The defensive side, however, is working to put together procedures and tactics for protecting DoD networks and weapon systems on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a milestone is on the horizon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command\u2019s defensive operational arm \u2013 Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks, or JFHQ-DoDIN, which provides global defense, command and control and synchronization of the DoDIN \u2013 is slated to reach full operational capability this month, its deputy commander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve submitted our paperwork, we\u2019re just waiting for Cyber Command\u2019s approval,\u201d Rear Adm. Kathleen Creighton said during a panel discussion at an AFCEA DC hosted lunch Jan. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This designation is \u201ca recognition that we\u2019re able to perform the basic tasks that we\u2019re laid out to perform as the Joint Force Headquarters,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to show through exercises and other world events that we\u2019ve been able to perform our mission of secure, operate and defend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As JFHQ-DoDIN celebrates its third anniversary, Creighton said leaders there are moving from a heavy contractor footprint to a more balanced mix of government and contractor. Additionally, they\u2019re taking all the steps new organizations take. This includes the development of a campaign plan. She explained to Fifth Domain following the panel that this is a strategic, high level five-year plan for how they perform their secure, operate and defend the DoDIN in support of CYBERCOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This plan follows the approval of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/2016\/09\/30\/cybercom-approves-network-defense-plan\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">another strategic document approved by Cyber Command last year serving<\/a> as \u201cthe \u201cfirst planning effort to fully address JFHQ-DODIN\u2019s mission to secure, operate, and defend the DoDIN.\u201d Prior to that point, officials maintained when different incidents have occurred across the DoDIN, DoD and CYBERCOM was essentially playing whack-a-mole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, Creighton noted that leaders there are trying to mature the tactics, doctrine and employment of their defensive forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When cyber protection teams first started coming online \u2013 the defensive cyber mission force teams that act as quick reaction forces, of which JFHQ-DoDIN has six \u2013 often times \u201cwho ever raised their hand\u201d received a CPT to put on some terrain because they were just starting out and just developing their capabilities, Creighton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/cybercom\/2017\/11\/14\/4-priorities-for-dods-cyber-defense-arm\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">said at an event in November<\/a>. \u201cNow we recognize high demand, low density force needs to be apportioned like that, so we\u2019re maturing that process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry officials have said developing these tactics is likely more acute on the defensive side as opposed to the offensive side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creighton told Fifth Domain defensive doctrine and tactics are being worked as a community from Cyber Command down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you grow forces by service they\u2019re going to be unique and that\u2019s probably good in some ways because you get best of breed, you develop areas you\u2019re strong in. So we\u2019re able to take advantage of that, because we have all the flavors of CPTs,\u201d she said, drawing reference to the fact each of the four services provide CPTs to the joint force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re able to create that dream team by being able to task organize and use best of breed,\u201d she added. \u201cI think any kind of force you just build that\u2019s just reaching FOC, you\u2019re going to continue to mature, you\u2019re going to, the force that we have today is probably going to look a lot different in five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Threat intelligence<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creighton, in her limited public appearances <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/2017\/08\/29\/norton-takes-over-as-disa-no-2\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">since becoming the deputy commander in August,<\/a> has stressed the importance and gap in intelligence on the defensive cyber side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we\u2019re becoming FOC, we really recognize that the intel piece on the defense side is not where it is on the offensive side,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many, including the commander of JFHQ-DoDIN, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/disa-vision-guide\/2017\/06\/19\/cyber-protection-teams-need-more-intelligence-say-officials\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">have noted in the past the need for greater intelligence in cyber defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we realized is we need a lot more intelligence support, so we need more intelligence people, so we\u2019re figuring out what kind of people we need,\u201d Lt. Gen. Alan Lynn, who retires early next month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/disa-vision-guide\/2017\/06\/15\/dod-cyber-defense-arm-establishes-intel-ops-fusion-cell\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">has said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intelligence support to cyber defense is difficult, Marlene Kovacic, a cyberspace branch senior intelligence analyst at Central Command and defensive cyber operations team lead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/dodiis\/2017\/08\/16\/defensive-cyber-teams-take-on-more-missions-under-new-model\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">said over the summer<\/a>.
