While traditional cybersecurity defenses focus on prevention, there are many vulnerabilities and potential attacks against weapon systems. While weapon systems are more software dependent and networked than ever before, cybersecurity has not always been prioritized with regards to weapon systems acquisition.
Threat actors have advanced in their sophistication as they are well-resourced and highly skilled, oftentimes gathering detailed knowledge of the systems they want to attack. Ensuring stronger detection methods is imperative, but because these types of threats are very targeted and advanced, agencies need the capability to proactively hunt.
Unprotected Data: Your Risk of Internet-Enabled Psychological and Information...Maurice Dawson
Since the last elections in the United States, France, and other nations, fake news has become a tool to manipulate voters. This creation of fake news creates a problem that ripples through an entire society creating division. However, the media has not scrutinized enough on data misuse. Daily it appears that there are breaches causing millions of users to have their personal information taken, exposed, and sold on the Dark Web in exchange of encrypted currencies. Recently, news has surfaced of major social media sites allowing emails to be read without user consent.

1. Explain what is meant by the collaborations between port security and enforcement operations.
Collaborations between port security and enforcement operations is paramount. Although security officers and law enforcement officers have the same mission which is to keep the port secured, one will always have more authority than the other. Port security has a broad spectrum not limited to gate guards, check points, roving patrols and surveillance. Even though port security may seem like an all-in one but there are limits of each section. Private security agencies have a strong foot hold in the fight against terror in the United States.
Enforcement operations are the actions from the planning and briefings that are conducted every day. As enforcement, the unit must go out and enforce the rules, regulations and laws of which are written in the maritime laws and the United States. Enforcement has the responsibility for making arrest and conducting the searches on the vehicle, people and vessels that enter the port.
The communication between the private security and the United States government is a relationship that requires an understanding on which section does what. Communication is paramount in the security world and all sections need to work as a team to succeed.
2. Discuss the priorities detailed in the 2013 DNI Threat Assessment Report?
The Director of National Intelligence covered almost about everything involving the national security on the United States regarding many countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America. The report also included many categories such as weapons of mass destruction, cybercrime and food. Weapons of mass destruction can be made out of many things and it is difficult to keep track of all the house hold products that can make a bad day for the public. Cybercrime is on the top of the list due to everything is connected to the internet. With cybercrimes that are influenced by other countries, they can harm the Unites States infrastructure by creating a panic in the economy. Food may seem like a small worry but food is a major factor in everyday life. If the food industry would to be contaminated with a virus it could cause an epidemic that could be fatal to thousands.
All sections in the DNI 2013 report are important, many have a higher level of concern due to the lives at risk and the areas that can be affected by a terrorist attack.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Democracy
• Require common political knowledge
• Who the rulers are
• Legitimacy of the rulers
• How government works
• Draw on contested political knowledge to solve
problems
• Vulnerable to attacks on common political
knowledge
Autocracy
• Actively suppress common political knowledge
• Benefit from contested political knowledge
• Vulnerable to attacks on the monopoly of
common political knowledge

9. MOST CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS ARE BASED ON INFLUENCE
Force an adversary to make a decision or take an
action based on:
• Information I hide
• Information I give
• Information I change
• Information I deny/degrade
• Information I destroy
Enable my decisions based upon knowing yours
“Operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their
emotions, motives, and objectives reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments,
organizations, groups, and individuals”

• A form of conflict (Singer, Gerasimov)
• [A social problem]
• [News source pollution]

• Lingua Franca across communities
• Defend/countermove against reused techniques, identify gaps in attacks
• Assess defence tools & techniques
• Plan for large-scale adaptive threats (hello, Machine Learning!)

14. DOING IT AT SCALE
• Computational power
• Speed of analysis
• Lack of framework
• Systems theory and emergence of
characteristics
• Cognitive friction
• Cognitive dissonance

19. POPULATING THE FRAMEWORK: HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
• Campaigns
• e.g. Internet Research Agency, 2016 US elections
• Incidents
• e.g. Columbia Chemicals
• Failed attempts
• e.g. Russia - France campaigns
!19
20. HISTORICAL CATALOG: DATASHEET
• Summary: Early Russian (IRA) “fake news”
stories. Completely fabricated; very short lifespan.
• Actor: probably IRA (source: recordedfuture)
• Timeframe: Sept 11 2014 (1 day)
• Presumed goals: test deployment
• Artefacts: text messages, images, video
• Related attacks: These were all well-produced
fake news stories, promoted on Twitter to
influencers through a single dominant hashtag --
#BPoilspilltsunami, #shockingmurderinatlanta,
• Method:
1. Create messages. e.g. “A powerful explosion heard from
miles away happened at a chemical plant in Centerville,
Louisiana #ColumbianChemicals”
2. Post messages from fake twitter accounts; include handles
of local and global influencers (journalists, media,
politicians, e.g. @senjeffmerkley)
3. Amplify, by repeating messages on twitter via fake twitter
accounts
• Result: limited traction
• Counters: None seen. Fake stories were debunked very
quickly.
