Large organizations such as the Department of Defense are not exempt from protecting against such known vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s something we\u2019re still struggling with,\u201d Rear Adm. Kathleen Creighton, deputy commander of Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks, Cyber Command\u2019s operational defensive arm, said during an AFCEA DC-hosted lunch Jan. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creighton said her organization fires off roughly one military order a day across the department on a global scale to the effect of: \u201cPatch this, secure this, direct your attention to this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a constant barrage of orders that are coming out of the defensive side,\u201d she said, adding that this is a good thing because they\u2019re actual military orders, \u201cit\u2019s not just like an IT thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with intelligence partners to understand both known and unknown threat vectors, JFHQ-DoDIN can put out mitigation efforts as orders, meaning \u201cit\u2019s not a just bulletin or nice to do when you get a chance. It\u2019s: You will implement this by a date,\u201d Creighton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many inside and outside the DoD have noted the importance of cybersecurity to mission assurance, pointing to senior Pentagon leadership beginning to grapple with these <a href=\"\/TEMP-LINK-TEMP\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" data-original-title=\"\" aria-describedby=\"popover575997\" style=\"\">challenges and make them a top priority, something not seen in prior years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, one of the challenges in mitigating known vulnerabilities currently from JFHQ-DoDIN\u2019s perspective is a lack of situational awareness on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some organizations might say they\u2019re complying, she said, rhetorically asking whether that\u2019s true. Maybe only 70 or 80 percent, which makes them vulnerable. Given that a risk to one organization is a risk to all from a cybersecurity perspective, Creighton explained that she\u2019d like better situational awareness tools across the entire network to ensure organizations are complying \u2014 whether they say they are or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re still working to gain that capability to be able to say: \u2018Yeah, I know you\u2019re only at 80 percent because my system, my tool told me,\u2019 \u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many inside and outside the Pentagon have noted the
