A new cyberterrorism Center - The Cyber Incident Detection Data Analysis Center (CIDDAC) is opening in the US to act a buffer for critical industries by offering high end intrusion detection systems. the idea is to monitor attempted intrusions and gather data about them to forward to the legal agencies such as the FBI. It is felt the companies will be more amenable to a private non-profit organization monitoring their system than agencies such as the FBI. Intrusion Detection has been a major IT issue for several years, and of course has assumed considerable importance since the rise in terrorism of recent years. Likely this new service is a harbinger of other initiatives to come. U.S. gets new cyberterrorism security center - Computerworld
