[pchelpers] Article: Is the U.S. ready for government-sponsored cyberattacks?

consider responding in kind

If there’s a sudden cyberattack on the U.S. Navy, Jim Granger could be
among the first to know since it’s his job to keep watch.

“We monitor the Navy’s grid,” says Granger, who is director of
capabilities and readiness at the Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command
in Norfolk, Va., home to the Naval Network Warfare Command. Granger
works with a team of cyber-defense operations specialists in a security
operations center, hunkered down behind computers to keep an eye on
networks the Navy uses -- such as the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet -- both
on land and at sea.
