National Counterintelligence Strategy of the United States of America, 2020-2022
From the Document: "The United States is facing increasingly aggressive and complex threats from foreign intelligence services, as well as state and non-state actors. To anticipate and deter these threats, the U.S. Government continues to address its fundamental, core counterintelligence missions: identifying, assessing, and neutralizing foreign intelligence activities and capabilities in the United States; mitigating insider threats, countering espionage and assassination attempts by foreign intelligence services from occurring on U.S. soil and abroad; and protecting U.S. sensitive and classified information and sensitive facilities from technical penetrations or espionage. This 'National Counterintelligence Strategy of the United States of America, 2020-2022' presents a new perspective on how to effectively address foreign intelligence threats as a nation. Five strategic objectives encompass the most critical areas where foreign intelligence services are targeting the United States: Critical Infrastructure; Key U.S. Supply Chains; the U.S. Economy; American Democracy; and Cyber and Technical Operations."

Internet: An Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth [Updated December 20, 2005]
"In the decade between 1994 and 2004, the number of U.S. adults using the Internet increased from 15% to 63%, and by mid-2005, stood at 72%. From electronic mail to accessing information to online purchasing ('electronic commerce'), the Internet touches almost every aspect of modern life. The extent to which use of the Internet continues to grow, however, may be affected by a number of technology policy issues being debated in Congress. First is the availability of high-speed - or 'broadband' - Internet access. Broadband Internet access gives users the ability to send and receive data at speeds far greater than Internet access over traditional telephone lines. With deployment of broadband technologies accelerating, Congress is seeking to ensure fair competition and timely broadband deployment to all sectors and geographical locations of American society. Next are a range of issues that reflect challenges faced by those who do use the Internet, such as security, privacy (including spyware and identity theft), unsolicited commercial electronic mail ('spam'), protecting children from unsuitable material (such as pornography), and computer security, including the vulnerability of the nations critical infrastructures to cyber attacks. Other issues include the governance of the Internets domain name system (DNS), which is administered by a U.S.-based nonprofit corporation called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). With the Department of Commerce currently exercising legal authority over ICANN, and in reaction to calls for greater international control over the Internet, the 109th Congress has expressed its support for maintaining U.S. control over the domain name system."

Cybersecurity: Cyber Crime Protection Security Act (S. 2111, 112th Congress)- A Legal Analysis [January 28, 2013]
"The Cyber Crime Protection Security Act (S. 2111) would enhance the criminal penalties for the cybercrimes outlawed in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Those offenses include espionage, hacking, fraud, destruction, password trafficking, and extortion committed against computers and computer networks. S. 2111 contains some of the enhancements approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee when it reported the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act (S. 1151), S.Rept. 112-91 (2011). The bill would (1) establish a three-year mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for aggravated damage to a critical infrastructure computer; (2) streamline and increase the maximum penalties for the cybercrimes proscribed in CFAA; (3) authorize the confiscation of real property used to facilitate the commission of such cyberoffenses and permit forfeiture of real and personal property generated by, or used to facilitate the commission of, such an offense, under either civil or criminal forfeiture procedures; (4) add such cybercrimes to the racketeering (RICO) predicate offense list, permitting some victims to sue for treble damages and attorneys' fees; (5) increase the types of password equivalents covered by the trafficking offense and the scope of federal jurisdiction over the crime; (6) confirm that conspiracies to commit one of the CFAA offenses carry the same penalties as the underlying crimes; and (7) provide that a cybercrime prosecution under CFAA could not be grounded exclusively on the failure to comply with a term of service agreement or similar breach of contract or agreement, apparently in response to prosecution theory espoused in 'Drew.' With the exception of this last limitation on prosecutions, the Justice Department has endorsed the proposals found in S. 2111."

Smart Meter Data: Privacy and Cybersecurity [February 3, 2012]
"Fueled by stimulus funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), electric utilities have accelerated their deployment of smart meters to millions of homes across the United States with help from the Department of Energy's Smart Grid Investment Grant program. As the meters multiply, so do issues concerning the privacy and security of the data collected by the new technology. This Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) promises to increase energy efficiency, bolster electric power grid reliability, and facilitate demand response, among other benefits. However, to fulfill these ends, smart meters must record near-real time data on consumer electricity usage and transmit the data to utilities over great distances via communications networks that serve the smart grid. Detailed electricity usage data offers a window into the lives of people inside of a home by revealing what individual appliances they are using, and the transmission of the data potentially subjects this information to interception or theft by unauthorized third parties or hackers. Unforeseen consequences under federal law may result from the installation of smart meters and the communications technologies that accompany them. This report examines federal privacy and cybersecurity laws that may apply to consumer data collected by residential smart meters. It begins with an examination of the constitutional provisions in the Fourth Amendment that may apply to the data. As we progress into the 21st century, access to personal data, including information generated from smart meters, is a new frontier for police investigations. The Fourth Amendment generally requires police to have probable cause to search an area in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. However, courts have used the third-party doctrine to deny protection to information a customer gives to a business as part of their commercial relationship. This rule is used by police to access bank records, telephone records, and traditional utility records. Nevertheless, there are several core differences between smart meters and the general third-party cases that may cause concerns about its application. These include concerns expressed by the courts and Congress about the ability of technology to potentially erode individuals' privacy."

