I spent a lot of time in the field training for combat and after hours of running around in the woods, we would need to stop and rest. Wherever the location that we decided to camp in the evenings to rest up, our leadership made sure that we had a good foundation to set up a defense.

Here are a few examples:

1. Never set up in an open field because then the adversary can see your strengths and weaknesses:
   • Cyber intelligence application:
     • Good training in security awareness will decrease one of the likelihoods of exploiting users
     • Reducing visibility (through collaboration between IT ops and IT security) for an adversary reduces the attack vectors
2. If you are going to get attacked, don't make it easy. Guide them to where your strengths are:
   • Cyber intelligence application: Active defense techniques—guide the adversaries to the locations where they will most likely be found out
3. Set up your camp in a location where you can observe the surrounding area to spot any movement:
   • Cyber intelligence application: Enabling good IT operations and InfoSec processes allows for identification of anomalies to the baseline
