• State sponsors, usually foreign governments, interested in pilfering data, including intellectual property and research and development data from major manufacturers, government agencies, and defense contractors.
• Terrorist groups who want to impact countries by using the Internet and other networks to disrupt or harm the viability of our way of life by damaging our critical infrastructure.
