Department of Defense Deputy Secretary of State William Lynn said that 24,000 cases were taken in March from military contractor systems. Data leakage is more common in the military complex. The good news? The DoD has a plan to raise its defenses.
Lynn did not give details on the attack or the contractor. Published Thursday DoD's strategy to use in cyberspace.
The strategy boils down to:
* Treating cyberspace as an area to organize, train and equip the military.
* Implementation of the new concepts of operation for the defense to protect military systems.
* Partner with departments and the private sector.
* Work with allies to improve security.
* Leverage U.S. technical skill and innovation.
Lynn, who also spoke extensively on cyber security and cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, said that the intrusions are relatively common and that the stolen data ranges from the mundane to the Joint Strike fighter designs.
Here's what Lynn said in context:
Critical infrastructure of the army depends also includes private companies that build equipment and technology that we use. Their network could provide valuable information on our weapons systems and capabilities. The theft of design data and technical information within these networks, undermining the technological edge we have on potential adversaries.
This is a major concern in the past ten years, terabytes of data have been extracted by foreign intruders corporate networks of defense companies. In an intrusion that in March alone, 24,000 cases were taken.
When you look at all intrusions in recent years, some of the stolen data is secular, such as specifications for small pieces of tanks, planes and submarines. But a lot of it relates to our most vulnerable, including air avionics, surveillance technologies, satellite communication systems and network security protocols. Cyber abuse is committed against a broad overlap in the defense industry, a route crucial for military equipment, ranging from missile-tracking and satellite navigation devices is a UAV and the Joint Strike Fighter.
Cons: the measures have not stopped the flow of sensitive information. We must do more to protect our digital store design innovation.
The biggest question: How DoD design systems that are at the heart of course, when the Pentagon is more related to private contractors?
At this point, Lynn said, DoD and DHS has established a pilot program to share classified information to better protect networks. This "Industrial Data Base" is a pilot effort to share information that revolves around the government, entrepreneurs and Internet service providers. The general theme: give information for businesses and engineers who know how to defend a network.
Lynn said that the government "did not follow-up, arrest or the rescue of private communications". In contrast, groups share the intelligence of a threat so that companies can defend themselves. The pilot is voluntary.
Will it succeed? Lynn said that preliminary results are promising. "Although just beginning to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot, who has already made the intrusion of some members of the industry in question. And through the exchange of information helps the driver not only stopped the intrusion. Also we learned more about the diversity of techniques used in the commission, "said Lynn.
The government and private sector cooperation in security is a theme that was also mentioned by DHS, Michael Chertoff, former head during a speech in New York. Chertoff urged the public-private cooperation to defend against the likes of pirate groups like Anonymous.
One thing is clear the U.S. military complex needs to strengthen its network security. In the operational strategy of the DoD cyberspace, the military is very clear about how much it depends on cyberspace. From the report:
Along with other U.S. Government, Department of Defense (DoD), depends on the work in cyberspace. It 'difficult to exaggerate this dependence, the DoD manages more than 15,000 networks, and seven million of computer equipment in hundreds of plants in dozens of countries around the world. DoD to use cyberspace to its military, intelligence and operations, including movement of personnel and materials as well as command and control of the entire spectrum of military operations.
Which of the following phases, the DoD said to conclude the following with respect to its computer defenses:
* Improved the "best cyber hygiene".
* A focus on internal threats through the communication of effective control and accountability and information management.
* Enable "active defense capability computing" to prevent intrusion.
* To develop new network architectures.
