Recent events involving the U.S. Navy illustrate the critical need for secure networks. On the Littoral Combat Ship Manchester, senior enlisted leaders installed unauthorized Wi-Fi networks to improve morale, inadvertently creating a significant security breach. Read how solutions like LOCH Technologies’ AirShield could have detected these rogue networks, protecting the ship’s operations and crew safety: https://hubs.la/Q02QPQBg0 #Cybersecurity #WirelessSecurity #AirspaceDefense #NetworkSecurity #NavalOperations #MilitarySecurity #NavalCyberSecurity #ShipSecurity #DefenseTechnology

Data is key to military asset security. Beyond physical protection, a multi-layered approach is essential, including information security, intelligence, and human intervention. We can protect our military assets and ensure national security by addressing the issues mentioned below. https://lnkd.in/gBuF5esh #militarysecurity #cybersecurity #datasecurity #surveillance #technology

Chinese hackers infect Dutch military network with malware A Chinese cyber-espionage group breached the Dutch Ministry of Defence last year and deployed malware on compromised devices. The Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) of the Netherlands stated that despite backdooring the hacked systems, the damage from the breach was limited because the victim network was segmented from the wider MOD networks.  Read More : https://lnkd.in/eGs5R6i2 #malware #china #netherlands #dutchministry #cyberespionage #military #coathanger #fortigate #mivd #chinesehackers #cybersecurity #whizsecurity #infosecurity #hacking #cybersafe #cybersafenews

I agree with Morgan Luttrell ‘s article in one of the latest releases by C4ISRNET. However, I believe many of the senior leaders and planners taking this subject on remain too focused on “cyber” as a military force. My 30+ years in military and federal service (10 within the CYBERCOM community) bring me to the conclusion that we need a U.S. Information Warfare Command at a minimum and at the most an Info Warfare Service. We’ve made monumental strides in honing our full-spectrum cyber prowess. So, too, the potential is great to organically employ other OIE capabilities at scale such as MISO, cyber-enabled DDAs, EW, and space-enabled capabilities. Yet, all those “others” remain under disparate OSD-level offices, Services, combatant commands, and forces. In so many ways this goes contrary to the intent in the Strategy for Operations in the Information Environment (SOIE) and Joint Pub 3-04, Information in Joint Operations. If the DoD is truly seeking to optimize command and control through unity of command and unity of effort, then we mustn’t be myopic in our thinking or timid in our approach to designing, developing, and employing information forces. It’s Information as an element of national power employed primarily under Title 10 authorities that the Department and the nation need most. I’ve been perplexed for almost a decade as to why so many senior military leaders, planners, and doctrine writers haven’t thought collectively and holistically on how to set conditions for the future fight. Our adversaries do.

I need to help a friend who discovered that a unit at Camp Lejeune plans to deploy to the CENTCOM AO, intending to use unauthorized systems for critical geo-location tasks in military operations. They also aim to employ off-the-shelf Samsung devices, connecting them directly to the DoD Information Network and circumventing firewall protections. Despite my friend's repeated reports to the command and an IG complaint, the unit continues with their plans. How can my friend effectively communicate the gravity of these cybersecurity issues to the unit, particularly the potential risks and the extensive vulnerability they could introduce to the entire DoD network? Asking for a friend. #Cybersecurityineptunits #CyberSecurity #MilitaryTech #InfoSec #CyberDefense #DoDSecurity #SecureCommunications #OperationalSecurity #TechEthics #DigitalDefense #responsibleinnovation
