Panel probes critical infrastrucure protection 
By David McGuire, Newsbytes, 11/15/2001
<a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/news/283">http://www.securityfocus.com/news/283>

A congressional panel has called a clutch of high-tech industry leaders
to testify this week about the precautions the private sector is taking
to secure their software and networks.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee's Commerce, Trade and Consumer
Protection Subcommittee will hear from security officials at Microsoft
Corp., Oracle Corp., EDS and a handful of other major industry players
when it convenes a hearing on cybersecurity Thursday.

Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., wants to "examine the
efforts of private industry to address these security issues," a
committee aide said today.

The aide, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the industry leaders
could face questions about their security precautions in the wake of the
Sept. 11 attacks and what role government should play in supporting
private sector cybersecurity efforts.

Although government cybersecurity officials have been some of the most
visible players in the electronic security debate, security experts have
long argued that the private sector will have to take a lead role in
safeguarding the nation's critical electronic infrastructure.

Deigned a likely target for any physical or cyber attack, the nation's
"critical infrastructure," includes everything from roads and bridges to
telecommunications networks and power grids.

Security experts point out that the vast majority of that infrastructure
-- both physical and electronic -- is privately controlled and operated.

The committee aide said that Thursday's meeting was not targeted
directly at critical infrastructure questions, but would address the
important electronic assets provided and operated by the companies that
have been called to testify.
