Chris Cleary capped what has been a big year as principal cyber adviser for the Department of the Navy with the release of the service’s Cyberspace Superiority Vision, which features three main pillars: secure, survive and strike. The new document, Cleary said, is for “the people who don’t consider this their core business spaces why these things are important — [and] more importantly, why it’s important to their mission.” He continued: “What the vision really talks about is we need to talk about those three things in concert. One doesn’t outweigh the other. It’s not to do offensive cyber operations takes away from defensive cyber operations — or to go do Office365 to enable zero-trust structures doesn’t take away from something we’re trying to do in the other two domains.”
