Importance To National Security

Both cybersecurity engineering and cybersecurity offensive operations are crucial components of national security for several reasons (Nobles, 2023):

Protection of Critical Infrastructure- Critical infrastructure relies heavily on information technology, such as power grids, water supplies, and transportation systems. Effective cybersecurity engineering helps safeguard these vital systems against cyber threats that could disrupt essential services.

National Defense- Cybersecurity offensive operations are essential for intelligence gathering, detecting potential threats, and responding to cyberattacks from foreign adversaries. Offensive operations can help deter malicious actors from targeting national interests.

Economic Security- The economy depends on secure digital infrastructure. Cybersecurity engineering helps protect businesses and financial institutions from cyberattacks that could lead to financial losses and economic instability.

Protection of National Secrets- Offensive operations protect classified information and national secrets from espionage and unauthorized access.
