Cognitive Challenges

In 2009, the Department of Defense established U.S. Cyber Command to centralize and advocate for joint cyberspace operations. By 2018, the Cyber Mission Force (CMF) will consist of 6100 personnel in 133 teams that have offensive or defensive responsibilities. Although cybersecurity has been maturing for the better part of thirty years, there are important differences between cybersecurity and cyberspace operations. Cybersecurity, for instance, is focused on maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Information Technology (IT) networks. Cyberspace operations, on the other hand, are threat oriented and require enterprise-scale coordination. Many cyberspace tools are built by and for networking experts that have full privileges, access and responsibility for their networks. Such conditions rarely exist for cyberspace operations and intelligence teams. This panel will introduce the variety of roles, responsibilities and cognitive challenges in the CMF. Panelists will reserve significant time for Q&A to inform the design of future systems.
