Fighting Cyber Terrorism - Where Do I Sign Up?

September 11, 2001 is a date that will be burned into the minds of all Americans. You can ask anyone, and they will be able to tell you with precise detail, where they were when the atrocities of the terrorist act happened. Almost immediately we were resolute to fight back, to fight the terrorist demon that bestowed such devastation on us. Ever since this country was in its infancy, we have had forces of armed men and women trained to fight these physical, defensive battles. Yet, why have we not paid the same attention and training to fighting those that would compromise us electronically? Cyber attacks have historically not been treated in the same fashion as physical defense of the country. In fact, many companies refuse to admit that they were infiltrated by an outside source illegally. A frightening fact is a most seemingly innocuous computer program can wreak havoc and cost millions of dollars in lost productivity.
