From the Department of Homeland Security, Fact Sheet: Protecting America’s Critical Infrastructure – Cyber Security: “In February 2003, President George W. Bush issued the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. Recognizing the increasing danger posed by cyber threats and the devastating disruption that could result because of the interdependent nature of information systems that support our nation’s critical infrastructure, the Strategy provides a strategic framework to prevent cyber attacks against America’s critical infrastructures; reduce national vulnerability to cyber attacks; and minimize the damage and recovery time from cyber attacks should they occur.”
