NSA chief: "Internet is fragile"
The United States' increasing reliance on the Internet makes securing our networks from online threats more crucial than ever, according to National Security Agency director and U.S. Cyber Command commander Keith Alexander.
Speaking at the Gov 2.0 Summit on Tuesday in Washington, Alexander warned against the growing threat from hackers and enemy states seeking to penetrate American networks, which are more vital to the nation's security and economy than ever before.
"The Internet is fragile. Our economic and national security, privacy and civil liberties are fully dependent on the Internet," Alexander said. "It is critical we improve our security posture. The threats are real. Malicious actors a continent away can exploit our networks. They're becoming better organized and sophisticated at exploiting weaknesses in our technologies."
