It's interesting that cyberattack and loss of hi-tech jobs are being articulated in this article, both as security threats of course. During the late 1990s, many argued that what was required to promote biosecurity constituted good pubic health policy anyway. Are we seeing a similar pattern with cybersecurity and hi-tech economy?

  • The National Science Foundation has awarded a $2.7 million grant to an eight-state consortium of technology centers and community colleges that is working to block cyber attacks and stop the loss of high-tech jobs in the U.S., officials said Wednesday.
  • The three-year grant to the Cyber Security Education Consortium will help train a new generation of cyber warriors whose job it will be to prevent potentially crippling Internet-based attacks and stop the drain of knowledge and jobs to nations such as China and India, where 2 million technological workers have U.S.-related jobs, the officials said.
  • National Security Agency at Fort George G. Meade in Maryland, said cyber security experts fight to preserve national security and the nation's way of life.
