Michael Colonell , executive vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton’s national security business and a former director of national security and national intelligence, informed that if US ever try to battle out in cyberwar it will loose. He has claimed this after repeated attacks of computer-based networks, which in turn are affecting the US business of revenue badly.
He also added, “We’re the most vulnerable. We’re the most connected. We have the most to lose”.
The US is bounded as it can’t lessen the risk from cyber attack until it gets the Government active participation, quoted by McConnell, during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Tuesday
The subject of the hearing was the Cyber Security Act of 2009, which would regulate organisations and companies that provide critical infrastructure for the US, require licensing and certification for cyber security professionals, and provide funding for grant and scholarship programmes.
Chief economist at the non profit US Cyber Consequences Unit,Scott Bogg reported that cyber-attackers are stealing business information.
Experts also maintain that the risk being considered is much more than what it seems. Cyber-attackers are already destroying the nation’s economy
