Protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) against cyber terrorism: Development of strategy and policy framework

Abstract

Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) is crucial to the survivability of a nation that the destruction or disruption of these systems and communication networks would significantly affect the economic strength, image, defense and security, government capabilities to function, and public health and safety. CNII would probably become an attractive target for terrorists. There is a need to have a strategy at the national level for the protection of CNII from cyber terrorism activities.
