Cyber Warfare: A New Battleground in International Conflicts Imagine waking up to a city without electricity, transportation systems shut down, and hospitals unable to operate. No bombs have fallen, and no troops have marched in. Instead, the enemy has attacked silently through cyberspace. This is cyber warfare, a growing threat that has transformed the nature of international conflicts. Unlike traditional wars fought on battlefields, cyber warfare happens in the digital realm, targeting infrastructure, stealing sensitive data, and spreading disinformation. It is a new kind of conflict where every connected device could become a weapon—and every nation, business, or individual could be a target. https://lnkd.in/d8-s5mcX

The Diamond Model is a scientific method to improve the efficiency and accuracy of intrusion analysis. With this in your arsenal, you will have opportunities to leverage real-time intelligence for network defence and predict adversary operations.

Immersive Wisdom (IW) focuses on addressing capability gaps in Joint All Domain Operations (#JADO). IW drives streamlined real-time command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (#C4ISR). It also promotes common operating picture access and #CJADC2 visibility while enhancing the sharing of operational situational awareness data across the 5-operating domains (air, land, sea, cyber, space). Additionally, Immersive Wisdom integrates key networks like the Joint Fires Network (#JFN). #defense #technology Readily deliverable to enhance US national security NOW.

Zero Trust provides a robust framework for securing operations, but the ability to work effectively across different security domains requires additional reinforcement. When combined with weapon systems and other assets at the tactical edge, cross domain solutions (CDSs) enable warfighters to gather, transfer, and disseminate intelligence rapidly and react swiftly—capabilities that are critical to mission success.

The importance of deception ..but well performed I speak a lot of the use of #Deception a a useful tactic to prevent cyber attacks and have early warnings of APT near your critical infrastructure. Traditional honeypots focused on mimicing with high level of detail the assets to be attacked and the put the in the internet to learn tactics of attackers. Now this has changed, at least for critical infrastructures, asuming the breach of the perimeters, we shouldn't allocate open to internet, where bots will burn them in minutes, but inmediately next to our critical assets so the mimiced ones make the attackers think they are legitimate and launch their actions against them. But the same important is to have good decoys (modern class of honeypots with active capabilities) as to build a credible environment. Think of this this photograph of Russians allocating a "submarine honeypot " simulating that they had repaired a previously damaged submarine in Sevastopol, but see that the real submarine is still there, not totally covered by the camouflage! So, if you think that attacker knows your environment, try to deliver decoys of the systems inside accordingly and segmentate networks in such way that you don't give the option to the attacker to think if the real objective is next to the decoy!

The integration of data-centric information systems with operational technologies that control physical assets is increasingly enhancing the need for U.S. entities to modernize their cybersecurity and resilience approaches, according to experts from government and industry. On a panel moderated by DefenseScoop Tuesday at a Scoop News Group-produced GDIT event, two Defense Department officials and two defense industry executives shared their latest insights on contemporary, real-world threats they’re tracking — at this convergence of IT systems, like computers and servers, with OT systems, like vehicles and medical devices — and how their teams are moving swiftly to adapt and respond. https://lnkd.in/efCAkfA5

iDirect Government's Transmission Security (TRANSEC) not only protects communications but also provides enhanced security capabilities that warfighters can rely on in the battlefield.

Bruce’s thoughts are always worth considering. Consider this from his NY Times piece: “The bottom line: Our supply chains are vulnerable, which means that we are vulnerable. Any individual, country or group that interacts with a high-tech supply chain can subvert the equipment passing through it. It can be subverted to eavesdrop. It can be subverted to degrade or fail on command. And although it’s harder, it can be subverted to kill.” Bruce isn’t just talking about country-of-origin risk. https://lnkd.in/eKWPZg28 Although Bruce doesn’t explicitly mention the fact that the vulnerability of which he speaks has implications for the security and resilience of the U.S. critical infrastructure, it certainly does. For example, are we learning the lessons we need to from the recent Crowdstrike/Microsoft-related disruptions around the world? What if that disruption prompted broader, targeted attacks from our enemies that we know have the capability to exploit existing, known vulnerabilities? Or if they create a similar, innocent-looking disruption and launch complementary attacks. Regardless of where technology products and software — or major components — originate, sophisticated and motivated malicious actors can exploit them. We have to address this broader problem. We have to work proactively and collaboratively to markedly reduce the risk to the resilience of our critical infrastructure. We are so dependent and so very vulnerable.
