March, 2009: Computer Attacks Prompt Call for a Cyber-Security czar
Hackers believed to be based in China have tapped into the computer network in U.S Senator Bill Nelson's office. Two attacks on the same day this month and another one last month. Hackers did not gain access to any classified information.
However, those attacks have prompted Nelson and other senators to call for the creation of a permanent national cyber-security czar.
Law makers are crafting legislation that, among other things, would:
- Establish a permanent national cyber-security czar who would report directly to the president.
- Require vulnerability assessments by intelligence and Homeland Security officials, reviewing the threat to not only government computers but critical private networks as well.
- Create a public-private clearinghouse for cyber threat and vulnerability information sharing. The clearinghouse would be responsible for the management and sharing of data between the federal government and private sector critical infrastructure operators.
- Provide funding for scholarships to get more people into the field of cyber-security.

January, 2009: Obama's big idea: Digital health records
President-elect Barack Obama has proposed a massive effort to modernize health care by making all health records standardized and electronic within five years.
Early government estimates showed about 212,000 jobs could be created from this program. However, many hurdles stand in the way. Only about 8% of the nation's 5,000 hospitals and 17% of its 800,000 physicians currently use the kind of common computerized record-keeping systems that Obama envisions for the whole nation. And some experts say that serious concerns about patient privacy must be addressed first. Finally, the country suffers a dearth of skilled workers necessary to build and implement the necessary technology.
