In today’s world, both government  and the private sector are struggling to provide a secure, efficient,  timely, and separate means of delivering essential services  internationally. As a result, these critical national infrastructure  systems remain at risk from potential attacks via the Internet.

It is the policy of the United States to prevent or minimize  disruptions to the critical national information infrastructure in order  to protect the public, the economy, government services, and the  national security of the United States.The Federal Government is  continually increasing capabilities to address cyber risk associated  with critical networks and information systems.

Please explain how you would reduce potential vulnerabilities,  protect against intrusion attempts, and better anticipate future  threats.

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, please  explain how you would reduce potential vulnerabilities, protect against  intrusion attempts, and better anticipate future threats.

2) Select  AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on  those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with  the thread.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
