The budget news coming out of the Department of Defense poses significant challenges for the military as well as its industrial base.
Over the past few weeks a number of cyber security firms have demonstrated their movement from a purely reactive posture and become more proactive. They have demonstrated an interest in what lays just over the horizon that will challenge them.
A very interesting discussion arose with a chief information security officer (CISO) of a critical infrastructure facility within the United States. The topic was the current reality of our cyber defense posture.
The pace of technological advancement is difficult to measure, but one thing is certain: The pace has accelerated and is arguably at an all time high. Recent headlines such as '
The epicenter of cyber is Washington, D.C., and the discourse radiates from the national capital outward. The question is how far from the Beltway it reaches.
National and international crises, military operations, and running critical infrastructure or other businesses demand global situational awareness, consultation and collaboration with distributed partners, access to actionable information for near-real-t
Cyber wargaming (or, as many call it, cyber attack simulation) has really taken off lately, and not just in the defense and intelligence communities.
Depending upon your viewpoint, lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) contracts are either the scourge of defense contractors or the saving grace for a budget-constrained Pentagon. Either way, they're here to stay.
C4ISRNET.com recently reported on an Android Terminal Assault Kit (ATAK) smartphone app being developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and Charles Stark Draper Laboratory to allow troops to call in air strikes quickly and efficiently, reducing opportunities for error and increasing effectiveness. What a great example of marrying commercial and defense technologies to enhance warfighting capability. By leveraging commercial Android software and military tactical mobile ad hoc networks such as the Soldier Radio Waveform and Wideband Networking Waveform, AFRL and Draper labs are transforming the way troops request air support.
Reports about technology-related national security threats seem to appear daily.
Many chief information security officers (CISOs) have expressed increased concern over the cyber risks to our systems and electronic devices. Given the current situation, many planners are not looking longer than a five-year horizon (long term).
As stated in my last post, Big Data has the potential to change the way the Department of Defense accomplishes its mission. However, to take advantage of this potential, the DoD must overcome a few challenges.
As cyber threats grow in intensity and scale, many organizations are evaluating the state of their cyber readiness.

Looking back a few short years ago and comparing the coverage of topics surrounding cyberwarfare, only one conclusion can be drawn: It has exploded!
Many traditional thinkers still believe that geopolitical, social and economic forces will continue to dictate the global balances of power. That is outdated thinking.
