Burdensharing and Its Discontents
RAND researchers constructed a Burdensharing Index to aid in measuring and analyzing the contributions that U.S. allies make to the collective defense of the post-World War II liberal international order.
Identifying and Prioritizing Systemically Important Entities
This report helps the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency codify the concept of systemically important critical infrastructure by documenting the work surrounding systemic risks and cyber risks in software supply chains.
Assessing Risk to the National Critical Functions as a Result of Climate Change
National Critical Functions (NCFs) are government and private-sector functions so vital that their disruption would debilitate security, the economy, public health, or safety. Researchers developed a risk management framework to assess and manage the risk that climate change poses to the NCFs and use the framework to assess 27 priority NCFs. This report details the risk assessment portions of the framework.
Hybridity, Conflict, and the Global Politics of Cybersecurity
Cyberspace has become the ultimate frontier and central issue of international conflict, geopolitical competition, and security. Emerging threats and technologies continuously challenge the prospect of an open, secure, and free cyberspace. Additionally, the rising influence of technology on society and culture increasingly pushes international diplomacy to establish responsible state behavior in cyberspace and internet governance against the backdrop of fragmentation and polarization. In this context, novel normative practices and actors are emerging both inside and outside the conventional sites of international diplomacy and global governance. In Hybridity, Conflict, and the Global Politic...
Rivalry in the Information Sphere
Information confrontation, with historical roots in Russian (and Soviet) military thinking, is an important element of Russian military strategy. The Ukrainian experience offers insights into Russia's present-day and future use of information confrontation and hybrid warfare.
Cybersecurity and Supply Chain Risk Management Are Not Simply Additive
This report presents an examination of how cyber-related risks compare with other risks to defense-industrial supply chains and the implications of the differences in risks for directions in risk assessment and mitigation and for research.
Cyber Mission Thread Analysis
Cyber mission thread analysis (CMTA), which identifies mission-critical systems in a cyber threat environment, requires a disciplined, well-planned process for its execution. This report provides a proposed planning and implementation guide (1) to perform CMTA expeditiously while still giving results good enough to make decisions about mission criticality, and (2) to analyze multiple missions concurrently.
U.S. Alliance and Partner Networks
The Office of the Secretary of Defense asked the RAND Corporation to measure the strength and health of the United States' network of allies and partners. It did so with a view to determining how much the United States can continue to rely on that network in formulating and executing its defense strategy. Using network analysis, interdependence analysis, combinatorial optimization, and simulation, the RAND team constructed global networks representing diplomatic, military, and economic elements of national power in 1989, 2000, and 2017. The team then conducted an exploratory analysis of these networks separately and in combination. The team members compared the connections, centrality, inter...
Deter, Disrupt, Or Deceive
"The idea of "cyber war" has played a dominant role both in academic and popular discourses concerning the nature of statecraft and conflict in the cyber domain. However, this lens of war and its expectations for death and destruction may distort rather than help clarify the nature of cyber competition. Are cyber activities actually more like an intelligence contest, where both states and nonstate actors grapple for advantage below the threshold of war? This book debates that question. The contributors unpack the conceptual and theoretical logics of the framing of cyber competition as an intelligence contest, particularly in the areas of information theft and manipulation. Taken as a whole, the chapters give rise to a unique dialogue, illustrating areas of agreement and disagreement among leading experts, and placing all of it in conversation with the larger fields of international relations and intelligence studies"--
Socio-Political Risk Management
Managing risk necessitates an understanding of both how to avoid detrimental outcomes and to reap beneficial results. Organizations are regularly confronted with complex decisions involving risk and the impending consequences of the negative impact of its manifestation. However, the positive aspects of embracing risk should also be sufficiently evaluated to obtain a full assessment of opportunities. Socio-Political Risk Management: Assessing and Managing Global Insecurity covers a range of viewpoints and issues which can be applied to various organizational agency structures. These perspectives examine how social and political risk can impact an agency, and what recommendations are made to a...
