The Defense Department’s IT agency is shoring up the military’s infrastructure to better withstand attacks as China looks for ways to disrupt everyday life in the United States during a conflict, Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner said Wednesday.  “That is a key objective for the PRC: to make sure that they can disrupt our day-to-day life,” said Robert Skinner, who leads the Defense Information Systems Agency. “They will want to look at: ‘How can we disrupt, not just militarily, but from an information standpoint, and from our day-to-day lives?’ To see: ‘Is the will there, as a nation, to continue on with whatever kind of conflict is going?’” Skinner said that China’s “risk tolerance continues to change”—meaning that Beijing is willing to go further in its offensive cyber and space operations.
