A New Kind of Security

by James Hoffman

President Obama announced today (Friday), in front of a group of government and White House officials, that he will soon pick our nation's first leader of the office of cyber security. He described the development of this new oraganization as a "transformational moment." Obama senses this is important because our nation has for too long had insufficient protection and security in the the realm of computer networking. It is time too step up in our cyber security is overdue. Our newtwork connected world offers just as many threats as possibilities, and Obama expressed this by saying, "Cyberspace is real, and so is the risk that comes with it."
