PROTECTING AMERICA FROM CYBER ATTACK

WHAT:	Hearing titled, "Cyber Security-How Can We Protect American Computer
Networks from Attack?"

WHEN:	Wednesday, October 10, 2001 - 10:00 A.M.

WHERE:	2318 Rayburn Building, Washington (WEBCAST)

WASHINGTON, DC - The House Committee on Science will hold a hearing
tomorrow to examine the vulnerability of our nation's computer
infrastructure to attacks.  The Committee will also discuss changes
needed in federal R&amp;D programs to improve security. 

Experts have said that America's computer systems are vulnerable.  One
reason for that, they say, is that computer security research,
particularly on security for civilian systems, is inadequately funded in
academia, government and industry.  The computer science resources that
attract the best computer scientists and engineers are simply elsewhere. 

Testifying before the committee will be witnesses representing industry,
academic, government and non-profit organizations.  Witnesses will
comment on gaps in research and education in the computer security
field.  Since most of the information infrastructure in the United
States is owned and controlled by the private sector, witnesses will
also comment on ways to encourage collaborative approaches to shoring up
our ability to predict, prevent, and mitigate attacks. 

Witnesses will include:

William A. Wulf, President, National Academy of Engineering and vice chair
of the National Research Council, the principal operating arm of the
National Academies of Sciences and Engineering. 
Dr. Eugene Spafford, Professor of Computer Sciences, Professor of
Philosophy, and Director of the Center for Education and Research in
Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) at 
Purdue University.
Ms. Terry A. Benzel, Vice President of Advanced Security Research for
Network Associates, Inc.
Robert Weaver, Assistant Special-Agent-in-Charge, US Secret Service Special
Agent, Head, New York Electronic Crimes Task Force.
