PRESIDENT'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RELEASES NEW REPORT:
CYBER SECURITY: A CRISIS OF PRIORITIZATION

Vital to the Nation's security and everyday life, the information
technology (IT) infrastructure of the United States is highly vulnerable
to disruptive domestic and international attacks, the President's
Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) argues in a new
report.  While existing technologies can address some IT security
vulnerabilities, fundamentally new approaches are needed to address the
more serious structural weaknesses of the IT infrastructure.

In Cyber Security: A Crisis of Prioritization, PITAC presents four key
findings and recommendations on how the Federal government can foster
new architectures and technologies to secure the Nation's IT
infrastructure.  PITAC urges the Government to significantly increase
support for fundamental research in civilian cyber security in 10
priority areas; intensify Federal efforts to promote the recruitment and
retention of cyber security researchers and students at research
universities; increase support for the rapid transfer of Federally
developed cyber security technologies to the private sector; and
strengthen the coordination of Federal cyber security R&D activities.
