A Thread for Cyber Defense / Offense

[OmnISec]

I cannot find a thread where I could specifically discuss the cyber warfare. We all know that cyber warfare and espionage is the battlefield not of the future but of now. So, please guide me if there exists any thread or sub thread for that e.g. I wanted to have a discussion for the latest Vault 7 leaks but I couldn't find any to discuss the details. There are threads in World Affairs and Science & Tech but does it really lie there?

In a military context commanders want to know the intent of the adversary to either make better strategic choices on the battlefield (offense) or to more aptly prepare for an attack (defense). The definitions and tradecraft used by various government and military organizations serve as the best foundation for understanding cyber intelligence.

The first is the definition of intelligence:

1. The product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign nations, hostile or potentially hostile forces or elements, or areas of actual or potential operations.
2. The activities that result in the product.
3. The organizations engaged in such activities.
   
   The key here is making sure the data meets some goal or purpose and is not just “intelligence for intelligence’s sake” (dragnet type intelligence operations actually hinder analysts and negatively impacts security
   
   This definition is applicable to cyber intelligence and we can simply apply the sources and efforts of the collection, processing, analyzing, and using of the intelligence to cyberspace related topics.
   

From the above we gather a great start into understanding cyber intelligence and moving to a point where we can use it appropriately. We also see the theme that intelligence is highly dependent on analysts and their interpretation of data.

You can develop on that..
