What is Cyber Security
Cyber security is the prevention of damage to, the protection of, and the restoration of computers, electronic communications systems, electronic communication services, wire communication, and electronic communication, including information contained therein, to ensure its availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation. Cyber security may include technology, policies and training to achieve its goal of protecting and assuring information quality.
Who Affects Cyber Security Policy
Cyber security is a non-partisan issue. Work to strengthen cyber security began in the Clinton administration. The Bush administration continued and boosted this work. The bipartisan work to help the government and private sector improve security has created innovations such as an initiative to secure personal healthcare information sent over the Internet. Continued bipartisan efforts to forge stronger cyber security will help protect identities and personal information of U.S. citizens, protect people, businesses and the economy from financial losses, and guarantee the continuous operation of critical services vital to the operation of our information-based society.
