Cyberspace: Devolution and Recovery

Abstract

This Strategy Research Project (SRP) is a review of the "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace" for the U.S. Army War College Master of Strategic Studies Degree. The purpose of the paper is to provide an objective review of the strategy, supporting initiatives, and other relevant material to give readers an introduction to this important segment of our infrastructure. Is the United States prepared to deal with a cyber attack on critical infrastructure? And, more importantly, if and when an attack occurs, is there reasonable expectation of a timely recovery? These are questions that must be addressed. The paper will provide an introduction to the concept of cyberspace, a mock scenario for an attack on cyber infrastructure, an analysis of the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and supporting initiatives, and a conclusion.
