National Information Infrastructure

Issues and Causes • Among the causes are obvious reasons such the poor implementation of information technology in health care sector. This an issue because it caused delayed treatment, duplication of tests, and preventable errors. • The HITECH Act was enacted as a stimulus project to strengthen national health IT infrastructure in 2009. • The Office of the National Health Information Technology (ONC) had allocated $250 million to the Beacon Community Program to implement IT in 17 diverse communities

member states and as such the EMU imposed restriction on infrastructure investment through strict borrowing limits. As a member state Britain had to comply with the four criteria despite the pressure it placed on its public borrowing and financing of infrastructure. To meet its social responsibility the United Kingdom government started the private finance initiative. 1992 - Private finance initiative is the resultant means of financing infrastructure following the Maastricht agreement to reduce public

Commonwealth Approaches to Developing National Cybersecurity Strategies Steven Falzone University of Maryland University College CSIA 360 Introduction Why is it important that every nation has a cyber security strategies? The past decade multiple company national or international have faced cyber security threats. Either sensitive government information or individual’s information has been compromised. Cyber security issues have developed into a significant national level where now it requires government

States “cyberspace” platform has provided a means of accessing our most secretive, sensitive, including, military tactical operations data. Successful attacks upon the US networking infrastructure would obviously impede governmental operation, more importantly; accessing a wealth of potentially destructive information would have profound implications, thus, Cybersecurity policies must be implemented. Cybersecurity policies create levels and barriers of networking security as their standards, guidelines

against a target there are multiple other attacks that where caught before the terrorists could strike. Before the attack could happen law enforcement and other personnel stopped them because of information that was received or discovered regarding the pending terrorist attack. Where does this information all come from? September 11th changed the world and the United States in regards to how safe and well protected the world really is against a determined enemy that has an unpredictable mind. The

Due to the increasing threat of a cyber-attack on our nations critical infrastructure, in February of 2013, the President signed Executive Order 13636 (EO). This EO directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in collaboration with the Secretary of Defense, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to expand a pilot program to all 16 designated critical infrastructure sectors. This program is now known as the Enhanced Cybersecurity Services (ECS) program. DHS was given

This research project will answer how cyberterrorism will affect our critical infrastructures along with ways of mitigating this event from occurring as well as our government efforts to educate the private and public sectors by qualitative research. Since the war on terrorism came into effect after 9/11 our nation has implemented various protection measures ranging from PPD’s, EO’s, and the creation of cyber security programs for our nation’s protection. We are facing a new threat from the cyber

Knowing that cyberspace is composed of hundreds and thousands of interconnected computers, servers, routers, switches, and fiber optic cables and is the nervous system of critical infrastructures such as transportation, energy, telecommunication, public health, banking and finance. Any attempt to damage or do any kind of attacks to the cyberspace it can even threat the whole nation itself. It can create a major damage whereas the finance
