Gov 2.0 Summit: NSA Chief Outlines Cybersecurity Plans By Elizabeth Montalbano, InformationWeek
Teamwork, global leadership and respect for privacy are necessary as feds work to secure critical infrastructure, the National Security Agency's Gen. Keith Alexander said.
Addressing challenges to the federal government's cybersecurity efforts, the head of the National Security Agency (NSA) said that teamwork, global leadership, and a respect for citizens' privacy are necessary to secure U.S. critical infrastructure against cyber attacks.
There are 250,000 probes trying to find their way into Department of Defense (DoD) networks every hour, and cyber attacks on federal agencies have increased 150% since 2008, Gen. Keith Alexander, NSA director and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, said Tuesday at the Gov 2.0 Summit at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, produced by O'Reilly Media and UBM TechWeb.
