The US National Security Agency’s new Cybersecurity Directorate held a media roundtable at Fort Meade on October 10th, 2019. That the event was held at all is perhaps the most significant news to emerge from it. The Directorate, which achieved initial operating capability only on October 1st, says it’s committed to public education, and the roundtable was part of that outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cybersecurity Directorate’s mission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NSA has always been in cyber.” The\nCybersecurity Directorate’s mission was repeatedly characterized as\n“prevention” and “eradication” of cyber threats to National\nSecurity Systems and the Defense Industrial Base, or, as representatives put\nit, “keep ’em out and kick ’em out.” Neil Ziring, the Directorate’s\nTechnical Director, stressed that, while the name is new, the mission is not.\nMuch of that mission was inherited from the old Information Assurance\nDirectorate (IAD), and such responsibilities as providing cryptographic keys\nare not going away. “Structurally, we’re much more unified in the new\nDirectorate,” Ziring said. The principal difference between the new\nDirectorate and its IAD predecessor lies in the Cybersecurity Directorate’s\nintegration with intelligence analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A view of the threat landscape.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization and its mission are perhaps\nbest understood against the background of the current threats. Ziring explained\nthat nation-states used to attack nation-states, but this has changed. State\nactors now go after companies, universities, not-for-profits (including think\ntanks), state and local governments, and so forth. The opposition’s expansion\nof its target set changes how NSA confronts the problem. Nation-states have\ndifferent strategic and operational objectives, and intelligence about these\nusefully informs US defenses. Ziring and Anne Neuberger, the Cybersecurity\nDirectorate’s first Director, called out the familiar “big four”\nnation-state adversaries: Russia (with a comprehensive interest in disrupting\nAmerican society, government, and power, notably through information operations),\nChina (focused on developing a dominant economic position, and especially on\nways in which intellectual property theft serves that development), Iran (an\naggressive player in cyberspace willing to engage in destruction, particularly\nin the service of regional objectives), and North Korea (whose interests lie\nprincipally in redressing the financial shortfalls international sanctions have\nimposed on that country). These are “very capable” threat actors,\nNeuberger said, and understanding why they use the techniques they do against\ntheir chosen targets is important to preventing and eradicating threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Directorate’s customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSA brings knowledge of threat actors to the\nnation’s cyber defenses. “We realized,” Neuberger said, “we\nneeded to operationalize our intelligence.” Doing so will require\nproviding the customers with context for the intelligence they receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposition’s target set is very\nheterogeneous, even when one considers only the Defense Industrial Base, and\nprotecting a heterogeneous sector securing a highly diverse ecosystems, is very\ndifficult. The Directorate is looking for different approaches that serve the\ndistinct needs of very different organizations. NSA is committed to conducting\nmore unclassified collaboration, especially with the Defense Industrial Base,\nand especially with other Government agencies, notably the Department of\nHomeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a combat support agency (and Neuberger\nemphasized that this is what the Agency has been and remains), NSA has learned,\nNeuberger believes, some important lessons that have broader applicability.\nIt’s learned that intelligence must be actionable, and that to be actionable,\nit must be both timely and clearly addressed to the user’s needs. This is true\nwhether the intelligence is being provided to a tactical unit in a theater of\noperations or a small business that supplies sensitive technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while NSA remains a combat support agency,\nit’s committed to serving a much broader set of customers directly. Both\nNeuberger and Ziring several times cited the Directorate’s public\nwarning of October 7th concerning vulnerabilities in widely used\ncommercial virtual private networks as an example of the sort of actionable\nintelligence it was committed to providing not only its traditional clientele,\nbut the general public as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A look at the Integrated Cyber Center\/Joint\nOperations Center.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSA has certainly grown more accessible to the\npublic over the past few years, but Fort Meade remains far from an open post.\nThus it was interesting to visit the Integrated Cyber Center\/Joint Operations\nCenter where both the Cybersecurity Directorate and US Cyber Command stand\nwatch. The Center is in a building that opened only in September 2018, and it\nvery much still has its clean look and new-car scent. Our guide was US Air\nForce Colonel Stephen Landry, who observed that NSA’s support for securing the\n2018 elections was run from that center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were able to observe the Center’s floor from\nthe “battle bridge,” a conference room whose large window afforded a\nview of the watch and the displays they used. Five teams succeed one another in\ncontinuous shifts that stand watch twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.\nThey provide, Colonel Landry explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Discovery, analysis, and dissemination of cyber intelligence.<\/li>
  2. Creation and sharing of situational awareness in real time.<\/li>
  3. Defense against “counter-cyber” adversaries.<\/li>
  4. Support to offensive cyber operations.<\/li>
  5. Support for crises and contingencies.<\/li>
  6. A command post for NSA\/Cyber Command operations.<\/li>
  7. And mission continuity.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The open-plan workspace could accommodate approximately two-hundred workers, a mix of Government civilian, military, and contractor personnel. Three large display screens dominate the space. They were, as Colonel Landry candidly said at the outset, prepared for the reporters’ visit with unclassified material. The choice of unclassified material is worth mentioning: several commercial video news feeds (including one from RT: “we don’t necessarily watch that one–it’s up there for you”), a big Fortinet cyber attack map with a running display of apparent attack traffic pinging across the globe (mostly, in the US, hitting Washington, St. Louis, and San Francisco), and a Team Cymru Malicious Activity Map. So quick congratulations to Fortinet and Team Cymru: their stuff was chosen for the reporters’ visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No such agency no more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Director Neuberger summed up the roundtable as\nrepresenting a departure from NSA’s well-known “no-such agency”\napproach to public engagement. “Serving in silence” remains very much\nthe core of NSA’s culture, but, as she put it, a black box agency is unlikely\nto be trusted, and trust is more important than ever when an adversary like Russia\nis principally interested in eroding mutual trust. “It is a culture\nchange. For us to be most effective, we have to be out there. It’s not an\noption. If we’re to be effective, we have to be out there and open.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
