Over the past few years a number of cyber attacks perpetrated by criminals, hackers and foreign nations against the U.S. Government's networks rose sharply.

Since 2009, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has steadily increased its cyber research efforts. The Agency's budget submission for fiscal year 2012 increased cyber research funding by $88M, from $120M to $208M. Over the next five years, the Agency plans to grow its top line budget investment in cyber research from 8 percent to 12 percent with focus on offensive capabilities to address military-specific needs. That means DARPA will increase cyber security investments by 50% over next five years. In December 2011 the U.S. Senate approved $443 million for cyber security and cyber education as part of the FY12 Homeland Security Appropriations bill in a view of growing number of cyber attack against government infrastructure.

In response to ever-increasing cyber threat the U.S. government will whatever action is necessary to protect the nation's critical infrastructure.
