New Framework Aims To Protect Homeland Systems From Cyber Threats
The Pentagon’s Defense Cyber Defense Command is working to develop a framework for defending critical infrastructure in the homeland against cyberattacks. According to Col. Adolph Rodriguez, the command is building a framework for responding to cyber threats, including the creation of ‘digital green zones’ to secure and monitor data. The effort is a key priority given the importance of critical infrastructure to both civilian life and military installations. The plan involves applying existing roles between civil, federal, and defense teams, similar to how Northern Command operates with civil authorities over homeland defense.
