Cyber Command Chief Proposes Secure Network For Government, Key Industries -- Washington Post

The commander of the new Pentagon unit charged with protecting the military's computer networks wants to create a "secure" network for government computer systems and those of critical industries, such as power and water.

That strategy of walling off critical computer networks from the rest of the Internet "is probably where you're going to get to, and it makes a lot of sense," said Army Gen. Keith B. Alexander, who heads the recently launched U.S. Cyber Command. Alexander also directs the National Security Agency, which conducts electronic surveillance on foreign targets.
