It has been suggested that major portions of the civilian infrastructure of the United States are at risk due to the threat of an attack on its distributed computer networks and communications systems. Given the heterogeneous nature of the asset classes within the infrastructure, coordination of communication and assessment activities is a problem. In particular, simply recognizing that an Information Warfare (IW) attack is underway represents a significant problem. Also see Critical Infrastructure Protection.
