Considering
the growing role of the Internet in today's society, technology
convergence and, in particular, the increasing network interconnection,
information systems are more vulnerable than ever before and are exposed to a growing
number of threats. ICTs raise new challenges for security, and new concerns are being addressed by several national and
international entities.

Special
report from CERT/CC: "Tracking
and Tracing Cyber-Attacks: Technical Challenges and Global Policy Issues
(PDF).
"The anonymity enjoyed by today’s cyber-attackers poses a
grave threat to the global information society, the progress of an
information-based international economy, and the advancement of global
collaboration and cooperation in all areas of human endeavor [...] It
is clear that tracking and tracing attackers across a borderless
cyber-world, and holding them accountable, requires multilateral actions
that transcend jurisdictions and national boundaries."
