“SEC. 1027. REPORTS ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROGRESS IN DEVELOPING INFORMATION ASSURANCE STRATEGIES. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings: (1) The protection of our Nation's critical infrastructure is of paramount importance to the security of the United States. (2) The vulnerability of our Nation's critical sectors-- such as financial services, transportation, communications, and energy and water supply--has increased dramatically in recent years as our economy and society have become ever more dependent on interconnected computer systems. (3) Threats to our Nation's critical infrastructure will continue to grow as foreign governments, terrorist groups, and cyber-criminals increasingly focus on information warfare as a method of achieving their aims. (4) Addressing the computer-based risks to our Nation's critical infrastructure requires extensive coordination and cooperation within and between Federal agencies and the private sector.”
