Fundamentals of cyber third party – for example, a commercial company or other government department. c. Far. The far comprises networks and systems that, if influenced, will prove critical to the operation or campaign. Such systems will be predominately outside friendly forces control or assurance and are likely to be owned by third parties. 8 1.19. There are a number of themes which emerge when we consider the cyber environment. Some of these include the following. a. The cyber operating environment is largely global, but vulnerable. b. Civilian and military information infrastructures, whether national, coalition or international, co-exist and overlap, posing problems for managing security in a network-enabled Defence capability. c. A high baseline for cyber security is required which has implications for education and training, timeliness of system maintenance and intelligence (cyber situational awareness). d. The threat in, and through, cyberspace is largely, but not exclusively, against the exploitation, manipulation and theft of information held across the Defence enterprise (this includes close collaborative defence of its civilian procurement, logistics and other support contractors 9 ). 8 Systems owned by third parties are more vulnerable as they could be influenced by our adversaries. 9 The likely interdependencies of critical information infrastructures mean that successful attacks may not only come from unexpected quarters, but also have unexpected impacts. 10 Cyber Primer (2nd Edition)
Mainstreaming, competencies, understanding and skills 1.20. Mainstreaming. All Defence personnel are expected to operate effectively and securely in cyberspace, using and exploiting information and information systems and working to counter potential threats. Cyber’s pervasive and ubiquitous nature means Defence must consider the full range of cyber capabilities and requirements across the Defence Lines of Development. This requires awareness, education, 10 individual and collective training, exercises and an understanding of risk management in cyberspace. Fundamentals of cyber 1.21. Competencies. Cyber operations require well-educated and trained professionals with relevant capability and capacity, as well as specialist technical and tactical expertise for success. Additionally, personnel who understand human factors will have an important role. The Ministry of Defence’s (MOD’s) Cyber Skills Functional Competence Framework addresses these needs through the operational and planning/policy competencies relevant to military cyber operations. Competency is the combination of knowledge, skills and experience. The competency levels are: • awareness; • practitioner; • senior practitioner; and • expert. 1.22. Understanding. Defence cyber operations staff need a sound understanding of the commander’s intent and must be able to rapidly assess the impact of their decisions or recommendations. They should, however, be aware that: • decisions may often need to be made without the opportunity for referral upwards for guidance; and 10 For example, the Defence Information Management Passport – information matters and the cyber awareness e-learning modules aimed at all personnel and the cyber operational awareness programme, which includes the cyber operations awareness core course (COACC) and the cyber operations enhanced course (COAEC) aimed at personnel in operational planning roles and key staff appointments.
