The UK is one of the world’s leading
digital nations. Much of our prosperity
now depends on our ability to secure our
technology, data and networks from the
many threats we face.
Yet cyber attacks are growing more
frequent, sophisticated and damaging when
they succeed. So we are taking decisive
action to protect both our economy and the
privacy of UK citizens.
Our National Cyber Security Strategy sets out
our plan to make Britain confident, capable
and resilient in a fast-moving digital world.
Over the lifetime of this five-year strategy,
we will invest £1.9 billion in defending
our systems and infrastructure, deterring
our adversaries, and developing a wholesociety
capability – from the biggest
companies to the individual citizen.
From the most basic cyber hygiene, to the
most sophisticated deterrence, we need a
comprehensive response.
We will focus on raising the cost of
mounting an attack against anyone in the
UK, both through stronger defences and
better cyber skills. This is no longer just
an issue for the IT department but for the
whole workforce. Cyber skills need to reach
into every profession.
The new National Cyber Security Centre will
provide a hub of world-class, user-friendly
expertise for businesses and individuals, as
well as rapid response to major incidents.
Government has a clear leadership role,
but we will also foster a wider commercial
ecosystem, recognising where industry
can innovate faster than us. This includes
a drive to get the best young minds into
cyber security.
The cyber threat impacts the whole of our
society, so we want to make very clear
that everyone has a part to play in our
national response. It’s why this strategy is
an unprecedented exercise in transparency.
We can no longer afford to have this
discussion behind closed doors.
Ultimately, this is a threat that cannot be
completely eliminated. Digital technology
works because it is open, and that
openness brings with it risk. What we
can do is reduce the threat to a level that
ensures we remain at the vanguard of the
digital revolution. This strategy sets out how.

Security and safety of the power grid and its related computer information systems
Name of the student:
Name of the institution:
There have been increased use and application of information and communication technologies in most of critical infrastructures and departments of the government. They have proved to be fundamentally significant in helping the various departments to carry out their daily activities with a lot of ease and proficiency. However, these systems have also opened quite a considerable unforeseen opportunity both positive and negative. The infrastructures have become highly efficient and flexible and this has been very beneficial to the people. On the other hand, there have been persistent problems with cybercrimes and hackers who have outsmarted the government and the set securities protocols every now and then. This has made the state lose billions of dollars in a theft of its secrets and high-level information. In this case, it is right to analyze all the general impacts that can be put in place to prevent cybercrimes as well as threats. It is hence important to validate all the necessary measures that need to be put in place in every organization. The paper will hence give recommendations that can help the named organization solve the issues mentioned.
To address this issue, proper precautions needs to be put in place. The government has to demonstrate preparedness in combating this crime both in terms of systems put in place and also the legal jurisprudence (Higgins, 2016). The US power grid system is an interconnected system that is made up of power generation, transmissions software, and its distribution with a capacity to bring down the whole economy if not well protected. The nation's department of defense (DoD) is one of the most critical and sensitive institutions that can paralyze the state if tampered with by unscrupulous individuals. The situation is even worse if there is an advanced persistent threat (APT) against computers and software that operates the western interconnection power grid. This needs an urgent measure to remove the threat immediately and avoid its reoccurrence. We recommend the following security and safety of the power grid and its related computer information systems are taken by the concerned departments:
a. Creation of a special branch that is specifically dedicated to cyber security
It is high time for the government to come up with a special branch of the military personnel that will be dedicated to fighting cybercrimes (Higgins, 2016). Its main function will be to detect cybercrime activities, to develop mechanisms to prevent cybercrimes, apprehend, arrest and align cyber criminals in a court of law.
b. Creation of special court to determine cybercrime cases

Communications’ Inside Risks col-
umns over the past two decades have
frequently been concerned with trust-
worthiness of computer-communica-
tion systems and the applications built
upon them. This column considers what
is needed to attain new progress toward
avoiding the risks that have prevailed
in the past as a U.S. national cybersecu-
rity R&D agenda is being developed. Al-
though the author writes from the per-
spective of someone deeply involved in
research and development of trustwor-
thy systems in the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, what is described
here is applicable much more univer-
sally. The risks of not doing what is de-
scribed here are very significant.

dynamic, globally intercon-
nected digital and infor-
mation infrastructure that
underpins every facet of so-
ciety and provides critical support for
our personal communication, econo-
my, civil infrastructure, public safety,
and national security. Just as our de-
pendence on cyberspace is deep, so
too must be our trust in cyberspace,
and we must provide technical and
policy solutions that enable four
critical aspects of trustworthy cyber-
space: security, reliability, privacy,
and usability.
The U.S. and the world at large are
currently at a significant decision
point. We must continue to defend
our existing systems and networks. At
the same time, we must attempt to be
ahead of our adversaries, and ensure
future generations of technology will
position us to better protect critical
infrastructures and respond to at-
tacks from adversaries. Government-
funded research and development
must play an increasing role toward
achieving this goal of national and

