The Human Dimension of Network Security

Abstract

The transformation of the U.S. military relies heavily on new technology to wage standoff wars with limited casualties. However network centric warfare is susceptible to numerous risks and may not be safe enough to win wars alone. This paper will examine the safety of DOD networks and the implications it has on our military forces. Specifically it will address the human dimension of network security and vulnerabilities resulting from human error insider threats and deliberate hacking.
