Businesses have the primary responsibility for ensuring security on the Internet, said Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dick Brown Monday, but there also must be a high level of cooperation between businesses and governments worldwide to enhance security.
Brown said there is a striking diversity of cyber crimes being committed, from hacker attacks and break-ins to viruses, and from piracy to denial-of-service attacks. Preventing them is critical to the health of the digital economy because information must be protected or no one will trade it, said Brown in a keynote speech to the Information Technology Association of America's (ITAA) inaugural global information cyber security conference.
