The goals and objectives of cyber operations can be both defensive and offensive. Defensively, the purpose of cyber operations is to protect one's own computer networks and information infrastructure from being disrupted or disabled by an adversary. Additionally, it can be used to detect intrusions and thwart attacks before they cause damage. Offensively, cyber operations can be used to project power and disrupt or disable an adversary's computer networks and information infrastructure. The Moonlight Maze incident was a series of large-scale cyber attacks that began in 1996 and lasted for over two years. The attacks were perpetrated by unknown individuals who were able to gain access to sensitive U.S. government data, including nuclear weapon launch codes. The Stuxnet incident was a targeted attack on Iran's nuclear program that caused physical damage to centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear facility. The attack was carried out using a piece of malware that was specifically designed to target the industrial control systems that were used to operate the centrifuges. The malware succeeded in causing approximately 1,000 centrifuges to fail. In response to these incidents, the U.S. government enacted a number of regulations and laws designed to improve the security of critical infrastructure and reduce the likelihood of future cyber attacks. These include the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 and the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) of 2013. Additionally, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a framework for improving cybersecurity that has been adopted by many organizations.
The goal of cyber operations is to attack and disrupt an adversary's computer networks in order to degrade, destroy, or deny their functionality. Additionally, the goals and objectives of cyber operations can also be to gather intelligence from an adversary's networks or to support other military operations. The Moonlight Maze incident was a series of cyber attacks that were conducted against the United States by Russia in the late 1990s. The Stuxnet incident was a cyber attack that was carried out against Iran's nuclear program in 2010. As a result of these incidents, the United States issued several regulations and laws related to cyber security, including the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 and the National Cybersecurity Protection Advancement Act of 2015.
