This project sought to draw lessons from the efforts of others (both nation-state and nonstate actors) in and through the IE for future U.S. Army force planning and investment. These case studies of other forces can help the Army (1) identify capabilities and practices that it should consider adopting and (2) identify adversary capabilities and practices that it must be prepared to counter in future operations in and through the IE.

This report takes a look at ATP28 a recognized state sponsored threat actor operating out of Russia.

This monthly threat report takes a look at the month of March 2018. Specifically, it looks at a Cisco VULN, the strength of APT37 a North Korean APT, and where a Chines APT backdoor was found.

In December 2016, RAND and the National Security College at The Australian National University partnered to facilitate a cyber security–focused 360o Discovery Exercise in Canberra. The exercise used plausible scenarios to explore the chal- lenges Australia faces in securing cyberspace by placing pres- sure on government authorities, industry capabilities, users’ tolerance for malicious cyber activity, and the ability to develop interdisciplinary solutions to pressing cyber security challenges. The scenarios considered the security of the Internet of Things and intellectual property theft against a backdrop of evolving international norms of behaviour in cyberspace.

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 monthly threat report takes a look at the month of April 2018. Specifically it looks at Ransomware and Cryptojacking battling for top threat spot, Russia Nation-State targeting network infrastructure, and supply chain attacks.

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 Rise of Nation State Attacks, sponsored by CounterTack | MCSI and conducted by Ponemon Institute, reveals organizations’ lack of readiness to respond to nation state attacks due to an uncertainty as to what a nation state attack is and how to identify the key characteristics, methods and motives of these attacks that originate with foreign governments.

This research develops a causal model, relating different cyber crime types to their impact on the UK economy. The model provides a simple framework to assess each type of cyber crime for its various impacts on citizens, businesses and the Government.
