Former NSA Director: U.S. Needs Security, Privacy

Lt. Col. Doug Fletcher, Critical Infrastructure Key Resources team for the Army Cyber Institute at West Point, explains the importance of Jack Voltaic to more than 70 personnel from public and private sectors from the cities of Savannah and Charleston.

U.S. Marines debark from an MV-22B Osprey at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq in June 2018. A cyberattack could slow how U.S. forces respond to a battlefield.

Cadets visit the Joint Cyber Center, U.S. Army African Command in Stuttgart, Germany to hear about and discuss real-world issues within the cyber domain and how it affects military operations.

As an industrial nation transitioning to an information society with digital conflict, we tend to see the technology as the weapon. In the process, we ignore the fact that few humans can have a large-scale operational impact. But we underestimate the importance of applicable intelligence, the intelligence on how to apply things in the right order. Cyber and card games have one thing in common: the order you play your cards matters. In cyber, the tools are mostly publically available, anyone can download them from the Internet and use them, but the weaponization of the tools occur when they are used by someone who understands how to use the tools in the right order.

Northeastern University and the Army Cyber Institute at West Point hosted a Cyber Day to bring subject matter experts within the civilian and military sectors to discuss cyber topics, including a capture-the-flag activity to identify talent, protection of critical infrastructure, augmented reality, and cyber talent and education.

Around 600 decision-makers, opinion-leaders, law and technology experts from the governments, military, academia and industry of nearly 50 countries meet at CyCon to address current cyber security challenges in an interdisciplinary manner.

Although digital connectivity has made our infrastructure more efficient, it has made it more vulnerable to attack. As a result, infrastructure resilience is more critical today than ever before. Cyberspace attacks rarely affect a single target; instead their effects, anticipated and unanticipated, ripple across interconnected infrastructure sectors. Differing abilities to recognize a cyberspace attack, limited information sharing, varying defense capabilities, and competing authorities complicate the response. These gaps in cybersecurity leave our Nation vulnerable to exploitation by a determined adversary. The Jack Voltaic 2.0 Cyber Research Project is an innovative, bottom-up approach to developing critical infrastructure resilience. Developed by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point and hosted by the City of Houston, in partnership with AECOM and Circadence, this research assembled critical infrastructure partners to study cybersecurity and protection gaps.
