Part I: The Three Pillars of Intel Support to Cyber/Signal
1. Understand the Organization
- Know our footprint, equipment, and priorities
- You cannot support — or enable — what you do not understand
2. Operate & Maintain
- Overwatch the Adversarial Order of Battle and the physical infrastructure beneath the mission
- Keep the commander informed of operational health and risk through quantitative threshold metrics
3. Secure
- Characterize cyber threats against our networks and assets
- Study how Malicious Cyber Actors (MCAs) target adjacent organizations — their TTPs and infrastructure
- Translate that understanding into commander-level decision advantage
Part II: Five Critical Links for Success
- Defined Roles — Intelligence functions aligned to DCWF work roles under DoD 8140, building a solid relationship with cyber elements (supports pillars 1, 2, 3)
- Echelon Synchronization — Standardized, consolidated efforts that keep pace with domain evolution (2, 3)
- Clear Communication Lines — A "postal system" within the enterprise: predictable routing, coordinated and swift intelligence responses (2)
- Mission-Aligned Metrics — A measurement system (reporting) that quantifies effort and reporting against mission statements, routed through the communication backbone (2, 3)
- Unhampered Innovation — A Dev → Sandbox → Baseline pipeline enabling rapid adaptation without disconnecting intel from the operations it supports (1, 3)
Closing Charge
- Intelligence can be a predictive engine for cyber/signal operations when implemented effectively.
- Get the pillars right, build the links strong — and we move from chasing the threat to anticipating it
