Department Summary:

Do you have a Cyber Warfare Operations background or Cyber/ Digital Network Exploitation Analyst and an interest in Operational Technology (OT) or Control Systems? Have you learned about or worked with OT/Control Systems and have an interest in supporting a Deterrence mission set? The Cyber Physical Deterrence Technologies (L543) department is focused on capabilities and technologies designed to deter our adversaries from holding our infrastructure at risk. This includes technical deterrence capabilities such as forensics and attribution, device countermeasures, adversary emulation, and deception capabilities. Policy-based capabilities also play a critical role in the execution of the deterrence mission. Development of normative behaviors and well-defined coordinated response options, for example, are achieved by reducing the ambiguity surrounding cybersecurity capabilities possessed, and the consequences for leveraging these capabilities against global infrastructure. L543 examines both domestic and foreign control systems and weapons systems technologies for hardware and software weaknesses. CIPIC views deterrence as a capability achieved in a coordinated fashion using both technical and non-technical means; the Policy Support core LOE is heavily engaged by L543.
