Synopsis
The Center for Strategic and International Studies began this project in August 2007, after the United States suffered a wave of damaging attacks in cyberspace. Guided by our congressional cochairs, we assembled a group of individuals with experience in both government and cybersecurity. The aim of the group was to identify recommendations that are critical to the nation's future cyber objectives. The Commission's three major findings are:
(1) cybersecurity is now a major national security problem for the United States,
(2) decisions and actions must respect privacy and civil liberties,
(3) only a comprehensive national security strategy that embraces both the domestic and international aspects of cybersecurity will make us more secure.
