Back to the Future with the New Secure Zone
By Craig Robinson
While some have characterized General Alexander’s comments regarding a new “secure zone” as a military turf grab, I believe the General is within his area of responsibility and that his specific comments do not diminish the role of other agencies, including DHS.
The treatment of the cyber domain as analogous to ground, sea, air, and space is valid. A broad range of adversaries have shown us repeatedly in recent years that they will operate against our interests in cyberspace, and as a nation, we must present a viable defense.
In many ways, General Alexander’s comments present a “Back to the Future” situation.
