Cyber Defense Planning: Operating on Unconventional Terrain

Abstract : The question 'How can the Army better plan and execute effective cyber defense? is too broad. We can craft more effective solutions if we narrow the question. And we can develop approaches that more closely align with traditional military vocabulary and symbology than does our current tendencies to 'go geek.' The approach, is to use the military decision making process, augmented with doctrinal Joint and Army graphics, and treat cyber terrain approximately the same as we treat the land and air domains.
