Enhancing Internet Security: Strategies and Challenges in a Complex Landscape

In the wake of evolving terrorist threats and advanced technological employment by malicious entities, this paper discusses the critical dimensions of Internet security. With 750 million clients and a diverse range of facilities, the vulnerability of an open architecture and the complexities of user interactions surface as significant challenges. Key areas of focus include prioritizing IT security, optimizing existing tools, fostering collaboration between government, industry, and education, and navigating the balance between civil liberties and law enforcement. Strategies for training and resource allocation in security are also highlighted.

  3. Dimensions of Internet Security Problem • Network Size - 750 Million Clients & Growing • Diversity of Physical Facilities/Locales • Vulnerability of Open Architecture • Complexityof Users/Uses • Mastery of Security Technology = Zero to ? % • Management Will/Capacity to Allocate Resources ?

  4. Security Action Framework • Make IT Security higher and more visible priority • Do better job with existing security tools incl policies • Design, develop & deploy better security for future • Raise level of collaboration among Govt/Industry/Education • Train human resources for security jobs
