Defending the United States against acts of cyber aggression is now a major concern. A new wrinkle has been added to our past investigation on the topic of returning cyber fire on the DefenseTech.org Cyber warfare blog http://defensetech.org/2010/06/07/nato-ponders-returning-fire/). The Military's New Cyber Command has stated the applicable scope of their cyber offensive, defensive and intelligence capabilities as did the Department of Homeland Security; however, non-critical infrastructure businesses seem to have fallen through the cracks and are not addressed by either of these two groups. Given the absence of committed protection, Technolytics was recently asked if the private sector has the right to possess cyber arms and if they have the right to defend themselves when they are attacked by returning fire. The importance of this inquiry cannot be under stated.

NOTE: These questions and integrated operational scenarios are embedded within Technolytics' Cyber Warfare training program – now available in a classified version.

The Technolytics Institute recently looked at these important questions and completed analysis of "The Right to Bear Cyber Arms" under the second amendment, as well as the right and the possible self-defense obligation of the private sector by returning cyber fire. An executive summary of these issues is available on the Technolytics web site. Additionally, an excerpt of this work was just published in Volume 69 of Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine that is distributed to over 100,000 intelligence and security professionals in 36 countries.
