75 Percent of Americans Concerned about IT Security 
Infosecnews.com, 1/11/2002

According to research compiled by the Information Technology Association
of America (ITAA) on behalf of Tumbleweed Communications, a large number
of U.S users are concerned about IT security.

In its report, entitled Keeping the Faith: Government, Information
Security and Homeland Cyber Defense, the ITAA says that almost 75
percent have expressed fears that their personal information on the
Internet could be stolen or used for malicious purposes. An equal number
said they were concerned that cyberattacks could target critical
infrastructure assets such as telephone networks or power plants.

Commenting on the research, Harris Miller, the ITAA's president, said
that the attacks of September 11 had destroyed lives and property. "They
also destroyed peace of mind for many people using the Internet. In an
era of great uncertainty, a perceived lack of Internet security is
generating high anxiety in cyberspace," he explained.

"These survey findings tell me that government, industry and computer
users must work together to slam the lid on cybercriminals, terrorists
and hackers and to restore the faith of the online community," he added.

For the report, Luntz Research conducted a random telephone survey of
800 adults in the U.S. in late November.
