President Obama's State of the
Union address highlighted the importance of cybersecurity, data
security and privacy to his 2015 agenda:
"No foreign nation, no hacker,
should be able to shut down our networks, steal our trade secrets,
or invade the privacy of American families, especially our kids. We
are making sure our government integrates intelligence to combat
cyber threats, just as we have done to combat terrorism. And
tonight, I urge this Congress to finally pass the legislation we
need to better meet the evolving threat of cyber-attacks, combat
identity theft, and protect our children's information. If we
don't act, we'll leave our nation and our economy
vulnerable. If we do, we can continue to protect the technologies
that have unleashed untold opportunities for people around the
globe."
