Security could reach Cabinet level

A panel is likely to recommend that the U.S. establish a White-House-level office of security to deal with the growing cyber-threat, something the report says that the U.S. is managing badly today. Recent attacks on the Pentagon and attacks on some countries (Georgia, during the Russian crisis, for example) suggest that cyber-war may be more advanced than many had believed. It’s likely this report will impact corporate security, as well as security services offered by providers, so this may be an indication that the security market will get hot in 2009 and 2010.
