Russia has a broad concept of information security that is very different from the West. The September 2000Doctrine of Information Security of the Russian Federation— released shortly after Putin ascended into the Russian presidency—sets forth three objectives. The international front requires influencing the United Nations through the definition of terms, such as those pertaining to information weapons. A second approach on this front is the influence on the shaping international opinion on the development of the information society. The second prong pertains to the securing of domestic information security. The internal policies are aimed at technical issues such as cyber-crime and psychological issues such as the information-psychological stability of society. This is haughty language to say that the Russians do not like the threat from news sources external to the Russian Federation. The Russian policy makers understand the vulnerability of their society to disinformation provided from external sources. Finally, the third prong requires the military to modernize itself in both command-control and information-based equipment. It also recognizes the need to improve the psychological stability of its fighting force. The military needs to provide objective reporting to its soldiers to enhance their patriotism. The coach of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team, Herb Brooks, determined that in order to win against the Russians, the US would need to play the game the way the Russians played, only better. Brooks developed a hybrid of American and Canadian style and the faster European style, which emphasized creativity and teamwork. The strategy worked. In order for the US to succeed against the Russian cyber onslaught, we will need to adopt the same approach.
