发帖数: 1392 | 1 WASHINGTON—The U.S. military has spent five years developing advanced
cyberweapon and digital capabilities and is likely to deploy them more
publicly soon, the head of the Pentagon’s U.S. Cyber Command said Thursday.
Adm. Mike Rogers, who is also director of the National Security Agency, said
U.S. policy makers have largely agreed on rules of engagement for when
cyberweapons can be used for defense.
There is still an open discussion, however, about when cyberweapons should
be used for “offense,” such as carrying out attacks against a group or
foreign country.
“You can tell we are at the tipping point now,” Adm. Rogers said. “The
capacity and the capability are starting to come online [and] really
starting to pay off in some really tangible capabilities that you will start
to see us apply in a broader and broader way.”
Still, Adm. Rogers stopped short of specifying how exactly these cyberpowers
could be deployed in coming months.
Despite a series of high-profile cyberattacks in the past two years,
including a large-scale breach at Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. in late
2014 and the theft of millions of records from the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management in 2015, Adm. Rogers suggested many Americans have become
complacent, since they don’t see the rise of cyber armies and
cybercriminals affecting their daily lives.
That could change fast, he said, if a cyberattack achieves large-scale
destruction, particularly in a fashion resembling a more traditional weapon.
Analysts have said these sorts of acts could including attacking a country
’s electrical grid or knocking a nation’s financial system offline.
“I’m watching capability when I go, ‘Wow, if the intent were to change,
we’d have some real challenges here,’ and intent can change really quickly
,” he said. “I would urge us not to draw the conclusion that there is
nothing here we really need to worry about. I would argue it’s going to get
worse before it gets better.”
Adm. Rogers, who has led the NSA and Cyber Command for two years, was
brought in to stabilize the agency after a furor over the far-reaching
surveillance program disclosed by former contractor Edward Snowden. The NSA
has seen some of its powers clipped, most notably when Congress last year
banned bulk collection of telephone records.
Adm. Rogers has said the agency needs to do more to restore public
confidence, and he has been adamant that the government needs to develop
specific rules about the emerging digital battlefield.
Following the OPM breach, which some U.S. officials attributed to Chinese
hackers, many lawmakers have said the White House and Pentagon need to
clarify rules of engagement and make them public. These could include
specific punishments and retaliatory actions, as a way to deter future
attacks.
Adm. Rogers said policy makers have been working to develop “the same kind
of standards” for responding to cyberattacks that they use for other
warfare.
The NSA director also said the agency will launch a reorganization this year
to better mesh its two tasks—digital spying and data collection on the one
hand and protecting information on the other.
“We have got to integrate much more,” he said. “This traditional approach
we had…built walls of granite between them.” | y******9
