美国国防科学委员会在两年前就发表了一份《信息防卫战》报告,呼吁军方加强信息战的防卫能力,保证美国通信和计算机基础的安全,防止“电子珍珠港事件”的发生。因为现在全世界军事、经济、社会、文化等各方面对网络的依赖性越来越强,这种高度依赖使国家经济和国防安全变得十分脆弱。在这种情况下,电子攻击的威力远远大于原子弹的爆炸力。 美国的今天也将成为我们的明天。遗憾的是,目前国内许多部门还没有意识到网络安全的重要性,信息安全保卫工作严重滞后,全民网络安全意识也极为薄弱。一旦我们的计算机网络特别是要害部门的系统受到攻击,整个社会将陷入严重的危机。怎样才能未雨绸缪,及早做好应对网络战争的准备?本期我们组织了新华社特稿《信息战争,中国准备好了没有?》以及本刊专访《网络安全,走近你我》,希望能对提高我们各级管理部门以及全民的网络安全意识有所裨益。 Two years ago, the U.S. National Defense Science Commission issued a report entitled “Information Defense Warfare.” It called on the military to strengthen the defensive capabilities of the information warfare, ensure the security of U.S. communications and computer infrastructure, and prevent the “Electronic Pearl Harbor Incident.” Because the military, the economy, society and culture all over the world now rely more and more on the Internet, this high dependence has made the country’s economy and national defense security extremely vulnerable. In this case, the power of electronic attacks is far greater than the explosive power of the atomic bomb. The United States today will also be our tomorrow. Unfortunately, at present, many departments in China are still not aware of the importance of cybersecurity and the work of safeguarding information security has lagged behind and the cybersecurity awareness of all people has also been extremely weak. Once the system of our computer network, especially the vital sectors, is attacked, the entire society will fall into a serious crisis. How can we take precautions to prepare for the early war on cyberwar? In this issue, we organized the special feature Xinhua News Agency “Information War, China is ready?” And the magazine interview “network security, approached you and I” It will be helpful to raise the awareness of cybersecurity at all levels of our management and throughout the community.
