We meet today at a transformational moment -- a moment in history when our interconnected world presents us, at once, with great promise but also great peril. 我们今天相聚在一个变革的时刻——一个历史性的时刻，我们相互联系的世界同时呈现出巨大的机遇和巨大的危险。
Now, over the past four months my Administration has taken decisive steps to seize the promise and confront these perils. We're working to recover from a global recession while laying a new foundation for lasting prosperity. We're strengthening our armed forces as they fight two wars, at the same time we're renewing American leadership to confront unconventional challenges, from nuclear proliferation to terrorism, from climate change to pandemic disease. 在过去四个月里，我的政府已经采取了果断措施来抓住机遇并应对这些危险。我们正在努力从全球经济衰退中复苏，同时为持久的繁荣奠定新的基础。我们在加强我们的武装力量，他们正在两场战争中战斗，同时我们正在重振美国的领导地位，以应对从核扩散到恐怖主义、从气候变化到大流行疾病等非常规挑战。
And we're bringing to government -- and to this White House -- unprecedented transparency and accountability and new ways for Americans to participate in their democracy. 我们正在为政府——以及白宫——带来前所未有的透明度和问责制，以及美国人参与民主的新方式。
But none of this progress would be possible, and none of these 21st century challenges can be fully met, without America's digital infrastructure -- the backbone that underpins a prosperous economy and a strong military and an open and efficient government. Without that foundation we can't get the job done. 但是，如果没有美国的数字基础设施——支撑繁荣经济、强大军队和开放高效政府的支柱——这一切进步都不可能实现，这些21世纪的挑战也无法完全应对。没有这个基础，我们就无法完成任务。
It's long been said that the revolutions in communications and information technology have given birth to a virtual world. But make no mistake: This world -- cyberspace -- is a world that we depend on every single day. It's our hardware and our software, our desktops and laptops and cell phones and Blackberries that have become woven into every aspect of our lives. 人们常说，通信和信息技术的革命催生了一个虚拟世界。但不要搞错：这个世界——网络空间——是我们每天都依赖的世界。它是我们的硬件和软件，我们的台式机、笔记本电脑、手机和黑莓手机，它们已经融入了我们生活的方方面面。
It's the broadband networks beneath us and the wireless signals around us, the local networks in our schools and hospitals and businesses, and the massive grids that power our nation. It's the classified military and intelligence networks that keep us safe, and the World Wide Web that has made us more interconnected than at any time in human history. 它是我们脚下的宽带网络和围绕我们的无线信号，我们学校、医院和企业中的局域网，以及为我们国家供电的巨大电网。它是保护我们安全的机密军事和情报网络，以及使我们在人类历史上比以往任何时候都更加紧密联系的世界万维网。
So cyberspace is real. And so are the risks that come with it. 所以网络空间是真实的。与之相伴的风险也是真实的。
It's the great irony of our Information Age -- the very technologies that empower us to create and to build also empower those who would disrupt and destroy. And this paradox -- seen and unseen -- is something that we experience every day. 这是我们信息时代的巨大讽刺——使我们能够创造和建设的技术同样使那些想要破坏和摧毁的人获得了力量。这种悖论——无论看得见还是看不见——是我们每天都在经历的事情。
It's about the privacy and the economic security of American families. We rely on the Internet to pay our bills, to bank, to shop, to file our taxes. But we've had to learn a whole new vocabulary just to stay ahead of the cyber criminals who would do us harm: spyware and malware and spoofing and phishing and botnets. 这关乎美国家庭的隐私和经济安全。我们依赖互联网支付账单、银行业务、购物、报税。但是，我们不得不学习一整套新的词汇来领先于那些想要伤害我们的网络犯罪分子：间谍软件、恶意软件、欺骗攻击、钓鱼攻击和僵尸网络。
