Why The Pentagon Needs To Leverage National Guard Cyber Skills (From The National Interest)

March 27, 2017March 27, 2017Constance Douris, M.A.

A successful cyberattack on computer systems that control the U.S. electric grid could cause a long-term blackout and disrupt critical services in the government and private sector, such as the water operations and food supply. Not to mention the local economy would likely shut down, causing people to evacuate in large numbers. Federal and state governments must work together to prevent and respond if a successful cyber attack were to occur, and they must communicate, share information and be aware of the cyber capabilities of each level of government to do so. I have written a commentary on this subject for The National Interest here.
