USA: Drei Millarden Dollar gegen Hacker-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- zusätzlich ausgeben, um die Infrastruktur der USA gegen Angriffe aller Art zu schützen, wobei zwischen chemischen, biologischen und elektronischen Mitteln nicht mehr unterschieden wird.

He also wants money to help the National Domestic Preparedness Office develop rapid-response programs for 120 U.S. cities and metropolitan areas, and he wants to hire scores of information technology experts to design new ways to protect the computer systems of government agencies from vandals and hackers. Companies such as Network Associates Inc., based in Santa Clara, California and Rockville, Maryland-based Axent Technologies Inc. which specialize in computer security software, could benefit from new government business. ``This could only be a win for us,'' said Marvin Dickerson, senior product marketing manager at Network Associates, a company that's been working on federal government computer security projects for the last 15 years. ... Network Associates in December helped MCI WorldCom Inc. fight a computer virus attack. Axent earlier this month bought closely held Internet Tools Inc., a maker of software that can prevent Internet break-ins, for $25.3 million; ... President Clinton mentioned his plans to meet the challenges of terrorist threats in the 21st Century during Tuesday's State of the Union speech. ``We must work to keep terrorists from disrupting computer networks,'' he said to a joint session of Congress and a national television audience. ``We must work to prepare local communities for biological and chemical emergencies, to support research into vaccines and treatments.'' ... Clinton administration officials haven't said how they plan to pay for the new defense spending. About $2.5 billion of the cost could be covered by closing U.S. military bases considered obsolete, said Robert Bell, a member of the National Security Council. full text http://www.news.com/Investor/NewsItem/0,213,0~3~2~Computer%20Data%20Security~AXNT~BLO~357913402~~~~~,00.html relayed by darek milewski darekm@cmeasures.com via mea culpa jericho@dimensional.com -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1999-01-24 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
