Speaking at the Information Security Solutions Europe (ISSE) show this morning where he gave the keynote speech for the three-day event, Alexander told delegates that the British government has attached a high level of priority to tracking and securing the Internet. "We have, of course, long recognized the need for practical solutions to the information security problems which face us," he said, adding that the recent tragic events in the U.S. have put a new and intense focus on how the government approaches security and the protection of both its people and assets. The e-commerce minister said that there is now a collective responsibility in the threats posed to the whole of the electronic information system, including the Internet. "In an interconnected world, there is a collective responsibility to ensure that the entire system is secure. Increasingly, society will view those business that inadvertently spread viruses or act as platforms for denial of service attacks as failing in the duty to both the business and wider communities," he said. Alexander did not comment on the British government's ongoing investigation into the role that the Internet played in terrorist attack plans in the weeks and months before Sept. 11.
