In this particular clip you can hear the President talking about America's digital infrastructure and how we need to protect. This item ties heavily in the Depratment of Defense (DoD) 8570 mandate which call for industry certifications for positions that require touching any DoD computer as it relates to Information Assurance (IA). Further discussed is how we use the internet to shop, bank, and do taxes. As our society heavily relies on this digital infrastructure we become very vulnerable. The question is what happens if in the future we can not truly protect this "digital infrastructure"? As we move forward with technologies and our physical world become more merged with the cyber one we must learn how to properly protect those assets.
