But he also said that its effectiveness could be evaluated by a decrease in the amount of high-profile attacks that occurred over the next three to five years, such as WannaCry, NotPetya and Russian election interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s harder to measure with high confidence just because it\u2019s harder to measure a negative, it\u2019s hard to measure what they would\u2019ve done otherwise,\u201d Inglis said on a webinar hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. \u201cBut that being said, we need to actually work hard to try to measure both of those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link smg-interstitial-link--fallback wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/11\/11\/two-years-in-how-has-a-new-strategy-changed-cyber-operations\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__fallback-link\">Two years in, how has a new strategy changed cyber operations?<\/a><\/aside>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fanning said private-sector companies like Southern Company may have the data the government needs to measure the success. For example, he said that Southern Company\u2019s cybersecurity professionals have the data indicating cyberattacks on the company\u2019s networks and where they are originating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose are all exceedingly valuable data points,\u201d Fanning said. \u201cI think this is something that we have to develop. It\u2019s going to be hard and unclear at first but creating standards here going to be really important in our ability to measure our own offense and defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government also needs data to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pentagon\u2019s defend forward strategy. But according to Mark Montgomery, executive director of the commission, the current data DoD provides isn\u2019t adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs someone who received those reports in Congress, I thought they were sufficiently obfuscated to be of little value in understanding how defend forward, persistent engagement was working,\u201d said Montgomery, who worked as policy director on the Senate Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Where the data would go<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another solution to the data problem is the creation of the Bureau of Cyber Statistics, a recommendation commissioners put in their final report. The commission formally made several cyber policy recommendations in a March 11 report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get this information,\u201d Montgomery said. \u201cJust like you can\u2019t imagine certain portions of the economy working without the information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics or some of the commodities reports we do, we need this Bureau of Cyber Statistics to have an understanding of what\u2019s happening in the cyber ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the final report, the bureau should be housed in the Department of Commerce and would be the go-to agency for collecting, processing, analyzing and disseminating \u201cessential statistical data on cybersecurity, cyber incidents, and the cyber ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key beneficiaries of the statistical bureau would be the cyber insurance industry, which would have a centralized authority for data it can use to assess risk. The data would also help inform the broader business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think business understands that the more data you have to analyze in the raw and make competent decisions against, the better off you\u2019re going to be,\u201d Montgomery said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business and government are suffering from the
