The U.S. government is expanding a cybersecurity program that includes big banks, utilities and key transportation companies having emails and Web surfing scanned as a protection against cyber attacks.
Under last month's White House executive order on cybersecurity, said Reuters, the scans will be driven by classified information provided by U.S. intelligence agencies - including data from the National Security Agency (NSA) - on new or especially serious espionage threats and other hacking attempts.
