<p align="center" class="style26"><em>"Advanced information technology is a dual-edged sword,
because while...it is a tremendous <br>
source of great
strength,... it can make
us very vulnerable to the <br>
kind of cyber-terrorism that is now on the rise."</em></p>
<p>The issue of cyber-security
was teed up at the global summit in Moscow. It was at that summit that we began
to more seriously discuss the information technology and security issues that
stemmed from our movement into the Information Age. We also started to discuss
there how we, as institutions, NATO and the EU in particular, would address
those issues.� </p>
<p>Since that time, Roger
Weissinger-Baylon has regarded that topic as a very important one, and today we
have a very distinguished panel addressing the subject and taking it very
seriously. I think we can all agree, based on the comments that have been made
since the beginning of the workshop, that cyber-security is a strategic
imperative and something we have to start dealing with. </p>
<p>In his luncheon address, John
Grimes covered a lot of ground, so I won�t go into the particulars of why this
area is so important. I will say, however, that if there is one summary of why
the topic is important, it is that institutions are not only making a strategic
security and stability shift from guns to blankets, as we talked about earlier,
but that they are going from guns to blankets to information, because there is
no doubt that without the full use of our information and computers and
information technology, our institutions will not be successful in bringing
enhanced security and stability to all the regions we have been talking about
at this workshop.� </p>
<p>One example of just how
much our network technology is already benefiting people everywhere and how our
institutions can leverage that situation is the effort now underway to design
inexpensive, small computers�the cost is being driven down below $50�to make
them so human-friendly that people in the most illiterate and underprivileged
countries can use them. The fact that personal digital assistants (PDAs) can
now be used by farmers in Africa to map their fields to instantly download
satellite coverage to determine irrigation patterns or to get quick, up-to-date
weather information shows that we can use information technology to our
advantage, especially in the areas of security and stability in very
underprivileged regions. </p>
<p>This panel is going to be
dealing with such issues. It is also going to deal with the issue that Mr.
Grimes raised�that advanced information technology is a dual-edged sword,
because while we can leverage it and it is a tremendous source of great
strength, it is also a significant source of vulnerability, because it can make
us very vulnerable to the kind of cyber-terrorism that is now on the rise. </p>
