Book Myths and Realities of Cyber Warfare

Download or read book Myths and Realities of Cyber Warfare written by Nicholas Michael Sambaluk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illuminating book examines and refines the commonplace "wisdom" about cyber conflict-its effects, character, and implications for national and individual security in the 21st century. "Cyber warfare" evokes different images to different people. This book deals with the technological aspects denoted by "cyber" and also with the information operations connected to social media's role in digital struggle. The author discusses numerous mythologies about cyber warfare, including its presumptively instantaneous speed, that it makes distance and location irrelevant, and that victims of cyber attacks deserve blame for not defending adequately against attacks. The author outlines why several widespread beliefs about cyber weapons need modification and suggests more nuanced and contextualized conclusions about how cyber domain hostility impacts conflict in the modern world. After distinguishing between the nature of warfare and the character of wars, chapters will probe the widespread assumptions about cyber weapons themselves. The second half of the book explores the role of social media and the consequences of the digital realm being a battlespace in 21st-century conflicts. The book also considers how trends in computing and cyber conflict impact security affairs as well as the practicality of people's relationships with institutions and trends, ranging from democracy to the Internet of Things.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pulls together 4 key Air Force publications on the Cyber Squadron Initiative (CS-I). The Cyber Squadron Initiative (CS-I) is a transformational program to align Air Force communications units to evolving joint and service Cyberspace Operations doctrine, and to support major commands in effectively organizing, training and equipping the Cyberspace Operations Workforce. CS-I will refocus and strengthen traditional Air Force communications units in delivering enhanced mission assurance of wing-level assigned and attached weapons and mission systems to maintain operational advantage across the Air Force's five core missions.

It applies to cybercrew positions that are designated mission ready/combat mission ready (MR/CMR). It establishes the Cybercrew Standardization and Evaluation (Stan/Eval) Program that supports Air Force objectives and provides guidance on how to structure and monitor a stan/eval program. It also establishes procedures for personnel assigned to Air Force cyber weapon systems. If your organization is not following this guidance, then you are at a severe disadvantage. Air Force has been doing this for a while and they provide defensive and operational guidance that can be followed universally to protect critical computer networks.

Book Organizing  Training  and Retaining Intelligence Professionals for Cyber Operations   NSA and Air Force Cyberspace Landscape  ISR  Equipping ISR Pros to Win in Cyberspace  Preserving the Advantage

Download or read book Organizing Training and Retaining Intelligence Professionals for Cyber Operations NSA and Air Force Cyberspace Landscape ISR Equipping ISR Pros to Win in Cyberspace Preserving the Advantage written by U S Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense's recent growth in cyber has outpaced the Air Force's ability to adequately organize, train and retain cyber expertise. This is especially true within Air Force intelligence, a critical component of the Department's Cyber Mission Force construct and a significant contributor to the national intelligence community. To regain and retain the competitive advantage in the cyberspace domain, the Air Force must develop training tailored to each specific intelligence specialty code working in or supporting cyber operations, it must examine its organizational construct splitting the cyber force between two Major Commands, it must consider re-specialization of the 14N career field and it must examine retention mechanisms and consider options such as establishment of a Warrant Officer career field to ensure long term retention of talent. This study uses a qualitative approach to argue that the Air Force is currently not effectively planning for the organization, training or retention of Air Force intelligence professionals working in cyberspace operations.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The digital battlefield transitioned from theory to reality at a rapid pace with a growing number of adversaries looking to the cyber domain to gain an asymmetric advantage. The traditional intelligence-gathering tradecrafts among many nations now include cyber espionage. Malicious actors, state-sponsored or not, can use network attacks to inflict significant damage on their adversaries. The extent of attacks against the U.S. is staggering; the Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Richard Ledgett, estimates that there are "hundreds of thousands" attempted intrusions on U.S. networks each day. The Department of Defense (DoD) acknowledges this threat and has prioritized growth in cyber capabilities despite an austere budget environment. Cyber features prominently within the 2015 National Military Strategy (NMS), which highlights a growing cyber threat to U.S. interests. In response, the DoD has invested human capital into the Cyber Mission Force, a framework of national and regionally focused cyber teams under U.S. Cyber Command, with offensive and defensive capabilities. The 2015 NMS recognizes people as the military's competitive advantage and highlights the need to reward and retain technical talent. The Air Force Future Operating Concept, 2015, echoes this strategy with specific goals to enhance training and modernize Airman management mechanisms within Air Force Core Mission areas, including Global Integrated Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (GIISR).

Book Off We Go Into the Wild Digital Yonder

Download or read book Off We Go Into the Wild Digital Yonder written by Charles C. Rimbey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical component of the Department of Defense's strategy for operating in cyberspace is the designation of this area of conflict as an operational domain. It is assumed the ensuing organizational change associated with this recognition will more effectively facilitate the organization, training and equipping of forces to dominate our adversaries in cyberspace. These functions, however, remain the purview of the separate military services who also remain the keepers of the profession of arms for their respective domains. Given the increasing importance of the cyber domain, it is time to consider a separate service to ensure the dominance of U.S. Forces in cyberspace. This paper examines the cyber domain beyond the mere designation and takes a more enduring perspective. Current initiatives in cyber command and control are examined but revealed as insufficient in the context of the broader title 10 service responsibilities to organize, train and equip cyber forces. The evolution of the Air Force (from the Army Signal Corps and later the Army Air Corps) is used to validate the evolution to a cyber service.

