8.9 Basics of State Strategy of Ensuring Cybersecurity
815
Cybersecurity Initiative, which was published in a press release issued by the administration of the President of the United States. The newest edition of this document
was published in November 2018.
The CNCI consists of a number of mutually reinforcing initiatives with the
following major goals designed to help secure the United States in cyberspace:
– To establish a front line of defense against today’s immediate threats by creating
or enhancing shared situational awareness of network vulnerabilities, threats, and
events within the Federal Government—and ultimately with state, local, and tribal
governments and private sector partners—and the ability to act quickly to reduce
our current vulnerabilities and prevent intrusions;
– To defend against the full spectrum of threats by enhancing U.S. counterintelligence capabilities and increasing the security of the supply chain for key
information technologies;
– to strengthen the future cybersecurity environment by expanding cyber education;
coordinating and redirecting research and development efforts across the Federal
Government; and working to define and develop strategies to deter hostile or
malicious activity in cyberspace
It is clear that all these targets cannot be reached without support from the US
federal government, which allocates significant amounts of funding to law enforcement, intelligence, and defense structures to strengthen such important functions as,
for instance, forced criminal investigation, collection, processing, and analysis of
intelligence data, as well as provision of all critically important information to all
concerned parties.
The press release also states that the strategy in the field of cybersecurity was
developed in the process of consultations with multiple state private law experts.
After all, protection of civil liberties and rights becomes a fundamental target in
implementation of this strategy.
The following directions were identified as the initiatives stated above:
– Manage the Federal Enterprise Network as a single network enterprise with
Trusted Internet Connections.
– Reduction of external access points, the establishment of basic security potentials,
as well as the involvement of relevant trusted providers in security issues.
– Deployment of the National Sensory Intrusion Detection System.
In accordance with the decisions adopted by the US government, the US Department
of Homeland Security has organized signature sensors on the EINSTEIN-2 platform
that is currently able to monitor Internet traffic in federal systems for the analysis of
unauthorized access and malicious content.
– Development of the systems for prevention of intrusions (attacks) in the networks
of various federal executive bodies.
