Summary:
- The government and military don’t have good enough protection when using their computers and keeping from hackers getting into their system.
- They believe the threats to information systems are evolving and growing.
- They believe that it is because of their information systems and the way they share their information between groups.
- They can never get ahead and don’t have a big enough department to deal with the ever changing technological advances that the hackers are involved in.
Effects on business:
This article is a very important article to U.S society. Since there is a lot of important documentation in the government and military systems it is imperative that it be kept secure. It is somewhat surprising that they don’t have extreme measures to help keep all this documentation safe. They claim that their department is too small to keep up with the everyday changes to the hacker’s ability to get into the systems. This would affect business greatly, even internationally. If there is a hacker in another country that can get into the systems and military files it means that they can find out way too much about the country. They will find out information about the president, military practices, and other private information that can give them a huge advantage over the U.S. Take the example of a hacker in a foreign country getting into the systems and reading files. They can find out who the country trades with, how much we pay for certain imports, what our budgets our and our profits. With that information they can get huge advantages on other countries by lowering their trading prices lower than the U.S, by stopping trading with countries that they believe are charging too much. Doing this would not only be an effect on U.S business but international, which is HUGE. That being said, the government and military obviously need to come up with a better team that can ensure documentation stays safe.
