Conclusion

In this chapter, we discussed some of the larger principles that can be applied from physical warfighting practices to applications within cyber warfare. While, arguably, the two domains are different in form, there are approaches and useful capabilities that can be employed across the chasm between the two. There is a requirement in warfare to focus fire on the enemy where they are, not where they will be.

In cyberspace, the requirement is to do both of those things simultaneously. This means defenders must intelligently protect their internal assets as well as actively defend the users as they operate on their own personal devices "outside the wire." There are ways to enable this activity, but it often requires vendor-specific solutions and capabilities as open source solutions are not built to the scale and functionality that is needed. Using those solutions can be a valuable approach to addressing these issues.

In the next chapter, we will analyze...
