The United States is sending more of its cyber forces abroad to help foreign governments fight hackers, a top US military official said at the RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco
In the last three years, the U.S. military’s Cyber National Mission Force has conducted 47 such “hunt forward” defensive operations across 20 countries at the invitation of those nations, U.S. Army Major General William Hartman said on Monday.
The initiative reflects a broader push by the U.S. government to improve collaboration with foreign allies on combating cyber crimes, which often cross borders. Some of the largest known ransomware criminal gangs, for instance, have targeted multiple countries, including the United States. “Those are defense teams we send, and hunt for shared adversaries, find tools and capabilities,” Hartman said.
Both agencies had collaborated on thwarting potential attacks against three U.S. federal agencies by foreign adversaries, said Eric Goldstein, CISA’s executive assistant director.
