SCHOOL THESIS

Leverages USCYBERCOM’s global cyberspace visibility, technical
infrastructure, and cyberspace expertise to accomplish an official cyber attack
assessment.
Leverages NORAD’s visibility on current air defense operations and
aerospace/maritime warning expertise to ascertain any effects on NORAD operations.
4. Disadvantages and Proposed Solutions
Some classified cyberspace threat information and technical TTPs are not
currently releasable to Canadian personnel. (Change DOD classification guidance to
allow Canadians full access to cyberspace threat information and technical TTPs.)
NORAD regional headquarters currently must drop off threat conferences
during classified discussions. (Change DOD conference procedures to allow NORAD
regional headquarters to remain on cyber event conferences during classified
discussions.)
Modifies existing conference checklist procedures. (Modify cyberspace
conference checklists to reflect joint CDRUSCYBERCOM/CDRNORAD cyber attack
assessment.)
Requires training NORAD General Officers for new cyber attack
assessment coordination responsibility.(Build new training program for NORAD General
Officer joint cyber attack assessment responsibility.)
Changes existing relationships with USCYBERCOM. (Negotiate new
command arrangements agreement between NORAD and USCYBERCOM.)
Requires negotiating new cyberspace defense and response policies
between the U.S. and Canada. (Negotiate new cyberspace defense and response policies
between the U.S. and Canada, if required.)
Requires changing the NORAD Agreement and/or Terms of References.
(Negotiate change to NORAD Agreement and/or Terms of Reference, if required.)
