The current Internet and network architecture were not designed with enough security in mind to meet today's threats, and engineers and policymakers should consider developing an alternate, highly secure version of the Internet for critical infrastructure providers, a senior FBI official told IT security pros Thursday at a conference in Baltimore.
"Computer security has become an endless game of defense which has become incredibly costly and is unsustainable in the long term," Shawn Henry, the executive assistant director for the FBI's criminal, cyber, response, and services branch, said in a speech at an Information Systems Security Association event. "The current system will never be good enough, but it's too late for us to disconnect."
While Henry noted that he didn't have all the answers for how future networks should look, he did sketch out some rough elements, including the use of strict access rules and authentication to ensure that only trusted employees have access to critical infrastructure networks. The network would use the same core infrastructure as the regular Internet. Government, critical infrastructure companies, and the technology industry must work together on its design, he said.
