Partnering With Private Networks The DOD Needs a Reserve Cyber Corps
Abstract
With the increasing rate of change of Information Technology (IT), the Department of Defense (DoD) and other government entities must look in new areas to meet threats and remain competent in this age. The concept of reaching non-uniformed civilian professionals to assist DoD in inter-agency challenges such as reconstruction in failed states can be used to suggest the use of a similar outreach to meet technology challenges. The specific challenges facing the DoD in the future will include network attacks from skilled adversaries. Given the rapid changes occurring in technology, there must be new partnerships and networks with agencies outside the DoD which should include the creation of a cyber corps of skilled civilian professionals that can augment DoD resources in a crisis. It is in our nation's national interest to leverage the talents of all entities in our society and the development of human intellectual capital through is critical. This Strategic Research Project (SRP) will seek to expand the concept of networking between the DoD and the private sector to create a reserve cyber corps to meet new technological changes and potential threats.
