Fact Sheet: Cybersecurity National Action Plan [February 9, 2016]

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"From buying products to running businesses to finding directions to communicating with the people we love, an online world has fundamentally reshaped our daily lives. But just as the continually evolving digital age presents boundless opportunities for our economy, our businesses, and our people, it also presents a new generation of threats that we must adapt to meet. Criminals, terrorists, and countries who wish to do us harm have all realized that attacking us online is often easier than attacking us in person. As more and more sensitive data is stored online, the consequences of those attacks grow more significant each year. Identity theft is now the fastest growing crime in America. Our innovators and entrepreneurs have reinforced our global leadership and grown our economy, but with each new story of a high-profile company hacked or a neighbor defrauded, more Americans are left to wonder whether technology's benefits could risk being outpaced by its costs. The President believes that meeting these new threats is necessary and within our grasp. But it requires a bold reassessment of the way we approach security in the digital age. […] That is why, today, the President is directing his Administration to implement a Cybersecurity National Action Plan (CNAP) that takes near-term actions and puts in place a long-term strategy to enhance cybersecurity awareness and protections, protect privacy, maintain public safety as well as economic and national security, and empower Americans to take better control of their digital security."

Using Partnerships to Combat Cyber Threats

From the opening of Robert S. Mueller's speech: "From the opening of Robert S. Mueller's speech: 'We live in a wired world. Our networks help us to stay in touch with family and friends, collaborate with colleagues worldwide, and shop for everything from books to houses. They help us manage our finances and make businesses and government more efficient. But our reliance on these networks also makes us vulnerable. Criminals can use the Internet to commit fraud and theft on a grand scale, and to prey upon our children. Spies and terrorists can exploit our networks to steal our secrets, attack our critical infrastructure, and threaten our national security. And because the web offers near-total anonymity, it is difficult to discern the identity, the motives, and the location of an intruder. Yet for too many individuals and businesses, cyber crime remains a nebulous concept. So today, I want to talk about the evolving nature of cyber threats, what the FBI [Federal Bureau of investigation] is doing to combat them, and how we can work together to keep them at bay."

These open hearings occur yearly, and quite a few areas of threat are on the rise, including cyber, counterintelligence, counterspace, and Transnational Organized Crime. They concluded that global threats in the cyber realm are a growing trend, and our increased reliance on cyberspace and digital networks as a nation will create growing risks to our use of digital infrastructure. Exploiting and disrupting our online activities will likely increase, the Select Committee concluded; biggest threats will come from Russia and China.

Our National Information Infrastructure: An Immediate Strategic Concern in National Security Policy

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"The United States continues to experience a phenomenal growth in the Internet combined with an increased dependence upon the automated systems within its information infrastructure. This tremendous growth is accompanied with a commensurate increase in cyber attack and crime. Both nonstate and state sponsored enemies are becoming more organized and talented, and experts view the greatest dangers in cyberspace as villains lying in wait, withholding full-fledged cyber attack until the opportunity for sufficient strategic advantage presents itself. The United States' current security policies and strategies depend upon voluntary adherence to government recommendations with few regulations, standards or financial incentives to gain private sector support. The potential losses associated with failing to secure cyberspace are too high. This paper provides an assessment of national efforts to secure cyberspace and puts forward recommendations to strengthen this critical national infrastructure. The United States must reassess its national strategies and with practical incentives, enforce stronger measures to secure its information infrastructures. Otherwise, the nation will face unforeseen, potentially catastrophic consequences."

