US Cybersecurity Plan Revealed

October 2002

The White House is urging consumers and companies to tighten up their computer security.

A draft version of a widely anticipated cybersecurity plan released by the Bush administration on 18 September will reveal how the US Government intends to improve net security problems.

Early versions of the report stepped back from imposing regulations on net users and instead made a series of recommendations that it hoped all businesses and individuals would follow.

The report also made recommendations on sharing information about growing cybersecurity threats, ways of protecting critical web infrastructure and for corralling part of the net for emergency services during emergencies.

The draft also calls on security researchers and companies to do a better job of circulating information about vulnerabilities and ways to close them.

There is also talk of creating a central clearing house that will warn of widespread attacks and co-ordinate action against them.
