Cybersecurity, Innovation and the Internet Economy, Department of Commerce Internet Policy Task Force, June 2011
“The Internet allows users to gather, store, process, and transfer vast amounts of data, including proprietary and sensitive business, transactional, and personal data. At the same time that businesses and consumers rely more and more on such capabilities, cybersecurity threats continue to plague the Internet economy. Cybersecurity threats evolve as rapidly as the Internet expands, and the associated risks are becoming increasingly global. Staying protected against cybersecurity threats requires all users, even the most sophisticated ones, to be aware of the threats and improve their security practices on an ongoing basis. Creating incentives to motivate all parties in the Internet economy to make appropriate security investments requires technical and public policy measures that are carefully balanced to heighten cybersecurity without creating barriers to innovation, economic growth, and the free flow of information.”
