Shattered Lives and the Cyber Age?. ? Donna R. Gore

President Obama has declared that the ?cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation? and that ?America?s economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cyber security.?

Cyberspace touches nearly every part of our daily lives.? It?s the broadband networks beneath us and the wireless signals around us, the local networks in our schools and hospitals and businesses, and the massive grids that power our nation.? It?s the classified military and intelligence networks that keep us safe, and the World Wide Web that has made us more interconnected than at any time in human history.? We must secure our cyberspace to ensure that we can continue to grow the nation?s economy and protect our way of life. http://www.whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity
