ONLINE HYGIENE: Top threats to cyber defenders, according to a senior DISA official

摘要

Almost simultaneously as patches are released, adversaries are probing Department of Defense networks, according to Col. Paul Craft, commander of Global Operations Command at the Defense Information Systems Agency, which is responsible for global DoD network boundary defense. Even adversaries know about "patch Tuesday," Craft said during a June 14 panel at the AFCEA Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland. "We all know that patches come out and we know that it's our responsibility within the DoD to get it patched quickly. I'll tell you as the command that runs the boundary: We are immediately scanned for any of those vulnerabilities ... by our adversaries."
