Description 1 online resource (32 pages) : illustrations Summary In 2013, the Pentagon's Defense Science Board conducted a major study of the resilience of U.S. defense systems to cyberattacks. The results were deeply unsettling: the board found that the military's systems were vulnerable and that the government was "not prepared to defend against this threat. The report made clear that "systems and forces" include nuclear weapons and related nuclear command, control, and communications systems. Today, that fact remains the chilling reality. This new report addresses cyber risks to nuclear weapons systems and offers recommendations developed by a group of high-level former and retired government officials, military leaders, and experts in nuclear systems, nuclear policy, and cyber threats Notes "September 2018"--Cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF cover page (NTI, viewed October 12, 2018) Subject Nuclear arms control -- Security measures Nuclear terrorism -- Prevention Cyberinfrastructure -- Security measures.
