“The process of making laws is very bureaucratic, it can never be ahead of technology,” Zimbabwe’s former minister of ICT & cyber security said during the session on digital warfare.

“The reality is that the politicians are understanding the risks when it comes to their power. Cyber security is right at the bottom of the list.”

“For as long we weaponise the internet, the fear is we will go back to an age where nobody cares. You cannot allow a few countries to invest and run the technology,” Mandiwanzira asserted.

“Wars have always been fought on land, air, sea and space. Now, wars are being fought in cyberspace, you are in a sense legitimising cyber attacks,” he added.

Guard, Reserve Component Summit Exemplifies ‘Cyber Is a Team Sport’

/in


Senior leaders from around the U.S. Cyber Command enterprise attended a summit on April 19 at the command’s headquarters to discuss the future of cyber operations, evolving capabilities, and deeper integration.

The gathering was conducted both in-person and virtually, bringing together Reserve Component leadership and Service Cyber Component commanders to highlight current contributions, challenges, and strategies within the cyber environment, while focusing on increased integration and collaboration.

During the event, leaders engaged in a roundtable discussion covering three topics: increasing Reserve Component cyber capacity/capabilities, operations in the information environment, and intelligence operations relating to cyber.

Gen. Paul Nakasone, CYBERCOM commander and National Security Agency/Central Security Service director, discussed the value of the Total Force during his opening remarks at the event. He said that protecting the nation against malicious cyber activity is a whole-of-nation effort involving partners from industry, academia, interagency, and the Guard and Reserve.

While each component brings a unique aspect to the cyber fight, it is the partnerships of the Total Force that gives America’s cyber warriors an advantage.

The benefit of Guard and Reserve teammates is they often bring skillsets from their civilian careers, which can boost innovation. This expertise, coupled with their ability to easily support their home states and work within existing partnership programs, brings a valuable dynamic to the cyber defense of the nation.

“Cyber warfare is not just our future—it is our contemporary reality,” said Gen. Hokanson, Chief, National Guard Bureau. “The National Guard is positioned to be leaders in the digital domain, and continues to enhance our nation’s cyber capabilities in combat and in the homeland.

“With 4,000 National Guard cyber operators across 40 states, many working for leading tech companies, the National Guard has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to play a critical role in the DoD’s cyber enterprise,” he added.

This joint partnership between CYBERCOM components has already proved successful. In the 2020 Elections, the…

When Joe met Xi – the Seinfeld summit

/in


Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster argues there were no breakthroughs during Biden’s virtual meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

This was the Seinfeld summit – nothing happened. And that works to Communist China’s advantage because all President Joe Biden did was signal to Xi Jinping American acceptance of what should otherwise be an unacceptable status quo.

In that status quo, Communist China continues to wage economic and cyber warfare on the United States. No pushback from Biden and they continue to hack our computers and take apart our manufacturing base.

XI CALLS BIDEN ‘MY OLD FRIEND’ AFTER US PRESIDENT HAD INSISTED THEY WERE NOT CLOSE

Communist China continues to rattle sabers in the Taiwan Strait. At least according to the Chinese readout, Biden remains committed to the so-called One China policy and does not support Taiwan’s independence. Yet there was no pushback from Biden on China’s growing threats to Taiwan and therefore a clear sign of Neville Chamberlain-style weakness that will invite additional Communist aggression.

BIDEN’S FED CHAIR ANNOUNCEMENT IMMINENT

Communist China continues to build coal plants with little if any environmental controls at a breakneck – and break the carbon bank – pace. China’s coal binging will be more than sufficient to overwhelm the efforts of the entire rest of the world to control carbon emissions. Yet Biden refused to pressure Xi Jinping to honor his commitments on the global warming front.

HR MCMASTER ON BIDEN-XI MEETING: WORLD WILL BE LESS SAFE IF CHINA TAKES OVER

While Biden is at least keeping the Trump tariffs on China for now, he refused to insist Xi honor China’s commitments to agricultural and other purchases agreed to in what was billed in January 2020 as a historic Trump trade agreement. Once again, with China tens of billions of dollars short on it commitments, China has earned its reputation as never following through on any agreement it ever signs.
