Toward Global Security

With ever-expanding international trade and data transfers taking place vis-a-vis complex global (including wireless) networks, the United States and our allies must protect our economic and government interests through strategic and aggressive means to prevent cataclysmic events from occurring. By implementing and enforcing strong, multi-layered security policies and processes, constructive progress can and will defeat global threats and malicious activities today and throughout time. [T]he reason that it is so hard to secure a complex system like the Internet is, basically, because it's a complex system. Systems are hard to secure, and complex systems are that much more operose.13 However, we must develop and deploy the right defenses now and in the future. For as Martin Luther King, Jr. once proclaimed, 'We have come to this place to remind ourselves of the fierce urgency of now.' And by implementing proactive comprehensive security processes let us take what steps are necessary to prevent individual and organizational incidents that would result in comparative devastation as to that which was the fate of Mary Queen of Scots centuries ago.
