The 3 Most Important Considerations in a Cyber Warfare Center

December 6, 2021 by Jamie Clark

Do you know what\’s necessary for a successful cyber warfare center that is both functional and effective? There are some important considerations when planning, designing, and building a center for one of the most prolific types of warfare in modern times. Here are three of the most important things to consider during the design process.

#1: Technology Procurement and Setup

The most important factor in a successful cyber warfare center is the staff. Analyst quality is your priority, far above analyst quantity. Once you have the right people, they need the right tools to do the right job.

Technology is at the top of the list of considerations when planning the control room. Security technology has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. There is a growing number of manufacturers and options available. Control room designers must consider network mapping, intrusion detection and prevention, network activity collection and detonation devices, security information management and storage, and log management appliances. Also, you need to consider your AV and monitoring needs. This is where the control room design is so important.

AV integration into your other tech needs is vital to a fully functional and effective control room. This is especially important when it comes to a cyber warfare center. The design and the IT and AV solutions are among the most important considerations.

#2: Risk Mitigation

Advances in technology have made cyber warfare centers effective. Attackers use these same technologies when exposing and assaulting victims, not just military and political, but civilians and businesses as well. That\’s why risk mitigation is a key factor in a control room.

Access to information, tools, and technology must be under the strictest security. Designing the control room is part of the risk management process. Industry standards and best practices, along with experience and know-how, all come into play to make sure the risks of issues with the room itself, as well as the work in it, are minimal.

#3: Detailed and Secure Planning, Design, and Build

When building a security center from the ground up, or even retrofitting one to fit your needs, you need to feel secure in the planning, design and build process. There should be a set of steps that lead from inception to completion. These steps should include consideration of sightlines, lighting, traffic patterns, and staff workflow. These steps should also consider equipment and technology requirements, operational and functional needs, scale, comfort, and aesthetics, in addition to technology and risk management. Working with the right team will ensure an effective cyber command HQ.

There\’s more to creating a control room than most people can imagine. This is never truer than in a setting that needs to consist of cutting edge technology and state of the art security. For more information on all the considerations that should go into your cyber warfare center design, contact our team of experts who\’ve done it at Fountainhead Control Rooms.
