• Stand up NETCOM Regions with the TIM RD– Same time– Same places

• Stand up NETCOM FWD and Rear– Incorporate new missions– Reorganize staff

• Continue to execute/implement new enterprise initiative– Gain visibility on health and security of all Army networks.– Issue Enterprise Systems Management CONOPS– Implement Active Directory/Exchange 2000 across the

enterprise– Establish networthiness process for additions to the

infostructure– Develop Service Level Agreements for common user services

across the Enterprise

Infostructure Operations – Objective State• Enable universal (and secure) access to authorized infostructureservices to all Army customers within the Army infostructure – PKIenables single sign-on “plug & play” capability• Accurately display a total and integrated Situation Awarenessof the AEI

• Predict impacts on the AEI of new/changed systems and operational contingencies• Redirect and reallocate AEI resources in near real-time to supportArmy response to crisis or unplanned event anywhere within theArmy infostructure Area of Operations (AOR)• Provide a consistent, robust, base-level of infostructure services to all authorized Army customers at the least cost feasible withinArmy operational constraints

• Provide additional (above base level) infostructure services to Armycustomers on a reimbursable basis

• Perform continuing and non-intrusive technology insertion based on improving service levels or reducing cost of providing current base-level services

Why NETOPS is Critical!

• NETOPS is a key enabler ensuring the proper operation and protection of the Information Environment (IE) supporting the warfighter.

• The Information Environment is a center of gravity for US Military Operations.

• The IE is a prime target of Asymmetric Warfare.

Asymmetrical Warfare and NETOPS

• Defeated: Maginot Line, Berlin Wall, US Borders (and the INS), and the National Transportation System on 9/11

• Not (yet) Defeated: The Al Queda and The Drug Trade

• Reason: Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Offensive and Defensive actions

• Basic Questions to Consider: • Do we treat our networks Symmetrically or Asymmetrically?• Does our enemy treat cyber warfare Symmetrically or

Asymmetrically?• If the enemy uses Asymmetric Offenses, can our Symmetric

Defense defeat the enemy?

Friendly Asymmetrical NETOPS Warfare• Facts:

• The networks (military and civilian) are battlefields TODAY.• Our greatest strength (Information Superiority) can also be our greatest weakness.• DoD currently has a Symmetrical “Defense in Depth” strategy for our networks.• We depend on COTS products (created by US and foreign nationals) in our defense. • Skilled people are at the heart of our success.• Asymmetric NETOPS threats are a reality each day.• Cultural, legal and doctrinal barriers inhibit our NETOPS.

• Assumption: To battle the Asymmetrical threat to our infostructure, we must think• in terms of asymmetrical defenses; remember – the best defense is a good offense.

Enemy Asymmetrical NETOPS Warfare• The Threat:

• Knows that we are dependent on military and commercial networks during peace and war.

• Will adjust to focus on where we are least defended. • Attacks just under our detection thresholds, with more powerful

tools and techniques.

• Enemy Cyber-Attack: High payoffs, little expenditure. Examples: Solar Sunrise, Moonlight Maze, etc.Melissa Virus - $80 million SirCam - $1.15 billionNimda – $635 million Love Bug - $8.75 billionCodeRed – $2.62 billion

Pentagon 9/11 Repairs - $700 million

Possible Friendly Asymmetrical Warfare NETOPS Mitigating Solutions

• TLA-Redesign • Variable reactions to keep the enemy guessing • Coordinated NETOPS between military, government, private,

and allies / coalitions• Decrease reliance on the commercial world’s infostructure• Develop / resource contingency capabilities• Use of deception techniques (“honey pots”)• Recon of the Enemy “AO” BEFORE they attack• Develop and legalize the use of asymmetrical offensive

capabilities• Don’t treat our infostructure like a business – treat it like a

weapon system.

Friendly Asymmetrical NETOPS Warfare Improvements

• Improved Event Correlation Across Data Sources

• ACERT and ASC LNO Exchanges

• Enhanced Information Dissemination Management (IDM):- NETOPS COP at theater and global levels: provides

relevant reports, status, directives, guidance, queries, and IA information.

- Vertical and horizontal information sharing

• Standup of NETCOM
