Book excerpt: This report examines the electronic intrusion threat to national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and information systems. Electronic intrusion is defined as gaining unauthorized access to automated information systems, (AJS) including software, hardware, firmware, and the information these systems store and process. Electronic intrusion also includes exceeding or abusing authorized access to that system. The threat posed by electronic intrusion continues to grow due to increased global connectivity, the dramatic worldwide growth of computer literacy, the increased sophistication of intrusion tools and techniques, and the ready availability of detailed intrusion information and user-friendly intrusion tools on the Internet. The increasing complexity of information system software and the massive interconnection of telecommunications and information systems have resulted in a wide range of unintended, often unrecognized, vulnerabilities intruders can exploit.
