A little more detail on the President's proposal, from an AP story this morning: "He wants Congress to approve $1.46 billion to improve computer security and protect the nation's critical infrastructure, such as power-generation plants, telecommunications, banking, transportation and emergency services. . . . "The president's initiative would establish a network of 'intrusion detection monitors' that would alert and defend other computer networks in case one was stricken by a cyberattack, the official said. The monitors would help prevent certain federal agencies, such as the State Department, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, from being crippled by such an attack."
