What is Jack Voltaic®?
United States military installations and their surrounding communities share an interest in the resiliency of cyber-critical infrastructure systems. In addition to civil-military interdependencies, a failure in one critical infrastructure sector can cause cascading effects across others. The Army Cyber Institute (ACI) launched the Jack Voltaic® (JV) initiative to address gaps and build resilience.
Jack Voltaic Overview
United States military installations and their surrounding communities share an interest in the resiliency of cyber-critical infrastructure systems. In addition to civil-military interdependencies, a failure in one critical infrastructure sector can cause cascading effects across others. ACI launched the Jack Voltaic (JV) initiative to address gaps and build resilience. Beginning with the first exercise (JV 1.0) in 2016, these exercises addressed multi-sector cyber-critical infrastructure challenges.
- Civil-military
- Local, community level
- Multi-sector
- Unclassified
With each iteration of JV, ACI’s critical infrastructure resilience program will mature and transition. Through partnerships with other academic and policy communities, ACI seeks to foster the growth of JV-inspired practices. Multiple initiatives through 2026 will build upon the momentum and lessons of JV 1.0 - 4.0.
