If we continue to address this challenge with what many describe as a fragmented approach, we will not be able to keep the cyber environment and all that is done within it assured and resilient. This challenge is not just about technology; it is about putting in place a comprehensive and effective approach across the government, military and industry, that fully leverages tailored unclassified cyber intelligence tradecraft, approaches and training. Focus Questions
LtGen Robert Schmidle, Jr., USMC Deputy Commander U. S. Cyber Command
9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. THE ROLE OF INTELLIGENCE IN CYBER DOMAIN Looking at how the cyber threat today is approached within the U.S. Intelligence Community and within the Department of Homeland Security, one can see improvements, but also continuing capability gaps. On the classified side, intelligence plays a key role in the cyber battle. Many would argue there are complementary, but perhaps underutilized, assets in the unclassified environment. The challenge is finding ways to identify those capabilities and integrate and fully leverage them. Focus Questions

10:15 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. NATURE OF THE THREAT TO PUBLIC & PRIVATE NETWORKS One hears almost daily about hackers, worms, botnets and the associated loss of network access, intellectual property, and revenue, as well as threats to the computer systems that control critical infrastructure and resources. Some view the cyber sphere as a separate environment; others see it integrally linked to a variety of additional domains. Regardless of how it is defined, the cyber environment is a continuous economic and national security battle-ground. Like any battlefield, there needs to be well understood methodologies to identify the threat, prepare and deploy defenses, and – if necessary – perform battle damage assessment. For this to happen, the public and private sectors working in partnership must position themselves to be proactive. This session will address the nature and magnitude of the cyber threat and what is needed for an effective public/private partnership that can more effectively secure critical networks.

2:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. UNCLASSIFIED CYBER SOURCES AND METHODS Timely and effective Cyber Security demands accessing and analyzing large volumes of primarily unclassified data and seamlessly reporting threat activity to all trusted partners. Currently, the U.S. industrial base, critical infrastructure, and unclassified government and industry networks are continuously under attack without an integrated and comprehensive (classified/unclassified) ability to collect and access key Cyber data sets and leverage optimal technical and analytic sources and methods. Some assert that unclassified intelligence tradecraft could be effectively leveraged across the telecommunications’ networks as a key source of unique cyber analysis and insight that could be disseminated broadly. This session will focus on that assertion and assess its implications and opportunities for unclassified private and public sector networks. Focus Questions

3:45 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. TRAINING THE CYBER INTELLIGENCE WORKFORCE Cyber intelligence is in a very nascent and evolving state. However, neither government nor industry has the luxury of waiting to begin developing, hiring and training a cyber-intelligence workforce. The diversity of the cyber domain set of challenges demands a varied and well defined cadre of cyber technicians, all source analysts and operators. Effectively defining, recruiting and training this labor force is an immediate challenge of the highest priority. Speakers in this session will explore this problem, discussing both the current educational landscape and what is needed.

The DIB is an encouraging initiative for developing a trusted cyber sharing and cooperative partnership between the government and industry. Nonetheless, what still is missing is an ability to deliver 24/7 unclassified cyber intelligence reporting that provides situational awareness (SA) and indications and warning (I&W). This session will explore how unclassified tailored and focused intelligence tradecraft can contribute to cyber SA and I&W, along with how to create a sharing environment for the effective exchange of cyber related information between the private and public sectors.

But the majority of the IC’s involvement has understandably been within the highly classified realm. Ironically, the vast majority of Cyber threats, data sets, technical capabilities and customers reside in the unclassified domain. As with the many Open Source initiatives over the past decade, the IC can be a leader in the development and transition of unclassified methodologies that can enable and support all of the US Government and the private sector.

12:00 noon – 1:30 p.m. LUNCH AND FEATURED SPEAKER CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT When approaching the cyber security problem from a risk management perspective, certain truths emerge – many of them unsettling. Current cyber security approaches, most of them focused on vulnerability mitigation, are costly and may not substantially reduce mission-critical risks. Network penetrations continue at an alarming rate, even as society grows increasingly reliant on computer networks and technology-enabled products. Can current cyber security strategies ever succeed given the existing technological and transnational landscape – without the establishment of a true unclassified Cyber Intelligence capability?
