DHS Publishes Report on Operation Cyberstorm

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blind-leading-the-blind dept.

uniquebydegrees writes "InfoWorld reports that the Department of Homeland Security has released the findings of Operation Cyber Storm, a large-scale simulation of combined cyber-physical attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. From the article: 'According to DHS, "observers noted that players had difficulty ascertaining what organizations and whom within those organizations to contact when there was no previously established relationship or pre-determined plans for response coordination and risk assessments/mitigation. There was a general recognition of the difficulties organizations faced when attempting to establish trust with unfamiliar organizations during time of crisis."'"

    You don't actually know how the military works do you? Do you really think that they just want robots? In the middle of a firefight or emergency do you think that they have to call home to Momma to figure out what to do? If anything you are expected to be able to take independent action that will complement the actions of others to win. Strict zombie control gets you the Iraqi army not the US one.
