U.S. IT Infrastructure Highly Vulnerable

An anonymous reader writes "The President's Information Technology Advisory Committee in their February 2005 report to GW writes "...infrastructure of the United States, which is now vital for communication, commerce, and control of our physical infrastructure, is highly vulnerable to terrorist and criminal attacks." It goes on to say that "fundamentally new approaches are needed to address the more serious structural weaknesses of the IT infrastructure" and finally offers "four key findings and recommendations on how the Federal government can foster new architectures and technologies to secure the Nation's IT infrastructure." Here is yet another, not surprising, bleak outlook for cyber security in the United States. The full 72-page report can be found here."
