Abstract

After briefly presenting examples of potential vulnerabilities in computer systems which society relies on, the concept of risk analysis is introduced and applied to a simplified model for a nation's financial system. A sampling of specific technical safeguards to ameliorate the risk in this (or any) computer system is then given. The paper concludes with examples of questions to be asked before committing to any new technological system.
