FORT MEADE, Md. — The National Security Agency (NSA) is pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the National Cryptologic Museum. As NSA’s principal gateway to the public, the newly renovated museum will provide a unique opportunity to engage with cryptologic history in fresh and innovative ways – transporting visitors on a journey from the…
Even though technical solutions for security problems are widespread, there are no adequate security measures against precarious user behavior. Even if hashing and encrypting are used correctly in masking the passwords, attackers can bypass these strong points by going for the weakest link. Most likely, this will happen through sharing a password, using an already leaked password, or creating a feasibly guessable password (Olmstead and…

The CMMC framework builds upon existing regulations like National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 but introduces a certification requirement to validate compliance. CMMC applies to any organization in the DoD supply chain and helps protect against cyberthreats by enforcing stricter cybersecurity controls. CMMC consists of different levels that define the…
Interconnected devices in an IoT collect, share, and process data without direct human intervention [1]. These smart systems use sensors, artificial-intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, and secure communication channels to automate decision-making and improve operational efficiency. While IoT is widely used in industries like healthcare, transportation, and smart cities, its role in military operations and national security…
Behavioral biometrics are considered by many to be more appealing than standard security methods due to continuous authentication. Continuous authentication makes it unnecessary for users to constantly enter the same passwords or present physical means of validation, further improving efficiency and security. Data quality is a key part of ensuring accuracy and reliability in behavioral…
Types of DDoS Attacks Volumetric Attacks: Send a high volume of traffic to a specific target to consume its bandwidth and impede the victim’s internet access [2]. Application Attacks: Intentionally exhaust server resources by sending an overwhelming amount of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests to a server during a short amount of time, which can…
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative capability for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Agentic AI systems can execute complex tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI, these agents can proactively analyze data, make decisions, and act with minimal human intervention. Within the DoD, the concept of agentic warfare reflects a growing shift from…
The Cybersecurity and Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC) was tasked with researching and providing information on open standards applicable to zero trust implementation. CSIAC identified various open standards being used today that support and uphold the implementation of the zero trust architecture within the U.S. Department of Defense.
This discussion provides attendees with an understanding of how to construct a comprehensive risk management program. This includes developing a governance structure, a risk appetite statement, and related policies and procedures. The publication “Advancing Risk Management Capability Using the OCTAVE FORTE Process” helps gain an understanding of the framework and underpinnings of this discussion. This…
As more connected devices demand an increasing amount of bandwidth for tasks like teleworking and cloud computing, it will become extremely challenging to manage the finite amount of wireless spectrum available for all users to share. Engineers are employing artificial intelligence to dynamically manage the available wireless spectrum, with an eye toward reducing latency and…
