Former NSA TAO Officer, and the Chief of Outreach at the Army Cyber Institute at West Point, Dr. Michael Klipstein appears on this week’s episode of Task Force 7 Radio to discuss why Information Operations are so easy to conduct by Nation States and how they have become so dangerous to the National Security of the United States. Host George Rettas and Dr. Klipstein discuss why Cyber Security has become one of the top National Security issues that most western countries face, how the United States has taken a stand of “Defending Forward” and what that means in terms of U.S. Cyber policy. Dr. Klipstein talks about how the Russian Government has excelled at Information Operations, what lessons they have taken from China’s long term strategy; how hostilities via the Internet are creating new “norms” across the globe; how SouthCom is approaching Cyber Security Operations; and how the United States and its allies should be sharing intelligence information.
