America's economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cyber security …this is also a matter of public safety and national security.
… we will begin a national campaign to promote cyber security awareness and digital literacy from our boardrooms to our classrooms, and to build a digital workforce for the 21st century.
President Barack Obama, 29 May 2009
