The Pentagon is ready to disrupt and disrupt the actions of opponents.
In a new strategic document released on Tuesday, the Pentagon announced its intention to use offensive cyber operations to "disrupt" and" disrupt " the actions of foreign powers and criminals who threaten US interests. The document notes China's desire to control cyberspace.
The new cyber strategy of the US Department of Defense was developed based on the experience of studying the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It emphasizes that the growing hacking capabilities of the United States are important for demonstrating the country's power, but also takes into account the risks of escalation in cyberspace.
The Pentagon also reiterated previous policies, including actively countering US adversaries in cyberspace, rather than just protecting their networks.
U.S. officials and Microsoft have previously expressed concerns about Chinese hacking campaigns targeting critical infrastructure in Guam and other parts of the United States. A National Security Agency official called such intrusions "unacceptable" because Chinese hackers were trying to gain access to networks that could disrupt critical services in the future.
The Chinese side denies these accusations, claiming that the United States conducts hacking operations in China.
The Pentagon's new strategy says Chinese hacking operations inform Beijing of "preparations for war." In the event of a conflict, Chinese cyber agents are likely to try to disrupt key networks that provide US combat power.
The US cybersecurity team has grown more powerful over the past decade, using its capabilities to fight cybercriminals who threaten US infrastructure and elections. However, the strategy recognizes that offensive cyber operations alone cannot contain these threats.
Mieke Eoyang, a senior cyber specialist at the ministry, noted that the US "cannot simply defend itself against constant threats in cyberspace."
