CyberSecurity and Espionage: Stoll, The Cuckoo's Egg

Hopefully the counter espionage will not be left up to private users to solve. There needs to be a collaborative effort to stop computer espionage. The proper amount of authority needs to be given so the police of information can do there job. This authority probably still is not in place.

A system of checks and balances needs to be in place as well to safe guard privacy. Information taken by a government agency or taken by a ‘hacker’ is still information taken. Private information should be kept private to maintain the internal trust in the information systems.

On a local level security awareness needs to be increased and maintained. No matter how much overhead is in place if everyone is wide open it will be impossible to stop intruders from coming in.
