Cyber Security Act of 2009 
 
Introduction: 
 
This paper is the result of the analysis of the cyber security bill introduced by Mr. 
Rockefeller, Ms. Snowe & Mr. Nelson of Florida. The bill was referred to the Committee 
on Commerce, Science & Transportation. In this bill, cyber security issues, security 
policies, procedures and programs are discussed. There are many acts formed for 
ensuring that security practices are being followed in the private and government 
organizations. Standards related to software development and security policies have 
been created and measures have been taken to ensure that the said standards are 
followed properly. Security awareness is encouraged among people by the government. 
Government is also focusing on the research and development of the security standards 
and programs. 
 
Focus of the cyber security Bill: 
 
The main aim of this bill is to provide a secure environment so that all the commerce 
transactions taking place through internet, in the United States and with its business 
partners located globally, can be successfully executed without any kind of security 
issues. This bill will help in developing information technology specialists so that cyber 
security can be improved and managed effectively, without any security barriers. 
 
Findings: 
 
Following are the findings by the Congress: 
 
 The most important national security concern is related to the cyberspace.  
 In this internet era, almost every details is stored in the digital form, be it related 
to the business, personal or bank account details. This has made our life very 
easy and comfortable but like the other side of the coin, it has a major 
disadvantage too in the form of security issues. 
 As per the assessment of the 2009 Annual Threat, the cyber-attacks against the 
major service provider can rigorously impact the economy of the nation as 
compared to the cyber-attacks against software systems used to control the 
power-grids or oil refineries. 
 Cyber criminals target the information network of the govt. to gain their hold on 
the commercial sectors. 
 There are lot of e-business developing these days and everyone wants to run 
their business at the earliest so they are not following the proper security 
standards for the development of their web sites which creates many holes in the 
security systems and hackers can take advantage with this. 
 Security of the nation is directly dependent on the security of communication and 
information technology. 
 Cyber security and cyber-attacks go hand-in-hand. As the developers find new 
ways to improve the security of the system, in the same manner,
