What if you were responsible for a network of 80,000 users in 24 time zones? Just for fun, let’s make you responsible 24 hours a day and mistakes can be fatal.  Your challenge: react in 90 minutes or less to an intruder. 

Is it an incident or a cable cut?  This can sound trivial until you realize that you are dealing with a life and-death situation.

 This is the incredible challenge that faces the United States Special Operations Command.

 Today, we hear the tactics and strategies from two colonels in the unenviable position of having responsibility.  Listen to the interview to get a new perspective on handling an overwhelming number of signals in a lethal environment. 

 Col. Joseph Pishock talks about the “grey space.”  We know the military has its proprietary secure networks – what happens when one needs to optimize by using commercial services? 

Col. William Uhrig suggests that commercial companies may have a lead in understanding the cyber threat in this “grey” space.  If that is the case, then the military will have to figure out a way to safely and securely take advantage of commercial capabilities.
