Governments are scrambling to shore up the defences of critical infrastructure systems as the web exposes them to greater scrutiny.
"For attackers, the potential pay-off for compromising these systems is very high," said Mr Wilhoit.
Governments are turning their attention to increasingly public vulnerabilities in such critical systems.
The US Department of Homeland Security has established a computer emergency response team that deals solely with threats to industrial control systems.
In the UK, government cash has been made available to help intelligence agencies and law enforcement deal with cyberthreats. Continue reading the main story A Cabinet Office spokesman said cyber-attacks were one of the "top four" threats to the UK's national security.
"Billions of pounds are being lost to the UK economy from cybercrime each year, including from intellectual property theft and cyber-espionage," he said. "Industry is by far the biggest victim."

Der sorglose Umgang der Mitarbeiter mit mobiler Technologie gehört laut IDC neben Malware und Phishing-Attacken zu den häufigsten Risiken beim Thema Mobile Security in Unternehmen. Zu den größten Sicherheitsrisiken aus Sicht der IT-Verantwortlichen zählen dabei Mobile Malware mit 42 Prozent, gefolgt von Phishing und Social Engineering mit 35 Prozent. Weitere 30 Prozent gaben an, dass das Fehlverhalten von Anwendern – vorsätzlich oder unabsichtlich – ein großes Risiko darstelle. Sie planen deshalb, die Mitarbeiter stärker für das Thema Mobile Security zu sensibilisieren. Dies soll vor allem durch Trainings der Anwender und IT-Mitarbeiter sowie Richtlinien zur sicheren Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte geschehen - wobei hier die Wünsche der IT-Verantwortlichen und der User teils sehr unterschiedlich sind. .

We need to engage with other sectors of the business and society in general so that people are better educated and aware of the scale of the threats and challenges we face. So instead of shouting in an attempt to drown out the voices of those looking to create this engagement we should be shouting words of encouragement and try to find ways to amplify their message. If we cannot do this, then we simply should stay silent so as not to distract from or derail the message.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has announced that the majority of data breaches in the first quarter of 2013 were due to carelessness in the way that the information was handled.
That's according to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) which says 175 out of 335 incidents it examined between April 1 and June 30 were due to personal data being “disclosed in error”.
Half of data breaches are due to people being careless with what they do with private information. How can we all help to reduce this problem?
