How the Revolution in Military Affairs has set the stage for future cyberwars
The document discusses how the Revolution in Military Affairs and push for network-centric warfare has left military networks vulnerable to cyber attacks. It outlines several past failures in securing military IT systems and networks that have allowed data theft and malware infections. The document warns that without improved security, future conflicts could involve crippling cyber attacks that undermine military communications, intelligence, and weapon systems like drones and the F-35 fighter. It defines cyberwar as using cyber attacks to support military force and outlines how a "Cyber Pearl Harbor" could involve defeating US forces through gaining information dominance in a conflict.
The Internet of Military Things: There Will Be Cyberwar
Richard Stiennon discusses the evolution of network-centric warfare and how the military's overreliance on networked technology without proper security precautions has increased vulnerabilities. He outlines several past security failures in the military's use of IT and argues we could see a "cyber pearl harbor" if an adversary is able to gain information dominance by hacking networks and systems to disrupt communications and sensor grids during a future conflict. Stiennon warns that vulnerabilities in platforms like the F-35 could allow an enemy to subvert mission tasking and potentially achieve military defeat through cyber attacks.

What makes the IT industry tick?
The IT security industry is large and growing, with over 1,200 vendors worldwide, including 540 in the United States and 230 in the Bay Area. The industry is driven by growing threats like cyber warfare, cybercrime, hacktivism and exploratory hacking. New technologies emerge every 4-10 years, while new compliance regimes and audit practices develop on a timescale of 6 months to 2 years. The major segments of the industry include network security, identity and access management, endpoints, data protection, and cloud-based security services. Beaconing detection in gateways and whitelisting approaches for endpoint protection are newer developments. The industry continues to evolve as cyber conflicts increase globally.
New definition for APT
New threats from highly sophisticated attacks targeting source codes, data, and personnel require new defensive responses. The document outlines the evolution of advanced persistent threat adversaries and examples of major cyber attacks. It then proposes assembling a cyber intelligence team with roles for a Cyber Commander, Analysts to study emerging threats, an Operations team to deploy tools and monitor for infections, and a Red Team to test defenses through internal auditing.

China has developed extensive cyber warfare capabilities since the mid-1990s. They have intelligence and military organizations dedicated to cyber warfare and conduct frequent exercises. These capabilities include penetrating other networks and planting viruses. However, China's own networks remain vulnerable. As a result, China has adopted a pre-emptive cyber strategy of unleashing its capabilities at the start of potential conflicts to disrupt enemy systems, though these are still relatively unsophisticated. It is difficult to attribute many Chinese cyber activities to official agencies due to use of private actors.
CWFI Presentation Version 1
Presentation on cyber warfare, recent examples, current capabilities of the major players, and issues relating to the advancement of cyber warfare and cyber security in the United States. The Cyber War Forum Initiative is promoted for its role in solving many elements of the issues facing the US.
Computer Attack Stratagems
1. China leverages computer network attack and exploitation techniques, harvesting information critical to building a modern nation-state and "informationalized", technical military forces.
2. China adapted ancient stratagems for CNA & CNE operations.
3. China can claim plausible denial for nation-sponsored hacking activities, hiding within the sea of everyday hackers.
4. On the other hand, north Korea must take CNA & CNE operations outside its country's boundaries.
Cyberterrorism
This document discusses cyberterrorism and related topics like cyber warfare. It begins by defining cyberterrorism and differentiating it from cyber crimes and cyber warfare. It then examines examples of cyber attacks attributed to terrorist and state-sponsored groups, including website defacements, denial of service attacks, and sophisticated intrusions into government and military networks to steal information. The document also evaluates the proportionality of state responses and proposes ways to increase security of critical networks and infrastructure by separating them from the public internet and limiting the use of commercial software.
Cyber Threats
The document discusses global cyber threats, including threats from hackers, hacktivists, organized crime groups, foreign governments like China, and cyber terrorists. It notes that thousands of systems are compromised daily, national critical assets and global economic stability are at risk, and the internet's root servers face daily attacks. The threats have grown due to increasing dependencies on technology and connectivity.
Honeypots in Cyberwar
Honeypots and honeynets are used to study cyber attacks. A honeypot is a computer system set up to attract cyber attacks so threats can be observed and analyzed. A honeynet contains multiple honeypots and allows attacks on an entire network to be monitored. Deploying honeypots provides benefits like risk mitigation, intrusion detection, and research opportunities to study attacker techniques. However, honeypots also have downsides like limited visibility and potential additional security risks if compromised.
UNITED STATES AND CHINA 2001: PATRIOTIC HACKING
The document analyzes the 2001 cyber attacks between the United States and China following a collision between a U.S. plane and Chinese fighter jet. Chinese hackers began attacking U.S. websites in protest, and U.S. hackers retaliated, launching a 7-day cyber battle. The attacks involved web defacement, viruses, and DDoS attacks targeting government websites. Both sides were motivated by patriotism and tensions between the countries. The U.S. responded defensively while China took a more offensive approach. The attacks exposed vulnerabilities in how each country approached cyber defense and deterrence at the time.
Computers as weapons of war
This document discusses how warfare has shifted from focusing on physical occupation of territory during the industrial era to also including cyber defense in the modern era. It provides examples of how cyber attacks have been used militarily, such as Russia's attacks on Georgia in 2008. The document also outlines potential offensive cyber operations that could be conducted by militaries, such as inserting logic bombs to sabotage critical infrastructure systems of adversaries or increasing speeds in nuclear centrifuges to cause failures. While cyber attacks provide advantages of remote targeting, they also face challenges in producing consistent, quantifiable results.
cyberthreats-111024103826-phpapp01.pptx
This document discusses cyber threats such as cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare, and various types of cyber attacks. It defines cyberterrorism as using computer networks to shut down critical infrastructure like energy or transportation, or to coerce governments. Information war is using computers to attack an enemy's information systems rather than their armies. Common cyber attacks are described as trojan horses, viruses, phishing, denial of service attacks, and distributed denial of service attacks. Recent examples of cyber attacks are provided, along with descriptions of the US Cyber Command and Department of Homeland Security which work to defend against cyber threats.