This document discusses the need for a national cybersecurity research and development agenda in the United States. It makes the following key points:
1) Current cybersecurity systems are not sufficiently secure, reliable, private, or usable. Government-funded R&D initiatives in cooperation with the private sector are needed to transform cybersecurity technologies.
2) Partnerships between government, academia, and the private sector need to be strengthened. Not enough students are pursuing degrees in computer science and related STEM fields to meet future workforce needs. Public-private partnerships are also inadequate for transitioning R&D results into practical technologies.
3) A top priority R&D agenda should focus on 10 areas: software assurance,

Term Project Proposal
1a) The issue:
Huawei is a telecommunications company that was founded in China and rose surprisingly fast in recent time and currently has 16% of the cellphone market and almost 95% of the 5G network market due to their lower prices, technological advancement and fast implementation of networks globally forming partnerships with foreign government and fulfilling network contracts for them.
Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is under scrutiny around the globe as of (2018) over concerns that its close ties with the Chinese government presents national security threats to the U.S., Europe and allied countries due to the company having to submit any data they get from consumers using their products to the Chinese government by law.
This creates security compromises for the consumers, introducing various privacy risks as well as risks of espionage by the Chine.
The document outlines the Department of Defense's strategy for operating in cyberspace. It discusses 5 strategic initiatives: 1) treating cyberspace as an operational domain; 2) employing new defense operating concepts like active cyber defense and network resilience; 3) partnering with other government agencies and the private sector; 4) building international partnerships; and 5) leveraging innovation through cyber workforce development. The strategy aims to organize, train, and equip DoD to operate effectively in cyberspace while addressing growing cyber threats from state and non-state actors.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

National Strategy to Secure 5G of the United States of America
1.
2. W A S H I N G T O N, D C
My fellow Americans:
Fifth generation wireless technology, or 5G, will be a primary driver of our Nation’s prosperity
and security in the 21st century. This new technology will provide consumers, businesses, and
governments with remarkably fast network connections that will enable tens of billions of new
devices to harness the power of the Internet, transforming the way we live, work, learn, and
communicate.
This advancement, however, also ushers new risks and vulnerabilities.
Malicious actors are already seeking to exploit 5G technology. This is a target-rich
environment for those with nefarious motives due to the number and types of devices it will
connect and the large volume of data that those devices will transmit.
This National Strategy to Secure 5G articulates my vision for America to lead the development,
deployment, and management of secure and reliable 5G communications infrastructure
worldwide, arm-in-arm with our closest partners and allies, including:
Facilitating domestic 5G rollout;
Assessing the risks and identifying core security principles for 5G infrastructure;
Managing the risks to our economic and national security from the use of 5G infrastructure;
and
Promoting responsible global development and deployment of 5G infrastructure.
My Administration is committed to protecting America’s national security, promoting our
prosperity, and preserving our civil liberties and democratic ideals. Ensuring the security,
reliability, and trustworthiness of our 5G infrastructure is essential to these endeavors. This
strategy explains how we will do just that.

Introduction
The United States and like-minded countries will lead global development, deployment,
and management of secure and reliable fifth-generation (5G) communications
infrastructure, which includes hardware, software, and services used to provide 5G. The
United States will work with our like-minded partners to establish policies and
structures to leap ahead of global industry competitors as 5G standards, 5G technology,
and applications that ride on 5G technology evolve.
The United States National Cyber Strategy states that:
The Administration will facilitate the accelerated development and rollout of next-
generation telecommunications and information communications infrastructure
here in the United States, while using the buying power of the Federal Government
to incentivize the move towards more secure supply chains. The United States
Government will work with the private sector to facilitate the evolution and security
of 5G, examine technological and spectrum-based solutions, and lay the
groundwork for innovation beyond next-generation advancements.
This National Strategy to Secure 5G expands on how the United States Government will
secure 5G infrastructure domestically and abroad. 5G infrastructure will be an attractive
target for criminals and foreign adversaries due to the large volume of data it transmits
and processes as well as the support that 5G will provide to critical infrastructure.
Criminals and foreign adversaries will seek to steal information transiting the networks
for monetary gain and exploit these systems and devices for intelligence collection and
surveillance. Adversaries may also disrupt or maliciously modify the public and private
services that rely on communications infrastructure. Given these threats, 5G
infrastructure must be secure and reliable to maintain information security and address
risks to critical infrastructure, public health and safety, and economic and national
security.
This National Strategy to Secure 5G will fulfill the goals of the National Cyber Strategy
with four lines of effort: (1) facilitating the rollout of 5G domestically; (2) assessing the
cybersecurity risks to and identifying core security principles of 5G capabilities and
infrastructure; (3) addressing risks to United States economic and national security
during development and deployment of 5G infrastructure worldwide; and (4) promoting
responsible global development and deployment of secure and reliable 5G
infrastructure.
6. – 2 –
Line of Effort 1:
Facilitate Domestic 5G Rollout
The Administration is facilitating the private sector-led domestic rollout of 5G, primarily
coordinated by the National Economic Council. The Federal Communication
Commission’s (FCC) strategy to Facilitate America’s Superiority in 5G Technology (the
5G FAST Plan): (1) makes more spectrum available for commercial use; (2) streamlines
government processes for approving 5G infrastructure deployment; and (3) modernizes
regulations to promote deployment of 5G backhaul.1
In addition, the October 25, 2018
Presidential Memorandum on Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for
America’s Future directed the Secretary of Commerce to issue a National Spectrum
Strategy, which will lay out a long-term plan for spectrum management for 5G and
future generations of advanced wireless networks, to include both space and terrestrial
systems.
The Administration will also continue to work aggressively with the private sector, as
well as like-minded partners and allies to foster and promote the research,
development, testing, and evaluation of new technologies and architectures that
advance the state-of-the-art technology for 5G and beyond.

