[pchelpers] News: Cyber security the new 'arms race': Van Loan

Canada's Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan said cyber security is
the new "arms race" as the government fights to protect its information
systems from nefarious threats around the world.

Van Loan was speaking Wednesday at a joint news conference with U.S.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in Ottawa. 

He was asked by CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife about the threat
of cyber crime from countries such as China and Russia. 

"The countries you mentioned are ones that have proven to be adept
operators in that area and they're not the only ones, there are a lot of
private individuals and other interests that are threatening our
security in that regard," he said. 

"I really look at this area almost as the new arms race."
