3. The Threat
Cyber threats = 3rd greatest threat to U.S. (behind Nuclear & WMD)
Inexpensive
Easily developed
Low Risk / High Reward for adversaries
Creation of a Cyber Weapon requires only a few things:
Means: software developers, tools
Vulnerability
Intent
Over 100 countries worldwide have cyber weapons development efforts underway ...
(Excerpts of this slide from FCS Network Threat Brief created by Sam Simms, CECOM)
Cyber weapons can really encompass many things; from malware to system compromises. If a computer is compromised, it can be used for such nefarious activities as botnets.
Cyber espionage is and will be a viable means for our adversaries to gain critical information and technologies that can not only remove our advantage, but advance their capabilities.
UNCLASSIFIED 3

4. Nature of Cyber Warfare
Operate, defend, and attack on same platform as adversaries
Threat characterization and attribution are challenging
Offense and defense have similar features
Industry drives cyberspace technology
Public, high profile successes breed additional cyber actors
Cyberspace: “A global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers.” -DEPSECDEF, May 2008
Cyberspace Operations: “The employment of cyber capabilities where the primary purpose is to achieve objectives in or through cyberspace. Such operations include computer network operations and activities to operate and defend the Global Information Grid.” -CJCS, Sep 2009
(slide from FCC/C10F Command Brief dated 22 Feb 2012)
Cyber espionage can be considered a subset of computer network exploitation; however, it is so damaging and distinct, it deserves to be highlighted in these definitions.
Computer network exploitations not only includes gathering of data found on the networks, but gathering information ABOUT the network, which could facilitate future exploitation efforts or attempts to deny, degrade or destroy our systems and networks.
Computer network attack, to which I just alluded, is any attempt, whether successful or unsuccessful, to deny the use of our networks and systems on which we have become so reliant.
Fundamentally different from traditional warfighting domains...
Low cost... Anonymous....Global -- Transcending International Borders

5. Thinking about The Kill Chain
I & W
Detect ID
Track
Assign
Engage
Assess
Putting it into perspective…..
Kill chain encompasses all IDC communities and through established procedures and information flow, provide decision makers with requisite info at the right time/place to affect decisions, maintain our information superiority advantage in addition to applying kinetic and non-kinetic effects.
Non-kinetics as important as kinetics in the 21st Century 5
UNCLASSIFIED

6. Navy Information Dominance Strategy Map Battlespace Awareness
Strategic Theme: “Maintain Decision Superiority in Combat”
Navy Information Dominance Defined: “The advantage gained from fully integrating information functions and capabilities to optimize decision making and maximize warfighting effects.”
Value to the Navy
Expanded warfighting effects and capabilities to maintain decision superiority in 21st Century combat
Assured C2
Battlespace Awareness
Integrated Fires
Q: How do we create value to the Navy?
Engage & Neutralize Hostiles
Find & Track our Adversaries
Exploit the Environment
Monitor Own Force Status
Value to the Commander
Q: How do we create value to Navy and Joint Commanders?
Network the Force
Understand the Enemy
Shorten the
Kill Chain
Expand Warfighting Options
So, how does the U.S. Navy plan to address these challenges?.....by fully integrating information functions to optimize decision making
This slide depicts the strategy to get there…………..by showing value to the Navy and Commander and describing our capability focus and what our folks bring to the table……
OPNAV is being realigned to create accountability for warfighting and system wholeness by crossing sponsor ownership seams and overlapping assessments. The move is supposed to incentivize total ownership cost by seeking balance, trade space and accountability and also to improve OPNAV management of wholeness in platform areas by instilling rigor and discipline with decision-making pushed down to 2-3 star resource sponsors and having greater transparency and improved derivation of requirements. Executive decision making will be delegated, with N8 as the POM integrator, N1/N2N6/N4 and N9 submitting SPPs and CNO/VCNO providing oversight.
Capabilities
Secure our Networks & the EM Spectrum
Optimize the value of our Information
Integrate Information for Warfare
Enable Kinetic & Non- Kinetic Fires
Q: What is our capability focus?

This depicts steady state (ultimate goal). Most communities will get 2 looks for milestone and 3 looks at command (2nd milestone look and 1st command look are concurrent). Most communities will screen for milestone in year of selection.
Transition to get to this steady state will vary by community:
-IP: O5 MS (slide); O5 CMD (PYGs 9-12); O6 MS (slide); O6 CMD (PYGs 9-12)
-IW: O5 MS (PYGs 10-13); O5 CMD (slide); O6 CMD (slide)

14. The Future Way Ahead
Align Validated Fleet Work by Designator thru the following steps.
NAVMAC Study to identify and validate IDC work across the IDC.
Incorporate the Zero Based Review for CYBER.
IDC Organizational Development Afloat Concept/ Experimentation.
Single IDC Competitive Category (FITREPS).
Common Administrative Screen Boards.
Single Flag IDC Statutory Board (O7 & O8)
Lots of dialog between Millington and N2N6. Monthly phonecons with VADM Card. CNO Exec Board 19 Mar (contributed to brief). IDC Flag Community Leader meeting (briefed way ahead on board). Lots of initiatives out of these events:
To meet the desire align IDC fleet work by we must first Identity IDC work completed by Non 18xx designators (est approx 400 billets). Additionally, we may experiment with Afloat Manning and other organizational constructs (IWC on CSG staffs). Since the IDC is supported thru numerous BSO’s we will work with each community to identify areas where is makes the most sense to conduct these experiments.
**Move to URL – down the road – requires continued study to see if this is the right move
