Even as Russian hackers gained access to thousands of anti-doping agency emails and records, leaders were setting up the National Cybersecurity Center in Colorado Springs. The goal of the center is to raise awareness of cyber dangers and to share tactics and techniques to thwart hackers across the public and private sectors.
Vance Brown, who heads the center, said the only way hackers can be stopped is if entire communities take steps to defend themselves. Another factor that makes the Pikes Peak region more prepared to take on hackers is a Pentagon mandate.
And, as of Dec. They are also required to report hacking attempts to the Defense Department, which shares the information so contractors have the latest intelligence on threats. Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams, whose agency just earned top national honors for election security, said incidents including the Russian military hack targeting Colorado Springs, have local governments, businesses and nonprofits on the lookout for hackers.
While businesses and nonprofits may be ready to repel hordes of Russian hackers, the federal government is apparently still weighing how to respond. For years, politicians, generals, experts and activists have argued about how the military, intelligence agencies and other national interests should react to hacking.

But despite several Russian provocations, U. Hayden said while the Trump administration has pondered counterattacks, those plans have been quickly shelved. In Colorado, National Guard boss Loh said deterrence could be a key tool in fending off future attacks. But triggering an online fight could be worse for the United States than its enemies, Kitchen warned.
America has become a nation with a smartphone in every pocket. No other nation is so tied to life online. But in the absence of a stronger response, Russia shows no signs of slowing its military hacking programs. Tom Roeder is the Gazette's City Editor.
