The White House, Defending America's Cyberspace: National Plan for Information Systems Protection: An Invitation to a Dialogue (Ver. 1.0) (January 2000) (full-text).

Overview

In January 2000, the White House issued its plan to provide a vision and framework for the federal government to prevent, detect, respond to, and protect the nation's critical cyber-based infrastructure from attack and reduce existing vulnerabilities by complementing and focusing existing federal computer security and information technology requirements.

Subsequent versions of the plan were expected to (1) define the roles of industry and of state and local governments working in partnership with the federal government to protect physical and cyber-based infrastructures from deliberate attack and (2) examine the international aspects of critical infrastructure protection.