Millions of Americans have been victimized, their privacy violated, their identities stolen, their lives upended, and their wallets emptied. According to one survey, in the past two years alone cyber crime has cost Americans more than 8 billion dollars. 数百万美国人已经受害，他们的隐私被侵犯，他们的身份被盗用，他们的生活被颠覆，他们的钱包被掏空。根据一项调查，仅在过去两年里，网络犯罪就给美国人造成了超过80亿美元的损失。
I know how it feels to have privacy violated because it has happened to me and the people around me. It's no secret that my presidential campaign harnessed the Internet and technology to transform our politics. What isn't widely known is that during the general election hackers managed to penetrate our computer systems. 我深知隐私被侵犯是什么感觉，因为这发生在我和我身边的人身上。众所周知，我的总统竞选利用互联网和技术改变了我们的政治。但鲜为人知的是，在大选期间，黑客成功侵入了我们的计算机系统。
To all of you who donated to our campaign, I want you to all rest assured, our fundraising website was untouched. So your confidential personal and financial information was protected. 我想对所有为我们的竞选活动捐款的人说，请大家放心，我们的筹款网站没有受到攻击。所以你们的机密个人和财务信息得到了保护。
But between August and October, hackers gained access to emails and a range of campaign files, from policy position papers to travel plans. And we worked closely with the CIA, with the FBI and the Secret Service, and hired security consultants to restore the security of our systems. 但在8月至10月期间，黑客获取了电子邮件和各种竞选文件的访问权限，从政策立场文件到旅行计划。我们与中央情报局、联邦调查局和特勤局密切合作，并聘请了安全顾问来恢复我们系统的安全。
It was a powerful reminder: In this Information Age, one of your greatest strengths -- in our case, our ability to communicate to a wide range of supporters through the Internet -- could also be one of your greatest vulnerabilities. 这是一个有力的提醒：在这个信息时代，你最大的优势之一——在我们这个案例中，我们通过互联网与广泛支持者沟通的能力——也可能是你最大的弱点之一。
This is a matter, as well, of America's economic competitiveness. The small businesswoman in St. Louis, the bond trader in the New York Stock Exchange, the workers at a global shipping company in Memphis, the young entrepreneur in Silicon Valley -- they all need the networks to make the next payroll, the next trade, the next delivery, the next great breakthrough. 这同样关乎美国的经济竞争力。圣路易斯的小企业主、纽约证券交易所的债券交易员、孟菲斯全球航运公司的工人、硅谷的年轻企业家——他们都需要网络来支付下一次薪水、进行下一次交易、进行下一次交付、实现下一个重大突破。
E-commerce alone last year accounted for some 132 billion dollars in retail sales. 仅去年一年，电子商务就占零售销售额约1320亿美元。
But every day we see waves of cyber thieves trolling for sensitive information -- the disgruntled employee on the inside, the lone hacker a thousand miles away, organized crime, the industrial spy and, increasingly, foreign intelligence services. 但每一天，我们都看到一波又一波的网络窃贼在搜寻敏感信息——内部的不满员工、千里之外的独行黑客、有组织犯罪、工业间谍，以及越来越多的外国情报机构。
In one brazen act last year, thieves used stolen credit card information to steal millions of dollars from 130 ATM machines in 49 cities around the world -- and they did it in just 30 minutes. 在去年一次明目张胆的行动中，窃贼使用被盗的信用卡信息从全球49个城市的130台自动取款机中窃取了数百万美元——他们只用了30分钟就完成了。
A single employee of an American company was convicted of stealing intellectual property reportedly worth 400 million dollars. It's been estimated that last year alone cyber criminals stole intellectual property from businesses worldwide worth up to 1 trillion dollars. 一名美国公司的员工被判盗窃据报价值4亿美元的知识产权。据估计，仅去年一年，网络犯罪分子就从全球企业窃取了价值高达1万亿美元的知识产权。
In short, America's economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity. 简而言之，美国21世纪的经济繁荣将取决于网络安全。
And this is also a matter of public safety and national security. We count on computer networks to deliver our oil and gas, our power and our water. We rely on them for public transportation and air traffic control. 这同样关乎公共安全和国家安全。我们依靠计算机网络来输送石油和天然气、电力和水。我们依靠它们进行公共交通和空中交通管制。
