"The nation's health, wealth, and security rely on ... critical infrastructures. ... [T]his reliance on computers and computer networks raises the vulnerability of the nation's critical infrastructures to cyber attacks. ..."

This 33 page report from the Congressional Research Service explains what the US gov't is doing in regard to infrastructure protection. It mentions HR 3394 which I blogged last week. In short, we are falling behind on the schedule laid out by Clinton & co. in PDD-63, both in terms of protection/prevention and in response capability. It also looks as though the feds may become involved in restoring commercial services after failures. Could this cause service providers to skimp on security and rely on the Feds to handle it?
