DVIDS – News – U.S. Army cyber leaders help build partnership, interoperability with French Army during Fort Gordon visit

/in



FORT GORDON, Ga. — U.S. and French Army leaders strengthened the partnership and mutual security cooperation between the two nations during a visit by Gen. Pierre Schill, Chief of the French Army, with U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) and U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) leaders here, Aug. 24, 2022.

The event was part of a five-day visit by Schill with the U.S. Army at the invitation of U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. James C. McConville, to further bilateral cooperation and interoperability between the two armies and familiarize French leadership with U.S. efforts such as modernization programs, multi-domain operations, organizations and capabilities, and human resources initiatives.

Schill’s visit to Fort Gordon helped to establish and build French relationships, shared objectives and future interoperability with ARCYBER and the CCOE. U.S. leaders provided overviews of their organizations’ missions and structures; of the training and development of Soldiers in “immaterial domain” specialties such as cyber and information operations, and of how they are preparing for future challenges and managing and seeking solutions to capability gaps.

The event is an extension of America’s association with its oldest ally and NATO partner and the longstanding U.S.-French collaboration in cyberspace.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III highlighted the value of that partnership in defeating malicious adversaries in cyberspace during a meeting with French leaders last year.

“Our countries have a strong shared interest in protecting our critical infrastructure and that of our allies, including cyber infrastructure, and that’s a foundation for our future cooperation in the area of technological infrastructure more broadly,” Austin said.

“We are so grateful General Schill included a visit to U.S. Army Cyber Command and the Cyber Center of Excellence in his busy itinerary,” said Lt. Gen. Maria Barrett, ARCYBER commanding general. “We know the cyber domain and activities in the information dimension are ever-changing. Understanding how each of our armies are…

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2022 / C-Hear has quickly become industry leaders in digital accessibility and security. The innovators of C-Hear Intelligent Format File (CHIF), have designed a more secure environment to distribute encrypted and time sensitive data in one single data container. Businesses and individuals are in complete control of the encryption and security of their data.

As innovators in an ever-changing technological space, C-Hear delivers support and guidance to individuals and corporations seeking greater security for their data. They have partnered with companies in music and entertainment, finance, and national security, illustrating how using CHIF when used properly, can keep information secure from malware, hacking, and viruses.

In connection with their corporate alliances across the globe, they will be hosting two significant events in April. The first features an important discussion on the future of technology and the internet, while the second will honor dedicated civil servants and members of the United States military.

On April 6, C-Hear will welcome Sir Tim Berners-Lee to the George W. Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Berners-Lee has been called “the father of the World Wide Web and the modern internet,” and he will be speaking about the future of the internet as it enters its 31st anniversary year.

The event, called “The World Wide Web: A Midcourse Correction,” is set to cover several pressing issues, including:

Rising Popularity of IoT: Expanding Challenges for Security Leaders

By Argha Bose, Head Cyber Security and Risk Business, TATA Advanced Systems Limited- Cyber Security Practice

Security risks in the world of IoT or the Internet of Things are constantly on the rise with the growth in its popularity. Although IoT has provided businesses with opportunities to create more value and improve efficiencies, the continual connectivity (along with constant information sharing) has provided adversaries with options to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data. Consequently, the risks have grown significantly.

There is a broad range of smart devices available nowadays, which are being widely used by individuals in every business vertical. These connected devices include Alexa-enabled digital assistants, smartwatches/fitness bands, smart bulbs, etc. While, if we talk about IoT technology on the industrial level, multiple organizations had already incorporated IIoT and are reaping its benefits. For instance, Magna Steyr, an Austrian automotive manufacturer, is using the concept of smart factories to offer production flexibility. Also, ABB, a power and robotics firm, is utilizing connected, low-cost sensors to observe the maintenance of its robots to timely repair parts before they go down.

I believe that the adoption of IoT & IIoT will keep increasing with time. It is expected that the total number of IoT devices globally will reach 30.9 billion by 2025 (Source: Statista), while the global IIoT market is projected to reach USD 1.1 trillion by 2028 (Source: Grand View Research). Hence, it becomes important for us to step up and understand the security challenges of IoT technology so that the defence can be strengthened.

IoT: Things of Benefit for Threat Actors
Cyber attacks are not new to IoT, the difference is that they are becoming complex than before along with the increasing IT threat landscape. Threats actors view connected devices as an extremely valuable asset because of several reasons, including:

• Interoperability Issue: Industrial IoT (IIoT) environments usually include numerous devices, software, hardware and legacy equipment, which were primarily not designed to work collaboratively. This engenders a…
