You are most likely never to see a hospital or law firm headed by someone other than a former lawyer or doctor, but cyber, for some reason, lets anyone lead their units. You might say that great leaders can surround themselves with competent professionals, and their leadership skills will prevail. But history has told a different story, with countless Government breaches and billions of dollars spent on ineffective or duplicative software. How does this affect things? Well, most cyber PM shops are transitory, where civilians and officers come to finish off a career or just sit long enough to get some awards and retire. There is nothing wrong with that, but the chance that someone can come in and recognize dysfunction, ineffectiveness, or, in some cases, even corruption is very small. And then there is the mission; with no relevant cyber or engineering skills or background, how does a leader measure the effectiveness of their OA? Better yet, how do they improve things for the warfighter? Cyber is too important to treat as just an "IT" function. It is the culmination of almost every engineering skill and the ability to break or defend. Our warfighters deserve better.

This Armed Forces Day, Dobbs Defense Solutions gives a heartfelt thanks to the service members of the U.S. Military for their patriotic service to our nation. We celebrate their courage, their sacrifice, and their dedication. As a service-disabled veteran owned business, we are highly aware of the importance of the military in our country and affirm our support for the members of our military, veterans, and their families today and every day. Today, we highlight the U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), which unifies all branches of the U.S. Military to direct cyberspace operations, strengthen the United States Department of Defense's cyberspace capabilities, and integrate and enhance DoD's cyber expertise. USCYBERCOM not only defends our country’s cyber key terrain but also supports ongoing military missions and bolsters our ability to withstand and respond to cyberattacks. In our ever-changing world, cybersecurity is a cornerstone of national security. We salute and celebrate the proud men and women of USCYBERCOM today and always. #thinkd2s #ArmedForcesDay #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #sdvosb #vosb #cybersecurity Erica Dobbs

🏫🧑💻🙌 NATO is collaborating with Louisiana State University to develop lessons for the alliance’s cyber defense training in Europe. The NATO Allied Command Transformation Cyber Coalition is a yearly exercise to amplify and validate the interoperability of cyber warfare teams from 32 member nations. For its latest iteration, the drill will cover simulations of a breach of medical devices that actors leverage to disrupt military operations. The LSU Center for Computation & Technology and LSU College of Engineering will prepare scenarios this fall that will be applied to the exercise. “NATO’s strength lies in collective problem-solving,” LSU Cybersecurity Researcher Elias Bou-Harb, Ph.D., CISSP said. “Our scenario is crafted to promote cooperation, ensuring NATO can effectively respond to cyberattacks regardless of individual members’ expertise and resources.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #nato #louisianastateuniversity #lsu #louisiana #cyber

Military think tank - 'Foundation for Defence of Democracies' - urges U.S. Congress to create a 'United States Cyber Force.' I have often wondered why we never created a cyber branch of the military, especially after the creation of the U.S. Space Force. But, then again, we never created more that a Special Operations Command. https://lnkd.in/g2AuFvnF "In the U.S. military, an officer who had never fired a rifle would never command an infantry unit. Yet officers with no experience behind a keyboard are commanding cyber warfare units. This mismatch stems from the U.S. military’s failure to recruit, train, promote, and retain talented cyber warriors. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines each run their own recruitment, training, and promotion systems instead of having a single pipeline for talent. The result is a shortage of qualified personnel at U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), which has responsibility for both the offensive and defensive aspects of military cyber operations." #cybersecurity
