ICE

ICE stands for Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics, the most advanced form of security on the Net. Every sane corporation has a crack division of netrunners making sure their data fortress is well-protected. Meanwhile, every self-respecting netrunner does everything they can to find a backdoor in corporate ICE and gain access to their subnet. Cutting through very thick ICE requires a lot of skill, precision and dumb courage, otherwise you may end up with your synapses fried to a crisp.[2]