Line of Effort 2:
Assess Risks to & Identify Core Security
Principles of 5G Infrastructure
The United States Government will promote secure and reliable 5G infrastructure by
regularly assessing the economic and national security and other risks to this
infrastructure, including defining and maintaining the relevant core security principles
for this infrastructure.
Assess the Risks Posed by Cyber Threats to and Vulnerabilities in 5G Infrastructure
The United States Government, in partnership with State, local, and tribal governments
as well as private sector partners, will seek to continuously identify and characterize
economic, national security, and other risks posed by cyber threats to and
vulnerabilities in 5G infrastructure. This effort will include maintaining an
understanding of the global 5G market and 5G capabilities and infrastructure, including
both space and terrestrial components. This activity will be done with appropriate
intergovernmental, interagency, and private-sector engagement.
Develop Security Principles for 5G Infrastructure in the United States
The United States Government will work with the private sector to identify, develop, and
apply core security principles - best practices in cybersecurity, supply chain risk
management, and public safety - to United States 5G infrastructure. The principles will
be synchronized with other security principles endorsed by the United States
Government, such as the “Prague Proposals” from the Prague 5G Security Conference
in May 2019.
8. – 4 –
Line of Effort 3:
Address Risks to United States Economic and
National Security During Development and
Deployment of 5G Infrastructure Worldwide
The United States Government will address the risks presented by the use of 5G to its
economic and national security by analyzing the risks of 5G infrastructure and ensuring
national critical functions and national essential functions are structured in such a way
that they are resilient to these risks.
Manage the Supply Chain Risks in United States Government Infrastructure, Including
5G
The Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018 creates a unified, whole-of-
government approach to protecting Federal systems from supply chain risks in covered
articles, including but not limited to telecommunications equipment and services.
Through the Federal Acquisition Security Council created by the Act, the United States
Government will identify or develop supply chain risk management standards,
guidelines, and practices for executive agencies to use when assessing and mitigating
supply chain risks. The Act includes a structure for preventing the use and procurement
of sources or covered articles, which may include 5G equipment, in executive agency
information systems.
Address the Risk of ‘High-Risk’ Vendors in United States 5G Infrastructure
The UnitedStates Government will ensure that 5G and future generations of information
and communications technology and services will be deployed in a manner that
protects the national security interests of the United States. Executive Order (E.O.)
13873, issued on May 15, 2019, on “Securing the Information and Communications
Technology and Services Supply Chain” establishes the authorities to prohibit certain
transactions that involve information and communications technology or services
designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by,
or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary that pose an undue or
unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States. The United States
Government’s implementation of E.O. 13873 is designed to integrate and synchronize
with activities by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the Federal
9. – 5 –
Acquisition Security Council, and United States Government reviews of certain Federal
Communication Commission licenses involving foreign ownership. The United States
Government will leverage these robust activities to address the risk of high-risk vendors
in the 5G infrastructure.
10. – 6 –
Line of Effort 4:
Promote Responsible Global Development and
Deployment of 5G
The United States will work with like-minded countries to lead the responsible
international development and deployment of 5G technology and will work to promote
the availability of secure and reliable equipment and services in the market.
Develop and Promote Implementation of International 5G Security Principles
The United States Government will participate in the development of international 5G

partners and allies to promote implementation of the 5G security principles within the
“Prague Proposals” document that came out of this conference in May 2019.
Promote United States Leadership in International Standards Development and
Adoption
The United States Government will work to preserve and enhance United States
leadership on 5G in relevant organizations that set standards in concert with the private
sector, including but not limited to commercial, academic, and like-minded
international partners. This will include efforts such as expanding Federal interagency
coordination, participation, and influence in standards-setting organizations. The
United States will emphasize the need for open and transparent processes to develop
timely, technically robust, and appropriate standards. The United States will promote
and support increased participation by the private sector and ensure that such
participation is informed by appropriate public-private coordination.
Incentivize Market Competitiveness and Diversity of Secure 5G Infrastructure Options
The United States Government will work with the private sector, academia, and
international government partners to adopt policies, standards, guidelines, and
procurement strategies that reinforce 5G vendor diversity to foster market competition.
The United States Government will join private sector and international partners in
designing market-base incentives, accountability mechanisms, and evaluation schemas
to assess diversity, component transparency, fair financing, and competition across the
