Cyber attacks on US federal networks on the rise
The number of cyber attacks against federal government systems and networks has increased nearly 40 percent, says in the annual report on federal cybersecurity efforts compiled by the Office of Management Budget.
The concrete number of attacks suffered in 2010 is 41,776, which is a marked increase from the 30,000 attacks executed in 2009. The statistic has been provided by the US-CERT, and a breakdown of the number according to type of attack goes like this:
According to the Federal Times, US-CERT has pointed out that the attackers often try to leverage zero-day vulnerabilities in various apps and products to gain access to federal networks.
Most government agencies could and should do a better job when it comes to protecting their networks. Shockingly, 8 percent of the agencies still doesn't have an around-the-clock program for monitoring intrusions. And among those that do, the continuity of monitoring leaves much to be desired.
