  • Evolving Developments in Cyberlaw: 2017

    As technology continues to evolve, the courts are being asked to apply existing laws to the new technology. In some cases, the answer is fairly straightforward, but in other cases it is more complicated and can yield varying outcomes based on how each court understands the technology and the legislators’ intent in passing the law. The presentation addressed cases over the past year in three main areas: (1) “unauthorized access” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), (2) encryption, and (3) searches and seizures generally.

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.
