Unconventional Cyber Warfare: Creating a Cyber Resistance in the Private Sector

Abstract

Non-state actors independently, or as state actor proxies, search for vulnerabilities in the American network enterprise and they found it in 80% unhardened private sector cyber networks responsible for DoD and DHS critical infrastructure. The private sector should adopt an unconventional warfare approach to create a Cyber Resistance as a means of network defense which requires preparation of the environment to limit an adversary's opportunities, active deployment of friendly cyber capabilities, and a transition to external partners to regain network integrity.
