Laura K. Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia, DASD(RUE) - “We never had more than a few hundred million dollars for Ukraine … and here we realized we just had to scale up in a way that was kind of unimaginable, but we just launched in.” - DASD Laura Cooper created the structure for a nimble, meaningful response by the U.S. and its allies to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s unprovoked aggression and deliver military supplies at an unprecedented pace. What began in late 2021 as increasingly urgent conversations about supplies, in a small Defense Department office headed by Laura Cooper, by spring had become an organized process involving dozens of nations working together to amass those supplies and other security assistance for Ukraine’s defense against Russia - DASD Cooper helps Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin lead this Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which coordinates which countries will provide Ukraine with a wide range of critical items such as a radar system, a defensive interceptor missile or other equipment. - To keep Defense group meetings moving, DASD Cooper and her team provide information on the pros and cons of different capabilities ahead of time to participants from the military, the budget office, legislative affairs and elsewhere. Preparing for and constantly collaborating with many partner offices in advance markedly speeds meetings that otherwise could involve answering numerous questions about what is in the assistance package. — Congratulations to DASD Laura K. Cooper and her RuE team at OSD(Policy) https://lnkd.in/grBGCQBa

Geopolitical threats are a pressing concern for organisations in both the public and private sectors. As the world's militaries retool and rearm themselves, organisations must follow suit and reinvent their security strategies. However, changing an organisation's security posture can take years, just like changing a military strategy.

Last month two US Navy sailors were charged with spying for China, providing sensitive military information. With so many communications devices, tools, and services, from mobile phones and apps to email, SMS messaging, Zoom, Teams, and Slack, insider threats can very easily share or leak sensitive information. Click to learn how this happened and what you can do to mitigate the risk of insider threats at your organization? #security #privacy #insidertheat #china #informationsecurity #dataprotection #dataprivacy #surveillance #military #communications

MARFORCYBER is key in addressing cybersecurity concerns in the Marine Corps, ensuring new technologies from vendors enhance security without introducing risks. This role is vital for operational integrity in the digital battlefield. Is MARFORCYBER actually preventing Marine Corps units from becoming a "Lethality Liability"? How is MARFORCYBER ensuring that the Marine Corps networks are not being continuously exposed to risks and endangering troops in combat environments when units are allowed to procure vulnerable equipment at will? What is it exactly are they doing to mitigate this? #MARFORCYBER https://lnkd.in/eBjRJagV

Citizen science projects can help communities become more resilient and prepared for emergencies. Public participation in disaster preparedness drills, environmental monitoring, and public health surveillance can strengthen community responses to crises.

An excellent report by RAND and worth reading. Overcoming the procurement, cultural and institutional barriers surrounding COTS equipment made mission capable with software must be addressed. Conflating IP rights with vendor lock keeps highly capable systems from getting into the hands of our warfighters. “DoD should spend the majority of its R&D and procurement funds on modern technology that can be updated and modernized easily and at low cost. DoD should recognize the value of software and better organize its business practices accordingly. Companies should see an incentive and patriotic duty to work with DoD, be freed from excessive regulation, and be allowed to innovate to solve problems rather than meet overly engineered requirements.”