Malware Every Second outlines how cyberattacks have increased exponentially, with McAfee finding new malware every second by 2013. The Stuxnet case study details a "bloodless" cyberwar operation by the US and Israel against Iran's nuclear program via a targeted worm. It infiltrated systems through flash drives and sabotaged centrifuges while appearing to engineers as equipment defects. Stuxnet highlighted cyberwarfare's potential for precision attacks with no human casualties. However, civilian networks will still suffer collateral damage as combatants use them for attacks. Future trends of cloud, mobile and big data will shape ongoing cybersecurity challenges.
Is the us engaged in a cyber war
This document discusses the challenges in determining when cyber attacks constitute acts of war. It explores issues like attribution, escalation, and setting legal precedents. While most cyber attacks are currently considered "uses of force" that allow proportional responses, there is no clear agreement on where digital actions become "armed attacks" warranting military retaliation. The document examines recent incidents like Stuxnet and debates whether a combination of severe cyber attacks threatening economic stability could cross that threshold. Overall, it aims to clarify complex legal and policy issues regarding conflict in digital domains.

Why Risk Management Fails
Risk Management was developed so that IT security could “speak to management.”
Management understands threats not risks.
Show them the threats and they will respond.
Cyber security industry trends
The document discusses trends in cybersecurity spending and the cybersecurity industry. It finds that cybersecurity spending has increased tenfold over the past decade and will reach $639 billion by 2023. There are currently over 1,440 cybersecurity vendors across 80 categories and 35 countries. The largest cybersecurity markets are network security, endpoint security, and identity and access management. The cybersecurity industry is growing at an overall rate of 24% each year.
Stiennon Keynote at Trusted Computing Conference 2013, Orlando
The document discusses the erosion of trust in technology due to increased global surveillance capabilities and the implications for cybersecurity spending and policies. It notes that revelations about mass global surveillance programs have changed the threat landscape, with the surveillance state now posing a greater risk than cybercrime or other threats. It predicts that spending on encryption and security measures to protect against surveillance will dramatically increase as protecting confidential data and communications becomes a top priority for governments and companies around the world.
How the Surveillance State Changes IT Security Forever
The document discusses how revelations about government surveillance programs are fundamentally changing IT security. It outlines how surveillance by intelligence agencies like the NSA poses a new top threat that is driving a massive increase in security spending by companies to protect themselves and their customers. Trillions will be spent in the coming years on encryption and other security measures to prevent spying and safeguard private information in response to the new risks presented by global government surveillance programs.
Cybercrime and Business Process Hacking
This document discusses the rise of cybercrime and business process hacking (BPH) as the next wave. BPH involves identifying key business processes, vulnerabilities, and insider relationships in order to steal something of value from an organization. Examples mentioned include pump and dump stock schemes, e-ticketing fraud, carbon credit theft, and targeting vulnerable processes like treasury, logistics and payroll. The document warns that while theft may be the initial goal, undermining trust in commerce could have broader impacts. It concludes by providing contact information for further information on these topics.
Post Apocalyptic Cyber Realism
This document outlines 10 post-apocalyptic cyber scenarios and provides real world examples for each. The scenarios include: 1) widespread DDoS attacks causing communication outages, 2) social media being used to coordinate DDoS protests, 3) an insider stealing customer data, 4) malicious software updates, 5) hardware backdoors enabling theft and network control, 6) an insider abusing privileges for financial gain, 7) erroneous BGP routes blackholing the internet, 8) state-sponsored cyber espionage, 9) weapons-grade malware used for sabotage like Stuxnet, and 10) cyber attacks supporting military strikes
