Avoiding the Next Failure of Imagination: Highlighting Opportunities for National Guard Cyber Civil Support Teams through an Analysis of the National Cyber Response Capacity Gap Using 9/11 Commission Report Methodologies

Abstract

The threat of a catastrophic cyber attack occurring within the United States is a topic routinely discussed at the highest levels of our national government. However, despite the threat rhetoric, the reality is that the United States government is simply not doing enough to ensure the necessary response forces are created and available across the nation to directly assist in the domestic response and recovery from a crippling cyber attack. This research paper outlines the current state of cyber response capability within the nation using a framework contained in the 9/11 Commission Report.
