CFP: Lessons From Our Cyber Past: The First Military Cyber Units

The Atlantic Council invites participation at a workshop examining the early history of cyber conflict through military units that were established to operate in this new domain of warfare on March 5. Cyber Command is the most recent major cyber military unit, but it is not the first. Since the mid-1990s, there have been a chain of military commands, each created to help the military understand and deal with conflict in this new domain. This event will feature a discussion with three of the first pioneering cyber commanders. They have been asked to comment on the following questions: why was their unit created; what did they learn; and finally, what lessons are there for today? The workshop is scheduled for Monday, March 5, 2012, from 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m., at the Atlantic Council headquarters in Washington, DC. If you have any questions regarding this workshop, or would like to RSVP, please contact isp@acus.org. Please see the website for more information.