Yet we know that cyber intruders have probed our electrical grid and that in other countries cyber attacks have plunged entire cities into darkness. 然而，我们知道网络入侵者已经探测了我们的电网，在其他国家，网络攻击曾让整个城市陷入黑暗。
Our technological advantage is a key to America's military dominance. But our defense and military networks are under constant attack. Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups have spoken of their desire to unleash a cyber attack on our country -- attacks that are harder to detect and harder to defend against. 我们的技术优势是美国军事主导地位的关键。但我们的国防和军事网络不断受到攻击。阿尔-凯达和其他恐怖组织已经表达了他们对我国发动网络攻击的愿望——这些攻击更难发现，更难防御。
Indeed, in today's world, acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few key strokes on the computer -- a weapon of mass disruption. 事实上，在今天的世界，恐怖行为不仅可能来自几个穿着自杀背心的极端分子，还可能来自计算机上的几次敲击——一种大规模干扰武器。
In one of the most serious cyber incidents to date against our military networks, several thousand computers were infected last year by malicious software -- malware. And while no sensitive information was compromised, our troops and defense personnel had to give up those external memory devices -- thumb drives -- changing the way they used their computers every day. 在对我们军事网络最严重的网络事件之一中，去年有数千台计算机感染了恶意软件。虽然没有敏感信息被泄露，但我们的军队和国防人员不得不放弃那些外部存储设备——拇指驱动器——改变了他们每天使用计算机的方式。
And last year we had a glimpse of the future face of war. As Russian tanks rolled into Georgia, cyber attacks crippled Georgian government websites. 去年，我们看到了战争未来面貌的一瞥。当俄罗斯坦克开进格鲁吉亚时，网络攻击瘫痪了格鲁吉亚政府网站。
The terrorists that sowed so much death and destruction in Mumbai relied not only on guns and grenades but also on GPS and phones using voice-over-the-Internet. 在孟买制造了如此多死亡和破坏的恐怖分子不仅依靠枪支和手榴弹，还依靠GPS和使用网络电话的手机。
For all these reasons, it's now clear this cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation. 由于所有这些原因，现在很清楚，这种网络威胁是我们作为一个国家面临的最严重的经济和国家安全挑战之一。
It's also clear that we're not as prepared as we should be, as a government or as a country. In recent years, some progress has been made at the federal level. But just as we failed in the past to invest in our physical infrastructure -- our roads, our bridges and rails -- we've failed to invest in the security of our digital infrastructure. 同样清楚的是，无论作为政府还是作为国家，我们的准备都不够充分。近年来，联邦层面取得了一些进展。但正如我们过去未能投资于我们的物理基础设施——我们的道路、桥梁和铁路——一样，我们也未能投资于我们数字基础设施的安全。
No single official oversees cybersecurity policy across the federal government, and no single agency has the responsibility or authority to match the scope and scale of the challenge. 没有一个单一的官员监督整个联邦政府的网络安全政策，也没有一个单一的机构有责任或权力来应对这一挑战的范围和规模。
Indeed, when it comes to cybersecurity, federal agencies have overlapping missions and don't coordinate and communicate nearly as well as they should -- with each other or with the private sector. 事实上，在网络安全方面，联邦机构的任务重叠，彼此之间以及与私营部门的协调和沟通远远不够——我们在对Conficker这一互联网蠕虫的混乱应对中看到了这一点，该蠕虫在最近几个月感染了全球数百万台计算机。
We saw this in the disorganized response to Conficker, the Internet worm that in recent months has infected millions of computers around the world. 我们看到了对Conficker这一互联网蠕虫的混乱应对，该蠕虫在最近几个月感染了全球数百万台计算机。
This status quo is no longer acceptable -- not when there's so much at stake. We can and we must do better. 这种现状不再可以接受——当涉及如此之多利益时。我们可以也必须做得更好。
