This is the final report of a study commissioned by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) through the Defence Human Capability Science and Technology Centre (DHCSTC) framework. The study was conducted over a period of six weeks and examines the academic debate pertaining to the moral landscape of conflict that spans different military domains (air, maritime, land, space, cyber). The investigation which is the subject of this report was commissioned by the Programme and Delivery Directorate of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).

This project comprised two main research and development phases. The first phase of the project entailed a requirements analysis and architecture-design effort. For further details on this phase, please refer to the first study report. The second phase of the project entailed the development of a proof-of-concept toolbox. This report presents the proof-of-concept toolbox.

This report documents research conducted as part of the project “Building a Strategy for Cyber Support to Corps and Below.” RAND Arroyo Center was asked by U.S. Army Cyber Command’s G35 office to develop and document an Army strategy for providing cyber sup- port to corps and below (CSCB) units that describes how the Army should use its available resources to achieve mission objectives.

In this report, they review the state of cyber attribution and they consider alternative mechanisms for producing standardized and transparent attribution that may overcome concerns about credibility. In particular, this exploratory work considers the value of an indepen- dent, global organization whose mission consists of investigating and publicly attributing major cyber attacks.

The emerging field of cybersecurity economics could benefit from better data, better under- standing, and better methods for using resources wisely, not only to protect critical products and services but also to provide assurances that software will work as expected. This research brief presents findings that address these key cybersecurity concerns, perceptions of the importance of cybersecurity, and considerations for cybersecurity invest- ment decisions. In particular, it suggests that companies, the government, and other organizations can help improve our under- standing of cybersecurity economics by moni- toring cybersecurity incidents and responses, soliciting and using standard terminology and measures, and sharing data whenever possible.

This edition of Spotlight features a selection of work carried out in 2017 by the Rand Corporation, to help meet new and evolving challenges. They have completed several studies that examine the implications of Brexit for the UK, the EU, and beyond. They have examined the potential of increasingly advanced technology, including in the areas of cybersecurity and digital transactions. And they have evaluated and recommended improvements to be made along the path to better systems in health, policing and education.

This report documents research conducted as part of a study entitled “Managing and Developing Reserve Component Capabilities in Sup- port of the Army’s Cyber Force.” The primary purpose of the study was to conduct initial research on how to train, manage, and develop the Army’s cyber force, with a specific focus on the Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve.

This RAND Perspective suggests that technological develop- ments and social dynamics are working in tandem to shift society into hyperdrive, which can usher in unprecedented security concerns. Despite the potential for increased speed as 2040 nears, the authors assert that this phase of acceleration is neither uniform nor determin- istic. Without knowing the future, we can still have the foresight to prepare for security in an age of increasing speed and find value in having collaborative discussions about the role of speed as a catalyst within future global risk and security.
