House Hearing -- role of DoD in cyber
http://armedservices.house.gov/index...2-cb10ab20e579
I find it interesting that the witness panel only consists of industry and educational leaders. I would think that some other gov't reps would be there as well -- whether from DoD, DHS, FBI, etc. Granted, GEN Alexander has spent quite a bit of time on the Hill as part of his own confirmation hearings, so perhaps this is their attempt to get non-DoD perspectives.
I also wonder if a better question to be asked at this point is "what should be the Government's role" as opposed to DoD's role. National cyberspace defense will require a whole of gov't approach.
Germany's Cyber-War Intensifies
The threat of cyber-war--and of a catastrophic hacker attack to Germany's industrial or military infrastructure--is spurring the creation of two new high-level government organizations.

The Federal Republic of Germany has just released a
comprehensive cyber-security strategy [PDF] that will create two high-level government agencies devoted exclusively to cyber-war. Germany's move to mobilize for cyber-war is one of the boldest Internet decisions made by a European power in years.