Framework for Establishing Critical Infrastructure Resilience Goals: Final Report and Recommendations by the Council

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"Our nation faces an increasingly complex set of risks that are interwoven into all facets of our businesses, infrastructures, and communities. The threat of hurricanes, financial instability, pandemics, cyber crime, social unrest, terrorism, and other disruptive events that flow from our participation in a global economy has become a part of our everyday lives. While we continue to work toward a safer and more secure world, the reality is that we must address emerging risks with diligence, commitment, and the understanding that we cannot reroute hurricanes, intercept every cyber attack, or prevent every disruption. President Obama put it succinctly: 'To succeed, we must face the world as it is.' Critical infrastructure risks pose a special problem for the country. The companies that own these infrastructures operate in competitive and regulated environments and must balance risk, investment, and cost to customers. Although they have a deeply ingrained sense of responsibility to their customers and shareholders, it is neither practical nor possible to safeguard infrastructures from all hazards. For the government, the continuity of these infrastructures--and electric power in particular--is critical to many of its fundamental missions: economic stability and growth, national security, public safety, and quality of life. Resilience provides the bridge between the possible and the ideal. The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC or Council) considers resilience to be a fundamental strategy that makes our businesses stronger, our communities better prepared, and our nation more secure. It is often the most flexible and cost-effective strategy to ensure continuity of services and functions and to minimize the impact of disruptions."

Cybersecurity: Threats to the Financial Sector, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit of the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, First Session, September 14, 2011

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the opening statement of Shelley Moore Capito: "Today's hearing will provide members of this subcommittee the opportunity to better understand the challenges financial institutions and their customers face from cyber threats. This year alone, there have been numerous security breaches and attacks on private companies, Federal agencies, and financial institutions. Actually, I think I might include myself in one of those; I think my card got caught up in one of these. Reports estimate that more than $1 trillion is lost annually to cyber attacks and that, on average, a security breach costs a small business approximately $7 million. These threats are especially acute and worrisome in the financial services industry. In June of this year, Citigroup reported that sensitive account information for 200,000 customers had been compromised by hackers. Statistics show that most of these attacks originate in Eastern European countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, most of these nations do not regard the actions of the hackers to be a crime so it is very difficult to bring these criminals to justice. The technological advances that provide hackers with the ability to carry out these attacks also make it very difficult to track the actions of the hackers. In order to effectively combat these hackers, it is critical for financial institutions to share information with other institutions as well as Federal law enforcement agencies." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Shelley Moore Capito, Greg Garcia, William B. Nelson, Marc Rotenberg, A.

China's Position on the Sony Attack: Implications for the U.S. Response

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the introduction: "In late November 2014, Sony Pictures Entertainment confirmed it was the victim of a cyber attack that crippled its networks and stole large quantities of personal and commercial data. On December 19, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) publicly identified North Korea as responsible for these crimes, describing the attack as 'destructive' and 'coercive' in nature. President Obama pledged the United States would respond 'proportionately' and 'in a place and time and manner that we choose.' On January 2, 2015, the United States imposed financial sanctions on North Korea's arms industry as a 'first step in retaliation.', Analysts and news media have suggested further steps could include listing North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, bringing down its propaganda websites, and targeting its computer hardware, with a kinetic response termed 'the remotest of possibilities.' U.S. officials reached out to China's government following this attribution in an effort to 'share information,' 'express our concerns,' and 'ask for their cooperation,' as stated by one representative. The United States reportedly asked specifically for assistance in a 'blocking action' to eliminate North Korea's ability to carry out future attacks, as Chinese state-owned enterprise China Unicom is a crucial conduit for nearly all of the regime's telecommunications. Beijing has yet to publicly respond to the U.S. overture or officially acknowledge North Korean involvement, stating only that China 'is against all forms of cyber attacks,' including those launched by a state 'using facilities beyond its own national borders against a third country.' As China has received attention as a potential factor in this attack, is in a unique position to influence North Korea, and is a key player in the development of international norms in cyberspace, its reactions to U.S. decisions on these matters are of particular interest."

Overview of U.S. Sanctions Regimes on Russia [January 11, 2017]

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"On December 29, 2016, President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for malicious cyber activity. These are the latest in a series of U.S. sanctions regimes that have been imposed on Russia over the last several years in response to activities that are state-sponsored or allegedly conducted by government officials. In addition, a number of Russian individuals and entities are subject to sanctions for terrorism, transnational crime, and weapons proliferation. The United States' use of economic sanctions in furtherance of national security or foreign policy is implemented, primarily, by the Departments of State (visas, arms embargos, arms sales, foreign aid, and in limited circumstances, prohibiting the use of U.S. passports to travel), Commerce (commercial exports), Defense (arms sales), Justice (investigation and prosecution), and the Treasury (blocking assets, prohibiting transactions, licensing export transactions, financial services, and in limited circumstances, restricting transactions related to travel). Interagency consulting occurs in implementing and administering any economic sanctions regime. In the 115th Congress, Members are drafting legislation to require sanctions on Russia for its cyber intrusions and other aggressive activities (pending in the Senate), and election interference (pending in the House)."

