While ensuring the security of physical structures and events such as ball games is crucial to a comprehensive national security plan, we must not forget about cyber security and as terrorist threats from various groups and even nations continue, it is time the government comes together with private industry and academia to come up with a plan that helps protect not only the US but other nations.
The military, air travel systems, power plants and virtually everything else relies on computers and ensuring we reduce the likelihood of attacks on these and other resources is crucial.
