From the Publisher:The United States increasingly relies on information networks for the conduct of vital business. These networks are potentially subject to major disruptions from a variety of external sources. To date, there has been no clear statement of the magnitude of this threat or the ability of the various networks to withstand or respond to such disruptions. This project examines the national communications and information infrastructure. The research was conducted for the Office of Science and Technology Policy with task funding from the National Science Foundation. This report discusses the vulnerability of the national information infrastructure to external attacks and other kinds of disruptions. It assesses the extent of the data available for measuring this threat and discusses steps that private industry and the federal government can take to reduce national vulnerability. The Critical Technologies Institute was created in 1991 by an act of Congress. It is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the National Science Foundation and managed by RAND, a nonprofit corporation created for the purpose of improving public policy.
