Cyber Security for Defense

Defending Cyberspace is never an easy task. In fact, it is one of the most difficult duties now facing the United States Military. How do you defend against an enemy, either foreign or homegrown, that can anonymously attack from any direction thereby potentially crippling entire units without firing a single shot?

Ten million attacks per day on Pentagon computers. Try to visualize how large a number ten million is. It equals roughly 116 attacks for every second, of every day. What could be worse? The attacks are getting more sophisticated and harder to beat. This event will focus on the ever growing need within the Military to not only combat this intense rise of Cyber Attacks, but also on developing a strong, resilient, and effective team of Cyber Warriors. This task is not without challenges though.  Without the proper training and resources, Cyber Warriors would be at a teremendous disadvantage.
