The Department of Defense has released its Strategy for operating in Cyberspace. Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn said during a speech at the National Defense University, DOD recently suffered one of its worst data losses ever during a cyber attack in the spring. 24,000 files were stolen from a defense industry computer network in a single intrusion. The strategy indicates that information flow was given priority information security and close attention is being paid to that problem.
