The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of  
Sciences in 1916 to associate the
broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes  
of furthering knowledge and advising the
federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies  
determined by the Academy, the Council has
become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of  
Sciences and the National Academy of
Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and  
the scientific and engineering communities. The
Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of  
Medicine.

Cyberattack refers to deliberate actions to alter, disrupt, deceive,  
degrade, or destroy computer systems or
networks or the information and/or programs resident in or transiting  
these systems or networks. This report
focuses on the use of cyberattack as an instrument of U.S. national  
policy.
