The US will act with attacks offensively against foreign opponents now, instead of just playing defense. The acts will help deter foreign criminals/hackers from attacking in the first place by being proactive by launching attacks first. In the past the US has mainly just played defense, so this is a new cyber strategy signed by President Trump.

  A long overdue policy shift, the real question will be are we willing to engage in this fight with reciprocal fervor?

  In my opinion, I do not think the strategy prevents them from attacking the US. UU On the contrary, I believe that it will cause them to be more aggressive in their attacks or to attack innocents by supplanting data.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
