that America has a clear road map to protect a part of its infrastructure so essential to our way of life. On the pages that follow is a draft of that road map, developed in close collaboration with key sectors of the economy that rely on cyberspace, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and concerned organizations. These public-private partnerships that formed in response to the Presidents call have developed their own strategies to protect the parts of cyberspace on which they rely. They are made available online today. Other groups, representing other sectors, have recently formed, and have begun the process of developing strategies. Town hall meetings were held around the country, and fifty three clusters of key questions were published to spark public debate. Even more input is needed. This unique partnership and process is necessary because the majority of the country's cyber resources are controlled by entities outside of government. For the Strategy to work, it must be a plan in which a broad cross-section of the country is both invested and committed."

21 Steps to Improve Cyber Security of SCADA [Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition] Networks
"Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks contain computers and applications that perform key functions in providing essential services and commodities (e.g., electricity, natural gas, gasoline, water, waste treatment, transportation) to all Americans. As such, they are part of the nation's critical infrastructure and require protection from a variety of threats that exist in cyber space today. By allowing the collection and analysis of data and control of equipment such as pumps and valves from remote locations, SCADA networks provide great efficiency and are widely used. However, they also present a security risk. SCADA networks were initially designed to maximize functionality, with little attention paid to security. As a result, performance, reliability, flexibility and safety of distributed control/SCADA systems are robust, while the security of these systems is often weak. This makes some SCADA networks potentially vulnerable to disruption of service, process redirection, or manipulation of operational data that could result in public safety concerns and/or serious disruptions to the nation's critical infrastructure. Action is required by all organizations, government or commercial, to secure their SCADA networks as part of the effort to adequately protect the nation's critical infrastructure."
