3. Information Systems Security
3. Information Systems Security Draft of Chapter 3 of Realizing the Potential of C4I: Fundamental Challenges, National Academy Press, 1999. Written mainly by T. Berson, R. Kemmerer, and B. Lampson Security section of Executive Summary Goal: C4I Systems that remain operationally secure and available for forces in the face of attacks by adversaries. The greater the military leverage that C4I Systems provide for forces, the larger the incentives are for an opponent to attack those Systems . Indeed, it makes little sense for an opponent to challenge the symmetrically , , force-on-force. More likely avenues of challenge are asymmetric , , avenues that exploit potential vulnerabilities. Attacking C4I Systems . whether directly or indirectly ( , through the civilian Information infrastructure on which DOD. C4I Systems often depend) is only one of many asymmetric attacks, but such an attack is one for which the must be adequately prepared.
• Information systems security begins at the top and concerns everyone. Security is all too often regarded as an afterthought in the design and implementation of C4I systems. In fact, the importance of information systems security must be felt and understood at all levels of command and throughout the DOD.