And that's why shortly after taking office I directed my National Security Council and Homeland Security Council to conduct a top-to-bottom review of the federal government's efforts to defend our information and communications infrastructure and to recommend the best way to ensure that these networks are able to secure our networks as well as our prosperity. 这就是为什么在就职后不久，我指示我的国家安全委员会和国土安全委员会对联邦政府保护我们信息和通信基础设施的努力进行自上而下的审查，并建议确保这些网络能够保护我们的网络以及我们的繁荣的最佳方式。
Our review was open and transparent. I want to acknowledge, Melissa Hathaway -- who is here -- who is the Acting Senior Director for Cyberspace on our National Security Council, who led the review team. 我们的审查是开放和透明的。我要感谢梅丽莎·海瑟薇——她今天在这里——她是我们在国家安全委员会的网络空间代理高级主任，领导了审查团队。
As well as the Center for Strategic and International Studies bipartisan Commission on Cybersecurity, and all who were part of our 60-day review team. They listened to a wide variety of groups, many of which are represented here today and I want to thank for their input: industry and academia, civil liberties and private -- privacy advocates. 以及战略与国际研究中心关于网络安全的两党委员会，以及所有参与我们60天审查团队的人。他们听取了各种群体的意见，其中许多群体今天在这里代表，我要感谢他们的投入：行业和学术界、公民自由和隐私倡导者。
We listened to every level and branch of government -- from local to state to federal, civilian, military, homeland as well as intelligence, Congress and international partners, as well. I consulted with my national security teams, my homeland security teams, and my economic advisors. 我们听取了各级和各部门政府的意见——从地方到州到联邦、文职、军事、国土以及情报、国会和国际合作伙伴。我咨询了我的国家安全团队、国土安全团队和经济顾问。
Today I'm releasing a report on our review, and can announce that my Administration will pursue a new comprehensive approach to securing America's digital infrastructure. 今天我发布一份关于我们审查的报告，并可以宣布，我的政府将采取一种新的综合方法来保护美国的数字基础设施。
This new approach starts at the top, with this commitment from me: From now on, our digital infrastructure -- the networks and computers we depend on every day -- will be treated as they should be: as a strategic national asset. 这种新方法从顶层开始，我对这一承诺：从现在起，我们的数字基础设施——我们每天依赖的网络和计算机——将得到应有的对待：作为战略国家资产。
Protecting this infrastructure will be a national security priority. We will ensure that these networks are secure, trustworthy and resilient. We will deter, prevent, detect, and defend against attacks and recover quickly from any disruptions or damage. 保护这一基础设施将成为国家安全优先事项。我们将确保这些网络安全、可信和有韧性。我们将威慑、预防、检测和防御攻击，并从任何中断或损害中快速恢复。
To give these efforts the high-level focus and attention they deserve -- and as part of the new, single National Security Staff announced this week -- I'm creating a new office here at the White House that will be led by the Cybersecurity Coordinator. 为了给予这些努力应有的高层关注和重视——作为本周宣布的新的单一国家安全团队的一部分——我正在白宫设立一个新办公室，由网络安全协调员领导。
Because of the critical importance of this work, I will personally select this official. I'll depend on this official in all matters relating to cybersecurity, and this official will have my full support and regular access to me as we confront these challenges. 由于这项工作的至关重要性，我将亲自挑选这位官员。我将在所有与网络安全相关的事务上依赖这位官员，这位官员将得到我的全力支持，并在我应对这些挑战时定期接触我。
Today, I want to focus on the important responsibilities this office will fulfill: orchestrating and integrating all cybersecurity policies for the government; working closely with the Office of Management and Budget to ensure agency budgets reflect those priorities; and, in the event of major cyber incident or attack, coordinating our response. 今天，我想关注这个办公室将履行的重要职责：统筹和整合政府所有网络安全政策；与管理和预算办公室密切合作，确保机构预算反映这些优先事项；以及在发生重大网络事件或攻击时，协调我们的应对。
