The Most Likely Nemesis to Timely, Accurate Electronic Information

Abstract

Fighting enemy cyber attacks--it sounds exciting and many people are ready volunteers to help defeat the external attacks; however, the Department of Defense needs everyone to focus on the relatively mundane, internal (non-enemy) issues. The internal issues are the most likely nemesis to timely, accurate electronic information gathering and management for the Commanders-in-Chief (CINCs). While choosing a hard-to-crack password or developing a Continuity of Operations Plan or testing for interoperability may not sound thrilling, similar actions can spell the difference in getting timely, accurate information to the CINCs. Coming to grips with the numerous internal issues and implementing solutions is not necessarily technical or highly expensive; however, it will require strong advocacy from the CINCs.
