"The United States possesses both the world's strongest military and its
largest national economy. Those two aspects of our power are mutually
reinforcing and dependent. They are also increasingly reliant upon
certain critical infrastructures and upon cyber-based information systems."
"Because of our military strength, future enemies, whether nations, groups or
individuals, may seek to harm us in non- traditional ways including
attacks within the United States. Because our economy is increasingly reliant upon
interdependent and cyber-supported infrastructures non-traditional attacks on our infrastructure and information
systems may be capable of significantly harming both our military power and
our economy."