Supply Chain Risk Management [presentation]
From the Presentation: "[1] A renewed focus on supply chain risk management (SCRM) in the context of national security, its importance to the prosperity of the larger U.S. economy, and its entwined cyber threats, make SCRM a new and critical aspect of CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency] concern; [2] Increasing CISA is talking about SCRM as 'National Industrial Base Security' to allow for a precise conversation both on the nature of the evolving threat and how CISA means to adapt to protect the U.S.; [3] SCRM has historically been seen as the purview of the Department of Defense under The Defense Production Act and derived from that laws Title 3 authority; [4] This historic lens has focused much of the discussion about supply chain security around those industries and applications that held intrinsic defense applications and largely ignored the greater uses to society."

SBA: Urgent Need Leads to Long-Term Improvements
This document describes a successful example from the U.S Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)'s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program. From the Document: "As the entire nation grappled with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the Small Business Administration (SBA) faced a seemingly ominous challenge. Just when most Americans were forced to work from home--and when office systems and structures were upended as a result--SBA had to quickly implement a major and critical funding program for its small business community to help keep them afloat. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law March 27, 2020, to respond to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic in the United States. The CARES Act provided direct assistance to American workers and small businesses and authorized SBA to provide funding through the Paycheck Protection Program, Economic Injury Disaster Loans, and other debt/loan programs."

HHS: Cybersecurity Enhancements to Ensure Health Protections for All Americans
This document describes a successful example from the U.S Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)'s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program. From the Document: "In March 2020 when the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was transitioning its workforce to teleworking due to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], the department experienced a series of cyberattacks that attempted to overload the agency with computer data requests that could slow down or potentially disable its systems. While HHS quickly addressed and nullified the attacks, the department determined that increased vigilance was needed. Safeguarding HHS pandemic-related information, particularly regarding vaccine research and related data, was essential to protect it from bad actors and foreign adversaries seeking to profit from the data. Under the leadership of HHS Chief Information Security Officer Janet Vogel, HHS turned to the CISA's CDM Program for assistance. The effort was led by HHS Senior Security Advisor Bernard Asare and HHS Enterprise Security Architect and Manager Mark Deffenbaugh."

Best Practices for MITRE ATT&CK® Mapping
From the Introduction: "For the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), understanding adversary behavior is often the first step in protecting networks and data. The success network defenders have in detecting and mitigating cyberattacks depends on this understanding. The MITRE ATT&CK® [MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge] framework is a globally accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. ATT&CK provides details on 100+ threat actor groups, including the techniques and software they are known to use. ATT&CK can be used to identify defensive gaps, assess security tool capabilities, organize detections, hunt for threats, engage in red team activities, or validate mitigation controls. CISA uses ATT&CK as a lens through which to identify and analyze adversary behavior. CISA created this guide with the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute™ (HSSEDI), a DHS-owned federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), which worked with the MITRE ATT&CK team."

Insider Threat Mitigation Program: Available Resources
From the Document: "Malicious insiders pose a serious threat to organizations in the public and private sectors. Their authorized access or insider knowledge of critical assets offers them opportunities to compromise information, sabotage infrastructure, or inflict harm upon co-workers. A complacent or uninformed workforce can be equally as damaging by inadvertently allowing easy access to an external threat. Insider threats can be current or former employees, partners, contractors, or family and friends. Regardless of the actor, it is important for organizations to establish an insider threat program that can detect, deter, and prevent insiders from causing harm. Provided [herein] are some of the Department of Homeland Security resources to help organizations design a comprehensive program that protects against physical and cyber insider threats."

Cybersecurity: An Examination of the Communications Supply Chain, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, May 21, 2013
This is the May 21, 2013 hearing, "Cybersecurity: An Examination of the Communications Supply Chain," before the United States House of Representatives, Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. From the opening statement of Hon. Greg Walden: "Our communications networks strengths - its ubiquity and interconnected nature - may actually also be a weakness. Those who wish to harm our Nation, to steal money or intellectual property, or merely to cause mischief can focus on myriad hardware and software components that make up the communications infrastructure. And they can do so anywhere in the design, the delivery, the installation, or the operation of those components. So today's hearing will focus on securing that communications supply chain. […] Many of us have concluded that promoting information-sharing through the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, CISPA, that he and Representative Ruppersberger have now twice assured through the House with large bipartisan votes, is pivotal to better securing our networks. It was also in large part this committee's 2012 report on the communications supply chain that prompted this hearing. Supply chain risk management is essential if we are to guard against those that would compromise network equipment or exploit the software that runs over and through it." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Fred Upton, Greg Walden, Jennifer Bisceglie, Robert B. Dix Jr., Mark L. Goldstein, John Lindquist, David Rothenstein, Stewart A. Baker, and Dean Garfield.
