. 22Each sector that becomes cyber-enabled becomes vulnerable to attack. Healthcare,education, and finance are already at risk, and physical infrastructure –manufacturing, energy production, and transportation – will be next. This trendtoward increasingly cyber-physical systems, the integration of computation,communication, and control into physical systems, will continue to offer newchallenges.Consider, for example, the recent STUXNET worm. Discovered in July 2010, this worm targeted SCADA systems that were configured tomonitor and control a kind of centrifuge used in Iranian nuclear fuel processing facilities.1. “We monitored sensitive transmissions about operations by agents in every Federal law enforcement agency in the Department of