To ensure that federal cyber policies enhance our security and our prosperity, my Cybersecurity Coordinator will be a member of the National Security Staff as well as the staff of my National Economic Council. 为确保联邦网络政策增强我们的安全和繁荣，我的网络安全协调员将成为国家安全团队以及我的国家经济委员会团队的成员。
To ensure that policies keep faith with our fundamental values, this office will also include an official with a portfolio specifically dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and civil liberties of the American people. 为确保政策符合我们的基本价值观，该办公室还将包括一名专门负责保护美国人民隐私和公民自由的官员。
There's much work to be done, and the report we're releasing today outlines a range of actions that we will pursue in five key areas. 有很多工作要做，我们今天发布的报告概述了我们将在五个关键领域采取的一系列行动。
First, working in partnership with the communities represented here today, we will develop a new comprehensive strategy to secure America's information and communications networks. 首先，与今天在这里代表的各种社区合作，我们将制定一项新的综合战略来保护美国的信息和通信网络。
To ensure a coordinated approach across government, my Cybersecurity Coordinator will work closely with my Chief Technology Officer, Aneesh Chopra, and my Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra. 为确保政府各部门协调一致的方法，我的网络安全协调员将与我的首席技术官阿尼什·乔普拉和我的首席信息官维维克·昆德拉密切合作。
To ensure accountability in federal agencies, cybersecurity will be designated as one of my key management priorities. Clear milestones and performances metrics will measure progress. 为确保联邦机构的问责制，网络安全将被指定为我的关键管理优先事项之一。明确的里程碑和绩效指标将衡量进展。
And as we develop our strategy, we will be open and transparent, which is why you'll find today's report and a wealth of related information on our Web site, www.whitehouse.gov. 在我们制定战略时，我们将保持开放和透明，这就是为什么你会在我们的网站www.whitehouse.gov上找到今天的报告和大量相关信息。
Second, we will work with all the key players -- including state and local governments and the private sector -- to ensure an organized and unified response to future cyber incidents. 其次，我们将与所有关键参与者——包括州和地方政府以及私营部门——合作，确保对未来网络事件的有组织和统一的应对。
Given the enormous damage that can be caused by even a single cyber attack, ad hoc responses will not do. Nor is it sufficient to simply strengthen our defenses after incidents or attacks occur. 鉴于即使是单次网络攻击也可能造成巨大损害，临时应对是不够的。仅仅在事件或攻击发生后加强防御也是不够的。
Just as we do for natural disasters, we have to have plans and resources in place beforehand -- sharing information, issuing warnings and ensuring a coordinated response. 就像我们为自然灾害所做的那样，我们必须提前制定计划和资源——分享信息、发布警告并确保协调应对。
Third, we will strengthen the public/private partnerships that are critical to this endeavor. The vast majority of our critical information infrastructure in the United States is owned and operated by the private sector. 第三，我们将加强对此项事业至关重要的公私合作伙伴关系。美国绝大多数关键信息基础设施由私营部门拥有和运营。
So let me be very clear: My Administration will not dictate security standards for private companies. On the contrary, we will collaborate with industry to find technology solutions that ensure our security and promote prosperity. 所以我要非常清楚：我的政府不会为私营公司规定安全标准。相反，我们将与行业合作，寻找确保我们安全并促进繁荣的技术解决方案。
Fourth, we will continue to invest in the cutting-edge research and development necessary for the innovation and discovery we need to meet the digital challenges of our time. 第四，我们将继续投资于应对我们时代数字挑战所需的创新和发现的前沿研发。
