U.S. government creates cybersecurity

In early March, the blog of the White House came a curious record. National Security Council declassified U.S. 12 initiatives to protect the country and government against cyber crime and hackers. This is done with a very simple purpose – to U.S. authorities expect to find partners to carry out a broad kiberoboronnoy program. At this probably would leave hundreds of billions of dollars.

In early 2010 Barack Obama issued a memorandum on the open and transparent government.He touched all federal departments and agencies. Judging from the press-service have been revised vultures of all documents belonging to the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, developed in 2008.

In some ways it is the defensive part of the Cyber Section of U.S. military doctrine. Naturally, the full text of the relevant provisions of the no. Nevertheless, a brief summary gives an idea of what to prepare and they fear American power, when it comes to the Internet. Especially interesting to track the order in which the initiatives.

So the first thing the United States intends to establish a center that controls a single federal network of interconnected web channels, which obviously can be trusted.

In this federal network will introduce a system of early warning of intruders. We are talking about very serious things – watching and analyzing the traffic passing through the government network, as well as preventing administrators, if something goes wrong.

This system will be implemented EINSTEIN 2, the new version created in 2004, EINSTEIN. The deployment of this system for all departments are actively conducted since 2008. Before connecting EINSTEIN depended on the willingness of service managers and agents.

At the same time will be developed EINSTEIN 3, which will cover the entire federal network and will look out for with redoubled diligence packages. By developing EINSTEIN 3 attract commercial partners, with their more well developed IT-techniques.

The next step for the construction of large government firewall will just reallocate resources to research and design work. The White House acknowledged that now nobody in the administration did not have information about all development projects. In other words, money is often spent on the same or mismanaged.

On the creation of a single federal network of the United States authorities did not stop. There are already six points a rapid response to cybercrime. They finally connect with each other, which will see the whole picture and to better analyze a malicious attack on computer systems.

In addition, create kiberkontrrazvedku, which extend its influence on all U.S. government bodies.The initiative focuses on how to repel kiberrazvedchikam foreign states, not terrorists. However, about terrorists, among others, remember the next initiative. It calls for increased security to classified networks. One has to think about thinking, after some hackers have caught on the way to the bowels of the Pentagon’s servers.

All this short-term plans. The real long-term hit to the bottom, which indicates a desire as quickly as possible to solve all their problems. After the government obnesut kind kiberzaborom, start a serious program to train officials of information technology.

Believed that such a strategic literacy classes need a government program such as scientific, as adopted in the fifties the past century. In the fields it is worth noting that this was when the volume of research and development dollars in two to three times higher than those of all countries of the world combined.

Together with the program IT-literacy classes will be run strategies, initiatives and programs for “breakthrough” development. In the next ten years thanks to these plans, U.S. cybersecurity should be orders of magnitude higher than the present.

All the security mechanism in addition to “wrapped” in the risk management system. Thus it will be possible to predict the possible consequences and losses from hacking systems, change or loss of data and so on. Our partners with the U.S. authorities, knowing well that such a critical part of the infrastructure, the latter promises to be chosen very carefully.

Many people perceive Obama and his Authority as frivolous populists came to power in the wake of the crisis. Only a few sheets of dry text forever destroy this impression. This comprehensive, thoughtful plan to create an impregnable government kiberkreposti. No such power has not yet built and is unlikely to build.

The impression would be stronger in one case. If the White House declassified the plans for
