Heads-up remarks from two of America’s highest-ranking national security figures recently on cyber security.
First came Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense, warning that the United States in vulnerable to a “cyber Pearl Harbor ” – an Internet attack on infrastructure that could shock and disable the nation.

Then came Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, just last week, saying a “cyber 9.11” could happen “imminently.” Then news that the Pentagon is looking to sharply expand its force of cyber warriors.

This hour, On Point: cyber warnings, cyber force, and cyber security now.
