when mcafee and others look at the different types of malware that are potentially getting in your system they have a number of ways of doing it. they're not reading your email per se to see that. they're looking at the stream of data that's coming in look for signatures or ports or different types of activity. and if they see that activity, they alert off of it. jump forward to our cyber legislation. one of the things that we have to have then is if the critical infrastructure community is being attacked by something, we need them to tell us at network speed. it doesn't require the government to read their mail. or your mail to do that. it requires them through the internet service provider or that company to tell us that that type of event is going on at this time. it has to be at network if you're going to stop it. it's like a missile coming into the united states. if you think about a missile coming into the united states, there's two things you could do. we could take the snail mail approach and say i saw a missile going overhead. looked like it's headed your way. put the let ner the

a global study released last year by mcafee, the world's largest security technology company, and science applications international corporation, concluded that corporate trade secrets and other sensitive intellectual capital are the newest currency of cybercriminals. the study found the motivation for such crimes in the cyberunderground is almost always financial. in recent years cybercriminals have shifted from targeting the theft of personal information such as credit cards and social security numbers, to the theft of corporate intellectual capital. corporate intellectual capital is vulnerable, of great value to competitors and foreign governments, and its theft is not always discovered by victims. our intelligence community warns that foreign interests place a high priority on acquiring sensitive u.s. economic information and technology. targets include information and communication technologies, business information, military technologies, and rapidly growing surl civilian and dual use technologies such as those related to clean energy, health care and pharmaceuticals. we know that c
