How to Survive a Cyber Attack and Cyber Disaster on the Internet

The Threat of Cyber Attack and Cyber Disaster
During the cold war, we knew who the bad guys were, and they had nuclear weapons. There was a finite group, and there was a deterrent, because they knew that if they attacked us, we would know that they attacked us and we would attack them back. That's a significant deterrent. But now, anybody who goes down to Best Buy or Radio Shack can buy a computer for two or three hundred dollars, and they have Internet connectivity. And these individuals can . . . have a weapon of mass destruction sitting on their desk in their bedroom.
Overview of the National Security Threat

The threats of cyber attack and cyber disaster are real and escalating. Network infrastructure and information, data, and communication systems are all at heightened cyber risk of cyber attack and cyber disaster. Intrusion, spyware, malware, viruses, worms, et al. are some of the weapons in this overt and covert cyber warfare. Cyber risk assessment, cyber risk mitigation, and cyber security protocols and practices must be a national priority.

Internet security, .equally, for you the individual, is essential. Cyber security must be an individual, personal priority.

Are you personally prepared to survive a Cyber Armageddon? Do you have an individual, personal Internet Disaster Recovery Plan?
