The water treatment centers, power stations, military communications buildings, and financial institutions of America are all vulnerable to attack. The main threat isn’t necessarily from bombs; computer hacking is the major threat. What can protect our institutions and infrastructure from a digital attack? This CNBC documentary goes to the front lines of the war on cyberterrorism and cybercrime.
The agencies, tools, and personal that the federal government has in place to secure the nation’s digital network are covered. The program details some of the most important issues that these organizations have to address, such as the fact that components of computers are sometimes made in countries that are potentially hostile to the United States. Large scale computer attacks are not just possible, they have actually occurred in countries like Estonia and Iran, and could happen in the United States if the proper precautions are not taken. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (52 minutes)
Segments in this video include:
Introduction – A video montage of different people discussing the potential threat of cyberterrorism including stealing of America’s military secrets.
