U.S. officials recently detailed an offensive cyber operation undertaken by U.S. Cyber Command to The Washington Post, revealing how the military blocked Internet access to St. Petersburg’s Internet Research Agency on the day of the U.S. midterm elections last year.
“The operation marked the first muscle-flexing by U.S. Cyber Command, with Intelligence from the National Security Agency, under new authorities it was granted by President Trump and Congress last year to bolster offensive capabilities,” writes the Post’s Ellen Nakashima.
Military offensive cyber operations were just one of the important global issues that we discussed recently with Cipher Brief Expert Dr. James Miller, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2012-2014.
In a Cipher Brief Exclusive, we asked Dr. Miller to outline his biggest concerns when it comes to future global cyber challenges. Dr. Miller will also be a guest speaker at the International Conference on Cyber Engagement, April 23, hosted by Catherine Lotrionte and the Atlantic Council.