Download or read book Flying and Fighting in Cyberspace written by Sebastian M. Convertino II, Sebastian MConvertino Ii Lieutenant , USAF and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 5 December 2005, the Air Force expanded its mission to include a new domain of war fighting: "to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace." When the Air Force claimed cyberspace as part of its mission, it not only acknowledged the changing terrain of conflict and a shift in tactics of would-be adversaries but also surprised many in uniform who wondered what the move implied. By changing its mission statement, the Air Force sparked considerable debate on the extent to which cyberspace would dominate roles, missions, and the budget. To organize for this task, the Air Force established a new operational command for cyberspace on 6 September 2006, designating Eighth Air Force as the new Cyber Command. The Air Force has determined that cyberspace is fundamental to every aspect of war fighting at all levels of operations, and it is seriously engaged in developing cyber capabilities. However, the study's authors argue that the Air Force needs to clearly articulate what Airmen do in cyberspace and how they do it as war fighters. Furthermore, the long lead time to formalize and standardize cyberspace operating concepts and definitions recognizes the complexity and a of cyberspace as a military operational domain. It also has resulted in a lack of conceptual and doctrinal clarity and consensus on the ends, ways, and means of operating in cyberspace, as well as an unfocused foundation upon which to plan strategy, build and organize forces, and find resources. The study contends that before the Air Force can lead in cyberspace, it must first understand cyber conditions, threats, and vulnerabilities, and clearly define how and where it can contribute to national cyberspace strategy. Furthermore, the Air Force must work toward consensus within the defense community on standardizing cyberspace definitions, doctrine, and operating concepts. Until these issues are fully addressed, the authors contend that the ability of the Air Force to develop, deliver, and employ sovereign and advantageous cyber operations will remain encumbered. In support of Eighth Air Force requirements and the new Cyber Command, the study concludes with critical recomiv mendations to enable the Air Force to effectively "fly and fight" in cyberspace: 1. The Air Force needs a clearly articulated cyberspace operating concept, hardware and software tools, and a dedicated, trained Cyber Warfare Corps. 2. The Air Force should clearly define and distinguish the military operations and effects it expects to achieve with the signals, data, information, knowledge, and intelligence flowing through and resident in cyberspace. 3. The Air Force should understand the current US cyber situation, including cyber conditions, threats, and vulnerabilities. 4. The Air Force should select and systematically apply a methodology sensitive to the technology and transformation forces flowing from the information revolution in order to successfully plan strategy, build and organize forces, and resource its actions in cyberspace. 5. The Air Force should institutionalize "cyber-mindedness" and organize innovatively to successfully build capability and capacity for operating in cyberspace. This study argues that these actions, taken together, will go a long way toward enabling war fighters to plan and execute cyber tasks, apply cyber capabilities, and integrate operations in cyberspace with military capabilities executed in the traditional war-fighting domains. As with all other Maxwell Papers, this study is provided in the spirit of academic freedom and is open to debate and serious discussion of issues. We encourage your response.

Book Developing Cyberspace Competencies for Air Force Professional Military Education

Download or read book Developing Cyberspace Competencies for Air Force Professional Military Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December, 2005, the USAF added cyberspace as a domain of operations to its mission statement "fly and fight in air, space and cyberspace". In November, 2006, the CSAF announced the designation of 8th Air Force as the Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER) and charged 8AF with developing a plan for organizing, training and equipping a cyber force. Further, the Chief signaled his intent to redefine airpower" by focusing on integrating USAF capabilities in air, space, and cyberspace. These events necessitate a cultural change that will impact all AF members. All airmen (to include guard, reserve and civilians) must understand the cyberspace domain and how the US uses it to protect national power and deliver sovereign options for the Commander in Chief.

Download or read book Flying and Fighting in Cyberspace Implications for Command and Control Network Operations and ISR Threat Agent Profiles Mapping of Enemy Systems and Data Cyber Attack and Defense Funding written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research paper develops the foundation for a new military operating concept to "fight the net" in support of 8th Air Force requirements and stand-up as the new Cyber Command. It applies the Air Force Concept Development framework to examine cyberspace as a newly designated warfare domain, and proposes cyber capabilities and effects that the Air Force should develop and apply as it seeks to execute its mission in cyberspace. Before the Air Force can effectively lead in the cyber domain, it must first fully characterize cyber conditions, threats, and vulnerabilities, and clearly define how and where it can contribute to the national cyberspace strategy. Once the Air Force accomplishes these tasks, it can then focus on the nature of war in the cyber domain and consider the implications for military doctrine and operations. In order to successfully build capability and capacity for operating in cyberspace, the Air Force needs to institutionalize "cyber-mindedness" to underpin organizational, research and development, and human capital investments that the Air Force needs "to fly and fight" effectively in cyberspace.THE CYBER DILEMMA * Bounding the Cyberspace Domain * Requirement for a New Framework * Physical Attributes * Domain Differentiation: Cyber versus Information Operations in Cyberspace * Broad Implications for Joint Military Operating Concepts * Effects in Cyberspace * Implications for Command and Control, Network Operations, and ISR * A New Military Problem and New Solutions * Missions that Assure Operations in Cyberspace * Time Horizon, Assumptions, and Risks * Relevance and Concluding Thoughts * THE U.S. CYBER SITUATION - THE PERFECT STORM? * Current Conditions in the Cyber Domain * Information Infrastructure and Critical Infrastructure * Existing "Weather Fronts" - Cyber Threat Agents * Threat and Threat Agent Defined * Threat Agent Profiles * Strong Tropical Disturbance Feeding Energy to the Weather Fronts a.k.a.
