- The Defense Department Memo describes a reduction in the cybersecurity training frequency
- This despite cyber attacks that achieve more and more military objectives and infrastructure
- You can indicate an increase in AI or automated system use in the future
A recently circulated memorandum of the United States Government Department (also known as the Department of Defense) has acted the relaxation of cybersecurity training, despite taking energetic measures against shaving exemptions and physical appearance.
“The war department undertakes to allow our warriors to concentrate on their main mission to fight and win the wars of our nation without distraction,” confirms the memorandum. “The compulsory training of the department will be directly linked to war or consolidate, it is reduced in frequency or eliminates.”
Memorandum also requires that the military departments “automate information management systems to eliminate training requirements”, as well as to reduce the frequency of controlled information not classified (CUI).
Training reduction
The Secretary of War of the United States, Pete Hegseth, argued that when the staff is not training on the mission, the army is less prepared to prevent war in the future, a possibly myopic vision considering that the United States Air Force is currently investigating a violation of data that is believed that Chinese threat actors have carried out.
Together with the relaxation of training requirements, the training of the Privacy Law will be eliminated from the common military training list, which may not be surprising given the fairly colorful record of Hegseth with privacy rules.
The movement is also a change of direction since a few weeks before, when the DOD issued a new strict set of cybersecurity rules for potential contractors. These new regulations introduced three different levels of compliance that depend on the sensitivity of the data they handle, and the companies that compete for the contracts must comply to be selected.
Cybernetic attacks and intrusions are perhaps more prolific than ever, with more and more of our daily lives becoming digital.
The critical infrastructure suffered 13 attacks per second in 2023, and that number is only increasing, and with human error remains the main point of intrusion in the vast majority of cases, reducing cyber security training for anyone with links with national security is an incredibly risky movement of the Secretary of Defense.
