A recent report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies urged the incoming administration to take a leading role in protecting both the public and private sectors on the web. The report was compiled by a group of more that sixty experts coming from various positions within in the security industry.
What are some of the recommendations?
No more passwords -- the future of effective security will depend on
what is known as "strong authentication" (this can range from
serial device identification to physical confirmation). Further recommendations
include the creation of a semi-centralized cyber security agency, a
drastic restriction of general access, and closer cooperation between
the government and business. More than anything else the report emphasized
the need for a less market based approach -- protecting the enterprise
should be part of an overall approach to national cyber security. Interested
in how the new administration's approach could effect your business's
security plan, download the full report.
