DoD Talks Up Plans to Deploy Cybercommandos: "'Cyber 3.0' is the name of the new strategy described by U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn at the RSA security conference Tuesday. It's a five-part plan that will involve equipping military networks with active defenses, ensuring civilian networks are adequately protected, and marshaling the nation's technological and human resources to maintain its status in cyberspace.
The United States will leverage IT know-how among members of the National Guard and the nation's military reserves by increasing the number of units that have dedicated cybermissions, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn announced Tuesday.
Government efforts alone can't fend off cyberattackers, and stronger cooperation with the private sector is crucial, said Lynn, who was speaking at the RSA 2011 security conference in San Francisco.
To that end, the Department of Defense is strengthening ties with the private sector. This includes extending cybersecurity to selected networks, closer cooperation with telecommunications carriers and expansion of a program in which cybersecurity personnel are swapped between the government and the cybersecurity industry."