Common Sense Guide to Prevention and Detection of Insider Threats

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
"The threat of attack from insiders is real and substantial. The 2004 ECrime Watch Survey conducted by the United States Secret Service, CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC), and CSO Magazine, found that in cases where respondents could identify the perpetrator of an electronic crime, 29 percent were committed by insiders. The impact from insider attacks can be devastating. Over the past several years, Carnegie Mellon University has been conducting a variety of research projects on insider threat. One of the conclusions reached is that insider attacks have occurred across all organizational sectors, causing significant damage to the affected organizations. These acts have ranged from 'lowtech' attacks, such as fraud or theft of proprietary information, to technically sophisticated crimes that sabotage the organization. Damages are not only financial but can also include severe damage to the organization's reputation, resulting from widespread public reporting of the event. Insiders have a significant advantage over external people who might want to cause harm to an organization. Insiders can bypass physical and technical security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access. Mechanisms such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and electronic building access systems are implemented primarily to defend against external cyber threats. Not only are insiders aware of the policies, procedures, and technology used in their organizations, but they are often also aware of the vulnerabilities, such as loosely enforced policies and procedures or exploitable technical flaws in networks or systems."

Cybercrime: Can a Small Business Protect Itself, Forum before the Committee on Small Business, United States Senate, One Hundred Sixth Congress, Second Session, March 9, 2000

Show summary Open resource [pdf] (open full abstract)
From the opening statement of Hon. Christopher S. Bond, "Nine months ago this Committee held a forum on e-Commerce and its potential to allow a small business to compete successfully against its giant competitors. At that forum we outlined some of the obstacles to success in this dynamic market. The goal of this forum is to raise awareness of CyberCrime and to generate a dialogue between law enforcement and the small business community. According to a study by the University of Texas, e-Commerce accounted for the creation of 1.2 million jobs and $300 billion in revenue in 1998 alone. We all recognize what an astonishing growth pattern that is and the pace of it is truly remarkable. What is even more impressive is a recent Forrester Research study concluded that in January 2000 alone there was $2.8 billion in online retail sales, greater than the total $2.4 billion of retail sales for the entire year of 1997. We expect growth in this area to continue with increasingly more business being conducted via the Internet, both through e-retail and through more conventional business-to-business e-Commerce. With such expanded business activity, however, come new threats that we must address. A prime example is computer crime."

"We meet at a critical time. Our world is becoming more dangerous than ever, and where threats know no boundaries. In the past few years alone, we have witnessed a host of catastrophic disasters and threats that imperil our humanity and planet alike. Across a wide spectrum of global risks, we have seen the devastating effects that earthquakes, typhoons, flooding, pandemics such as ebola, cyber attacks, terrorism, and transnational crime and corruption can have on communities seeking to integrate more fully into the global economy and build more dynamic markets. While climate change and some of these other global shocks are not a topic of our meeting this week, sustainable security will remain one of the pressing global challenges in the coming years and an area that the OECD [Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development] will continue to underscore as part of the High-Level Risk Forum's risk management and resiliency initiatives. Our dialogue today will focus on illicit markets, and how the international community is working across borders to combat criminal entrepreneurs and threat networks that continue to hijack the advances of modernization and profit from trafficking in drugs, humans, counterfeits, endangered wildlife, and other illicit goods. Oil theft has also become an attractive and lucrative area for transnational organized crime and illicit networks. Across black markets around the world, a web of thugs and criminals is corroding and corrupting our institutions and penetrating key sectors by diversifying into high--profit, and low-risk areas such as oil bunkering, counterfeits, and even match fixing in sports."
