一、美国军政要闻
1 洛克希德马丁公布网络作战平台原型
Lockheed Martin Reimagines Future Warfare with Henosis
洛克希德公司为该计划设计的原型是一个名为“Henosis”（古希腊语，意思是联合、统一）的联合集成任务系统。该公司2018年3月6日发布新闻稿称，Henosis原型相当于“网络航母”，可以将网络效应整合到多领域海陆空和太空作战行动中。它是一个集成多个系统的系统，相当于一款指挥与控制作战管理可视化工具，主要作用是协调攻防网络行动，以及网络情报、监视和侦察活动（ISR）。该系统允许操作人员获取访问权限，制订作战任务要求，并开发自定义应用程序包，以执行任务。[aviationtoday.com, 2018年3月7日]
Henosis is the Greek word for the concept of oneness or unity. There's an interesting juxtaposition in the fact that Lockheed Martin has chosen Henosis as the name for the new joint integrated mission system it is developing for the U.S. Air Force; it is simultaneously perfectly fitting for the omnipresent cyber solution the company has planned and seemingly antithetical to the goal of diffusing command and empowering different units to make independent, informed decisions.

2 抵消“网络火力”，美军组建前线 CEMA 战队
Army developing expeditionary cyber-electromagnetic teams to support tactical commanders
CSCB 项目旨在探索哪些功能可被集成至战术单元之内，而不再始终依赖于远程实现方式。美国陆军正在组建一支前线 CEMA 战队，这是一支在网络司令部内推荐建立的可扩展式部队结构，负责为各旅团提供目前尚无法实现的攻击与防御网络作战、电子作战分析以及信息作战能力。在项目完成之前，美国陆军网络司令部将提前180天与各旅团负责人共同向指挥官询问与战事任务相关的具体情况，并据此调整团队构成及能力。[army.mil, 2018年3月8日]
The CEMA teams themselves are becoming integrated as well, with specialists from cyber, military intelligence, electronic warfare, signals intelligence and sometime space coming together to deliver effects to the maneuver commander the ARCYBER CEMA Support to Corps and Below chief, success for the brigade combat team in the cyberspace domain begins at the D-180 planning conference -- 180 days before the unit's NTC rotation.

五、硅谷之声
在3600名受访者中，几乎所有的受访者都表示，他们希望人工智能和机器学习能够帮助管理安全警报，并且“在超过1/3的时间内可以保持防御状态”，思科安全业务部门的架构师Franc Artes说。超过半数的受访者表示，他们现在把安全咨询外包了，47％的受访者表示把事件响应外包了。“他们认识到这是一个非常有限的技能组合，当他们遇到事故时，让专业人员来快速处理并减少停机期间发生的运营成本，这一点非常重要，”他说。
Almost all respondents said they're hoping AI and machine learning will help manage security alerts, and "get the defensive line out on the field more than one-third of the time," Artes said. More than half of respondents said they are now outsourcing security consulting, and 47 percent are outsourcing incident response. "They recognize it's a very finite skill set and when they have an incident it's important to have professionals that can clear it very quickly and reduce the operational cost incurred during an outage," Franc Artes, architect in Cisco's security business group said.
