Gen. Stephen Hager, deputy commander of operations for the Cyber National Mission Force, said during an appearance at the CyCon U.S. conference in Washington Nov. 15. \u201cI know what to look for as a military person but I don\u2019t necessarily know what the financial institutions think are important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach allows Cyber Command to see if an adversary is developing tactics or research that could target a bank or financial transaction, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe now have some intelligence that we then would share with our interagency partners and then they would pass it to the [Information Sharing and Analysis Center] to the critical infrastructure folks that deal with that,\u201d Hager added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Cyber Command is receiving anonymized data from the Financial Systemic Analysis and Resilience Center through the Department of Homeland Security and \u201cwe\u2019ve done some things based on the information we\u2019ve got from them,\u201d Hager said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Cyber Command provides any intelligence gathered back through formal chains such as DHS, the Department of the Treasury and the Information Sharing and Analysis Center to ensure each stakeholder understands the potential threats and can mitigate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoD only has authority to act within its networks and is limited in what networks it can operate in domestically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/congress\/capitol-hill\/2017\/10\/19\/dod-says-it-shouldnt-protect-homeland-from-cyberthreats-mccain-disagrees\/\" target=_blank>much to the dismay of some in Congress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command\u2019s previous head noted that operating outside networks was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2018\/04\/12\/cyber-command-has-a-role-but-pentagon-leaders-struggle-to-define-it\/\" target=_blank>something the department should have a serious conversation about<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you think about the Department of Defense, we spend a lot of time talking about the [Department of Defense Information Network] and defense of the DoDIN and really that\u2019s because where our authorities lie.\u201d But, Hager added, \u201cas a taxpayer, I don\u2019t really want the Department of Defense to just defend its military access, I want it to defend my nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recently released DoD cyber strategy points to defending U.S. critical infrastructure as a key pillar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyber Command is using its unique capabilities to provide important insights to civilian agencies and the private
