Do we even know anything about their defensive operations?
I'm almost glad we don't since defensive capabilities are the kind of thing you'd rather not disclose to your adversary until you truly need to leverage them, but at the same time, with all the leaks, it's as if the NSA just runs offensive operations and reactive analysis/reconnaissance.
- wbl 10y agoYes. IPsec is widely used, and TLS on top of that with formally verified specialized implementations of IPsec. They also use data diodes, restricting the syntax of data that flows into and out of networks.
- eganist 10y agoI appreciate this, but I should clarify that I'm speaking specifically to active defense (hence defensive operations) rather than developing, publishing, and using defensive best practices, which I'd personally consider more passive than anything else.
