Pervasive and sustained cyber attacks continue to pose a potentially devastating threat to the systems and operations of the fed. government. In recent months, fed. officials have cited the continued efforts of foreign nations and criminals to target government and private sector networks; terrorist groups have expressed a desire to use cyber attacks to target the U.S.; and press accounts have reported attacks on the Web sites of government agencies. This statement describes: (1) cyber threats to fed. information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures; (2) control deficiencies at fed. agencies that make these systems and infrastructures vulnerable to cyber threats; and (3) opportunities that exist for improving fed. cybersecurity.
