Book Description
As the Department of Defense executes its mission in its newest warfare domain, cyberspace, some have questioned its choices with regard to command and control of its cyber forces. This book examines historical cases of new warfare domains and how the Department of Defense structured the command and control elements of its forces dedicated to the air and space domains. It explores the current cyber command and control construct, and looks at two others that would likely be employed if a change in command and control were to occur. Those examined include a new functional combatant command focused on cyber, similar to U.S. Special Operations Command, and a stand-alone U.S. Cyber Force. This book considers the benefits and drawbacks of each, and seeks to serve as an informative tool should policymakers determine a new command and control model is necessary for cyber forces.

Book Description
"As a rising global competitor, the People’s Republic of China presents many challenges to the United States. Under the Department of Defense (DoD), the U.S. military tasks its Indo- Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) with protecting and defending U.S. interests in the Asia- Pacific area of responsibility, and, particularly, with addressing regional threats that stem from the Chinese Communist Party. One of the more prominent modern issues regards China’s pursuit of superior cyber capabilities in support of its quest for world dominance by the year 2049. Therefore, one would imagine that USINDOPACOM must have a cyber component command to combat Chinese aggression in the space. However, neither USINDOPACOM nor any other geographic combatant command has a cyber functional component command – nor should they. While the nature of cyberspace, with its implications for command of offensive operations therein, validates the need for an official command of cyber functions, it further requires command outside and above the authority of the geographic combatant command (GCC). Cyber functional command structure ought to fulfill the appropriate level of authority while still providing offensive cyberspace operations capability to GCCs, as United States Cyber Command currently does."--Abstract.

Book Description
The emerging Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Mission Force includes forces from all military services that may reflect artifacts in their organization, training, and operation that are influenced by service cultures. Such diversity offers challenges and opportunities for senior leaders and policymakers entrusted with creating a joint force that can operate professionally in and through cyberspace. This monograph examines how the U.S. Army may benefit by adopting processes and practices from other service cyberspace forces to the operations of Army Cyber Command. It focuses on the central question: "What is the context in which different military services approach cyberspace component operations internally as well as with the DoD?" To address this question, the study is divided into four major sections: - First, the monograph provides a background of the mission and structure of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and the tenets of current joint cyberspace operations doctrine. - Second, it explores the mission, organization, training, and equipping of each of the four service cyberspace components as well as the Coast Guard contributions. - Third, it analyzes how the service components support the USCYBERCOM mission as well as common trends and service culture influences among their operations. - Fourth, the author provides recommendations for DoD and Army leaders to consider for the enhancement of joint and service cyberspace operations.

Book Description
With the establishment of United States Cyber Command, the United States dramatically raised the profile of cyberspace operations as a method of warfare, prompting other nations to follow suit and establish their own cyber operations units. As more and more states create such units, it is appropriate to examine the international law implications for how cyber operations units should be organized to conduct operations, given the unique nature of cyberspace as an operating domain. This article examines, through the prism of U.S. Department of Defense practices, three areas of the law of armed conflict with implications for the organization and execution of cyberspace operations. First, the issue of reviewing cyberspace weapons for compliance with the laws of armed conflict is examined by comparing and contrasting the practices of the services that comprise the United States armed forces. Second, the article addresses issues raised by the requirement to take precautions against the effects of attacks, specifically, the feasibility of clearly separating military objects and objectives from civilian objects in cyberspace. Finally, the article extends the discussion of precautions against the effect of cyber attacks to a State's conduct of its own cyber attacks, examining principles implicit in the interaction between a number of customary rules within the laws of armed conflict to arrive at conclusions as to how States should organize and prepare for conducting cyber attacks.

Book Description
The U.S. faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, such as the 2019 SolarWinds security breach. To mitigate these threats, DOD is continually developing new software- based capabilities. Cyber Command created the JCWA in 2019 to address these needs and synchronize cyber warfighting programs across DOD. The JCWA includes a range of software-enabled systems, sensors, and tools that the Army and Air Force are procuring for Cyber Command. In November 2020, GAO reported shortfalls in the JCWA governance structure and interoperability goals and recommended that Cyber Command define roles and responsibilities for overseeing the JCWA programs and develop such goals. This report examines Cyber Command's progress in defining JCWA roles, responsibilities, and interoperability goals; and efforts to assess the JCWA acquisitions using outcome-based metrics. To conduct this work, GAO obtained and reviewed relevant documents and met with DOD officials. GAO is recommending that Cyber Command develop outcome-based metrics to inform future Value Assessments.

Book Description
Research Methods for Cyber Security teaches scientific methods for generating impactful knowledge, validating theories, and adding critical rigor to the cyber security field. This book shows how to develop a research plan, beginning by starting research with a question, then offers an introduction to the broad range of useful research methods for cyber security research: observational, mathematical, experimental, and applied. Each research method chapter concludes with recommended outlines and suggested templates for submission to peer reviewed venues. This book concludes with information on cross-cutting issues within cyber security research. Cyber security research contends with numerous unique issues, such as an extremely fast environment evolution, adversarial behavior, and the merging of natural and social science phenomena. Research Methods for Cyber Security addresses these concerns and much more by teaching readers not only the process of science in the context of cyber security research, but providing assistance in execution of research as well. Presents research methods from a cyber security science perspective Catalyzes the rigorous research necessary to propel the cyber security field forward Provides a guided method selection for the type of research being conducted, presented in the context of real-world usage
