There have been instances where organized attackers have exploited vulnerabilities that may be indicative of more destructive capabilities. Uncertainties exist as to the intent and full technical capabilities of several observed attacks. Enhanced cyber threat analysis is needed to address long-term trends related to threats and vulnerabilities. What is known is that the attack tools and methodologies are becoming widely available, and the technical capability and sophistication of users bent on causing havoc or disruption is improving.

We must act to reduce our vulnerabilities to these threats before they can be exploited to damage the cyber systems supporting our Nations critical infrastructures and ensure that such disruptions of cyberspace are infrequent, of minimal duration, manageable, and cause the least damage possible.
