1 Cyber Security Initiatives at the Federal Level & Technology Opportunities Slide 1

2 Assessing The Threat According to a hearing before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission: o Internet firewalls reported an average of 128 acts of "cyber aggression" a minute from China in March o Equates to 7,680 aggressive cyber acts an hour or 184,320 a day against non-defense organizations August 2008 an attack on Republic of Georgia was model for Cyber Warfare (GaTech) o Cyber attack targeted (media outlets and local government communication systems) o Governmental and commercial internet was essentially turned off Seized al-qaeda computers show details of US Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems (Forbes) July 2009 a series of coordinated cyber attacks against 27 major government, news media, and financial websites in South Korea and the United States (NY Times) GDAIS Proprietary Slide 2

4 What is Cyber Security? Cyber Security is protecting electronic information, systems and services by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks. Cyber Security has become one of the country s most urgent national security priorities. The threat of cyber attacks is serious enough the government is designating a cyber czar to help create the nation's cyber policy The U.S. military created a unified Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) designed to protect the military's cyber infrastructure from foreign-based attacks.

7 Cyber Market Assessment - Drivers Significant investment ($ billions) in government and commercial markets to contend with the threat. A recent report by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch forecast that the cybersecurity market would total $14.6 billion in fiscal 2009, including classified and unclassified spending, and rise to $25.5 billion by fiscal Current technology is not sophisticated enough to mitigate threat to acceptable levels of risk. New domain of military operations. Immature policy and legal framework to empower the good guys and deter the bad guys. Significant effort will be required to balance security activities and privacy. Limited number of cyber experts to meet customer needs. GDAIS Proprietary Slide 7
