Tough Adversary? Don’t Blame Sun Tzu
Years ago, when I started working at the NSA, I said to myself, now I can see what’s really happening and what needs to be done to address our adversaries and put an end to cybercrime. Well, I was sure wrong. I worked in a few different offices and participated in hundreds of operations, only to find frustration time and time again. What happened? What was it that we just couldn’t put our finger on? Yes, we were successful in addressing criminal activity. Yes, we could successfully negotiate the contested cyberspace domain. But adversarial activity kept popping up on our radar. It was Whack-A-Mole 2.0.
Was it the technologies we used? No, we had state-of-the-art capabilities. Was there a lack of technical training amongst operators? No, again, taxpayers coughed up plenty, and they got their money’s worth. I concluded that it was strategy; it was philosophy. Sure, we had all the technical capabilities in the world, but we were using everything wrong.
I was in the Information Warfare Support Center. We were supposed to know what to do and how to do it! So, I started studying not only traditional but contemporary philosophy as well. I gained access to curricula in China, Russia, and the USA. This presentation informs the attendees of the adversarial philosophy taught in the military academies in China and Russia, which is taken from their curricula and papers published in various journals and practice today.
Teaching Information Warfare: Strategies in Academic and Government Institutions
This presentation provides a concise overview of the teaching strategies employed in academic and government institutions to educate individuals on information warfare. Academic institutions integrate these disciplines into their curricula, while government institutions, and academies, also emphasize specialized training programs. The multidisciplinary nature of information warfare actively encompasses cybersecurity, psychological operations, Operations Security, electronic warfare, deception techniques, and associated intelligence support. Curriculum integration involves adapting existing programs to address emerging information warfare threats. Specialized training initiatives, such as workshops and simulations, enhance preparedness and response capabilities in government institutions. This presentation emphasizes the role of academic and government institutions in equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills required to navigate the complexities of information warfare. To highlight the foundational differences in approach, we investigate similarities and differences in policy and lexicons unique to distinct cultures. By adopting interdisciplinary approaches, adapting curricula, providing specialized training, and considering cultural nuances, these institutions contribute to developing competent professionals capable of safeguarding national security in the digital age.
