CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI), the U.S. Naval Institute
(USNI) and the Center for Security Policy (CSP) today announced the
release of Cyber Threats to National Security: Keeping the Nation’s
Industrial Base Safe From Cyber Threats. This report publishes
recommendations from the fifth symposium in the Asymmetric Threat
series on cybersecurity, co-sponsored by CACI, USNI, and CSP.
Copies of the report may be downloaded from CACI’s website at
www.caci.com or from the dedicated Asymmetric Threat website at
asymmetricthreat.net.
Held on March 1, 2011 at the Carnegie Institution for Science in
Washington, D.C., the Cyber Threats symposium featured keynote
speakers that included Ambassador John R. Bolton, former United
States permanent representative to the United Nations; the
Honorable James S. Gilmore, III, former governor of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and chair of the Gilmore Commission on
terrorism; and Frances Townsend, Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance and former
Homeland Security Advisor to President George W. Bush. Panelists
included leaders and experts from government, industry, and
academia, with topics ranging from industry concerns to the view
from Capitol Hill.
As the report notes, the engines of America’s economy and
industrial base are both vitalized by today’s technology advances –
and asymmetrically threatened by individual and state actors who
infiltrate increasingly edgeless digital networks from within and
without. Success demands a strategy that couples agile, adaptive
national security policies with flexible legislation defining
government roles and authorities. National security imperatives
must be balanced with personal privacy, and U.S.-led international
agreements must establish norms and enforce sanctions.
CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, “CACI recognizes the
importance of safeguarding cyberspace to support America’s national
security, and we are developing a robust cyber solutions practice
to meet the critical needs of our government customers. With our
support for the Asymmetric Threat symposia series, we also continue
our commitment to developing the thought leadership our nation
requires to counter national and global cyber threats at every
level.”
CACI Chairman of the Board Dr. J.P. (Jack) London gave the
welcoming remarks at the Cyber Threat symposium. According to Dr.
London, “The CACI-USNI-CSP report, Cyber Threats to National
Security: Keeping the Nation’s Industrial Base Safe From Cyber
Threats, presents compelling evidence from leading experts that
America’s industrial base faces significant cyber threats. Only
through the development of a dynamic, national, cybersecurity
policy framework, which directs all government agencies and
promotes public-private partnerships, can we hope to protect our
economy. In the 10 years since September 11, our nation has made
great strides in securing our homeland, and as our report
indicates, we must remain vigilant.”
USNI CEO Vice Admiral Peter H. Daly, U.S. Navy (Ret) said,
“Cyber has now taken its place among other core warfare areas, and
the U.S. Naval Institute – The Independent Forum of the Sea
Services – is pleased to have once again been a part of this
important discussion on an issue of critical importance to our
national security.”
CSP President and CEO Frank Gaffney stated, “Our adversaries –
both familiar and newly emergent – have shown their intent and
ability to use cyberspace to conduct warfare without firing a
shot. The Center for Security Policy is pleased to have worked
with CACI and USNI to facilitate discussion on how to address this
urgent and rapidly evolving threat.”
About the Asymmetric Threat Symposia
The Asymmetric Threat symposia provide a forum for thought
leadership on national security. The first Asymmetric Threat series
focused on U.S. and global security. Symposium One, co-sponsored by
CACI and the National Defense University and held on May 8, 2008 at
the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., defined the
asymmetrical threat problem. Symposium Two, co-sponsored by CACI
and USNI and held at Ft. Myer, Virginia on October 21, 2008,
addressed the efficacy of soft power instruments such as diplomacy
and economic aid. Symposium Three, co-sponsored by CACI and USNI
and held at Ft. Myer on March 24, 2009, concluded the series by
addressing how soft power can be combined with military hard power
to form “smart power” tools for defeating asymmetric threats. The
second Asymmetric Threat series focuses on cybersecurity, and
Symposium Four, co-sponsored by CACI and USNI and held at Ft. Myer
on March 2, 2010, centered upon countering challenges to the global
supply chain. Countering Cyber Challenges to the Industrial Base is
Symposium Five in the overall Asymmetric Threat series.