And that's why my Administration is making major investments in our information infrastructure: laying broadband lines to every corner of America; building a smart electric grid to deliver energy more efficiently; pursuing a next generation of air traffic control systems; and moving to electronic health records, with privacy protections, to reduce costs and save lives. 这就是为什么我的政府正在对我们的信息基础设施进行重大投资：向美国的每个角落铺设宽带线路；建设智能电网以更高效地输送能源；追求下一代空中交通管制系统；并在隐私保护下转向电子健康记录，以降低成本和挽救生命。
And finally, we will begin a national campaign to promote cybersecurity awareness and digital literacy from our boardrooms to our classrooms, and to build a digital workforce for the 21st century. 最后，我们将启动一项全国运动，从我们的会议室到教室提高网络安全意识和数字素养，并为21世纪建立数字劳动力。
And that's why we're making a new commitment to education in math and science, and historic investments in science and research and development. 这就是为什么我们正在对数学和科学教育做出新的承诺，并对科学和研发进行历史性投资。
Because it's not enough for our children and students to master today's technologies -- social networking and e-mailing and texting and blogging -- we need them to pioneer the technologies that will allow us to work effectively through these new media and allow us to prosper in the future. 因为我们的孩子和学生仅仅掌握今天的技术——社交网络、电子邮件、短信和博客——是不够的——我们需要他们开拓能够让我们通过这些新媒体有效工作并让我们在未来繁荣的技术。
So these are the things we will do. 所以这些就是我们将要做的事情。
Let me also be clear about what we will not do. Our pursuit of cybersecurity will not -- I repeat, will not include -- monitoring private sector networks or Internet traffic. 让我也清楚说明我们不会做什么。我们对网络安全的追求不会——我重复一遍，不会包括——监控私营部门网络或互联网流量。
We will preserve and protect the personal privacy and civil liberties that we cherish as Americans. Indeed, I remain firmly committed to net neutrality so we can keep the Internet as it should be -- open and free. 我们将保护和捍卫我们作为美国人所珍视的个人隐私和公民自由。事实上，我仍然坚定地致力于网络中立，这样我们就可以保持互联网应有的样子——开放和自由。
The task I have described will not be easy. Some 1.5 billion people around the world are already online, and more are logging on every day. Groups and governments are sharpening their cyber capabilities. 我所描述的任务不会容易。全球已有约15亿人在线，而且每天都有更多人在登录。各团体和政府正在加强其网络能力。
Protecting our prosperity and security in this globalized world is going to be a long, difficult struggle demanding patience and persistence over many years. 在这个全球化的世界中保护我们的繁荣和安全将是一场漫长而艰难的斗争，需要多年的耐心和坚持。
But we need to remember: We're only at the beginning. The epochs of history are long -- the Agricultural Revolution; the Industrial Revolution. By comparison, our Information Age is still in its infancy. 但我们需要记住：我们才刚刚开始。历史的纪元是漫长的——农业革命、工业革命。相比之下，我们的信息时代仍处于 infancy。
We're only at Web 2.0. Now our virtual world is going viral. And we've only just begun to explore the next generation of technologies that will transform our lives in ways we can't even begin to imagine. 我们才处于Web 2.0。现在我们的虚拟世界正在病毒式传播。我们才刚刚开始探索将以前所未有的方式改变我们生活的下一代技术。
So a new world awaits -- a world of greater security and greater potential prosperity -- if we reach for it, if we lead. 所以一个新世界在等待着我们——一个更安全、更具潜在繁荣的世界——如果我们伸手去够，如果我们去领导。
So long as I'm President of the United States, we will do just that. And the United States -- the nation that invented the Internet, that launched an information revolution, that transformed the world -- will do what we did in the 20th century and lead once more in the 21st. 只要我是美国总统，我们就会这样做。美国——发明了互联网、发起信息革命、改变世界的国家——将像我们在20世纪所做的那样，在21世纪再次引领世界。
Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. 非常感谢大家。谢谢。
