America's cybersecurity has been described as "broken" by one industry expert and as "childlike" by another.
The criticism comes as President Obama prepares to release the results of a review he ordered.
Tim Mather, chief security strategist for RSA, told BBC News "the approach we have relied on for years has effectively run out of steam."
Meanwhile Alan Paller from the SANS Institute said the government's cyber defences were "embarrassing."
The government review, which will outline a way forward, is expected to be opened up for public comment at the end of this month.
At the same time, President Obama is also expected to announce the appointment of a cybersecurity tsar as part of the administration's commitment to make the issue a priority. - BBC
