www.industrionage.com web source relating to Cybersecurity coming soon

Protection for all things Internet and Corporate Data



Industrionage is a word I coined one evening, while sitting through my 3 hour long, Fundamentals of Computer Security class; derived quite obviously, from the term Industrial Espionage.

As far as a brand representing the idea of protecting the integrity of data in the day to day workings of the world wide web, Industrionage is hip.

(Although a fellow student of mine pointed out that Industrionage called to mind an example of the latest adventure in Bushspeak or another "Bushism")

Industrionage rolls off the tongue seductively while at the same time intimating the sense of actions taking place both within electronic data networks and throughout the human elements of corporate operations, that are both dangerous and menancing in nature.

There may be an element of over dramatizing and glamorizing the process of datagram packets as they travel over the wire in the course of their interwebz journey, however the reality is that some very frightening and DANGEROUS events are taking place on the world wide web.

I hope to make the term Industrionage a call to arms in a manner of speaking for adopting secure and conscientious practices when operating in the virtual world.

Federal agencies have reported a dramatic increase in the number of information security incidents. It can't be emphasized enough that the age of innocence is now a bygone era and that we have now entered into a time where security must be a lifestyle, where proactive methods and habits of a warrior's ethos is the norm.

It really can't be posted or discussed enough in reference to how our own government is really pushing the initiative for this new mentality as it applies to the internet and our collective online posture:

The CSIS Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency has released its final report, "Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency."

The Commission’s three major findings are:
1. Cybersecurity is now one of the major national security problems facing the United States
2. Decisions and actions must respect American values related to privacy and civil liberties
3. Only a comprehensive national security strategy that embraces both the domestic and international aspects of cybersecurity will improve the situation.
