REPORT ON CYBER-TERRORISM
A new report on national security, titled "CyberCrime, CyberTerrorism and CyberWarfare," calls for a complete overhaul of U.S. national security agencies and policies in order to avoid crippling sabotage of the nation's and corporate America's information infrastructure. The report, which is the product of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Global Organized Crime project headed up by former FBI and CIA director William Webster, chronicles the results of a recent joint chief of staff exercise code-named "Eligible Receiver." The exercise involved a group of security experts, known as a "red team," that used software widely available from cracker Web sites to demonstrate the capability to penetrate and disable major portions of the U.S. electric power grid and deny computer systems to the entire Pacific military command and control operation. The report recommends the establishment of private sector-organized groups that would evaluate and endorse information security standards in various industries, coupled with increased government support for such efforts and the development of a national security policy for the Information Revolution. "The private sector cannot sit back and wait for government to lead," says Sen. Charles Robb (D-Va.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
