Cyber-terror is more real 
By Dan Feldstein; Security News Portal, 10/8/2001

The federal government, concerned for several years about domestic
terrorism, has divided "critical infrastructure" into eight categories:
telecommunications, banking and finance, water supply systems,
transportation, emergency services, government operations, electrical
power and gas/oil storage and delivery. 

All are increasingly dependent on properly operating computers, which
seems to be the main focus so far of InfraGard.  Physical security of
buildings also would be an area to cover, said Iris Patton, InfraGard
Houston's vice president and a top Shell information security official. 
But so far the topics have been mostly cyber-related.  The group has
been meeting monthly since March and wants more members.  It will be
holding a special conference Oct.  24-25 at Rice University.  The topic
will be network and Internet threats, including "e-info warfare,"
computer forensics and economic espionage.  Patton said that in the
past, top executives of many companies didn't take "cyber-terror"
threats seriously - but no more.  The group's web site, with contact
information, is www.infragardhouston.org
