Kathleen Creighton, deputy commander of Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks, Cyber Command\u2019s operational defensive arm charged with defending the global network, said. \u201c[Defense has] been a little bit slower to mature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s been an understanding across the board within the last two years that offense and defense have to work together, said Creighton, speaking at an event hosted by Defense Systems Nov. 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s now much more teaming across the mission sets, with the best defenders being those who have worked in offensive and the best offensive folks are those who understand the defense. All members of Cyber Command\u2019s cyber mission force \u2015 the 6,200 person, 133 team cyber maneuver force that conducts offense, defense and intelligence\/support \u2015 are trained to the same joint standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps each team member better understand all aspects of the cyber mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2017\/09\/14\/for-dod-cyber-warriors-offense-and-defense-is-interchangeable\/\" title=\"\" data-original-title=\"\"><i>For DoD cyber warriors, offense and defense is interchangeable<\/i><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the cyber mission force was first stood up, Creighton said, the offense was better postured for intelligence in terms of identifying who the threat actors are. However, defensive teams require requisite intelligence to better inform their defensive missions, to understand what actors they might be facing and what their patterns inside the network might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among several intelligence fusion cells stood up within JFHQ-DoDIN, one that was recently established sought to create better coordination for prioritizing defensive resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/disa-vision-guide\/2017\/06\/15\/dod-cyber-defense-arm-establishes-intel-ops-fusion-cell\/\" title=\"\" data-original-title=\"\"><i>DoD cyber defense arm establishes intel\/ops fusion cell<\/i><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason for this particular fusion cell was in response to a gap between the integration of operations and intelligence inside JFHQ-DoDIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creighton noted in her previous role as the senior officer for cyber defense\/command and control and the director of the joint cyber center at Pacific Command, they saw the need for defensive cyberspace intelligence: intelligence support to defensive cyberspace operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber protection teams within Central Command\u2019s area of responsibility developed a cyber threat prioritization model in response to forces becoming bogged down in preparatory intelligence for defensive operations, resulting in teams only conducting two missions a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe model came to be mainly because our cyber protection teams &#8230; the ones that are assigned for Central Command [from Cyber Command] \u2026 were asked to speed up their [intelligence preparation of the environment] development process because the analysts were taking so long developing IPE because the threat space is really big,\u201d Marlene Kovacic, a cyberspace branch senior intelligence analyst at CENTCOM and defensive cyber operations team lead, said at the DoDIIS Worldwide Conference in August. \u201cThe CPTs were limited to one, maybe two missions a year, which is not really using the CPTs efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/dodiis\/2017\/08\/16\/defensive-cyber-teams-take-on-more-missions-under-new-model\/\" title=\"\" data-original-title=\"\"><i>Defensive cyber teams take on more missions under new model<\/i><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intelligence support to cyber defense is difficult, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others have also explained the critical need for intelligence to CPTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIntelligence support to cyber \u2026 this is a huge gap, we are making progress, but ultimately what we want to have happen here is [cyber protection team operation] &#8230; driven by intelligence,\u201d Navy Lt. John Allen, the lead cyber defense force planner with U.S. Cyber Command, said during a June conference. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get the most return on investment from our teams if we\u2019re posturing them where we think the adversary will be at based on intelligence and information, instead of being so reactive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/disa-vision-guide\/2017\/06\/19\/cyber-protection-teams-need-more-intelligence-say-officials\/\" title=\"\"><i>Cyber protection teams need more intelligence, say officials<\/i><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an ideal construct, Allen said it would be mandated that cyber support teams and national support teams provide intelligence to all of the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creighton added that they\u2019ve had to do some partnering in network defense to harness the right folks working with Cyber Command, NSA, the service cyber components, the combatant commands and the intelligence capabilities that are within the cyber protection teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s an acknowledgement that offense and defense have to work together not just on the ops side but on the intel side,\u201d she told Fifth Domain following her speech. \u201cThere\u2019s a group of intel folks just focused on the threat actors and what they\u2019re doing but then the same thing from a defensive point of view. As we learn their capabilities, then the defenders have to understand what those are so they can best defend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
