E240: $929,892 (SFY 18) - $904,974 (SFY 19) Southern Nevada Training Academy This request will allow the Department to conduct four academies per year
The southern academy will be in addition to the northern academy
The southern academy will appeal to more candidates in the southern Nevada region
Staffing for the southern academy will mirror the northern academy with 4 DPS Officers, 1 Sergeant, and 1 Captain to oversee and manage both locations
The southern academy has been temporarily located at the National Guard in Las Vegas, pending a suitable permanent location
By having an academy every 3 months, it lessens the likelihood of losing approved candidates to other law enforcement agencies simply because their academy starts first

The Cyber Defense office will:
• Position Nevada to manage a broad range of cyber threats and hazards effectively
• Coordinate cyber crime response across affected sectors or communities
• Establish principles governing the State’s response to any cyber incident, whether involving a government or private sector entities
• For significant incidents, the Office will set up guidelines to identify lead agency roles and architecture for coordinating a broader incident response

C-24
DPS Office of Cyber Defense
2/23/2017
Defining Cyber Attacks Cyber Incident: An event occurring on or conducted through a computer
network that actually or imminently jeopardizes the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of infrastructure controlled by computers or information systems, or information residing thereon. Such cyber incident may include vulnerability in an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or implementation that could be exploited by a threat source
Significant Cyber Incident: A cyber incident that is (or group of related cyber incidents that together are) likely to result in demonstrable harm to public safety or economic interests of the State or to the public confidence, civil liberties, or public health and safety of Nevada’s citizens

Why the Department of Public Safety? DPS already has the operational entities in place
Nevada Threat Analysis Center-NTAC:
Intelligence and threat monitoring

Investigation Division-NDI
Investigative Services
Division of Emergency Management-DEM
Planning and preparation
Response coordination

Why the DPS? - continued The Office of Cyber Security would not assume any role in operation of any
system infrastructure
The Director is the Chief Executive Officer of the Department and directs all administrative and technical activities of all the divisions
DPS’ divisions already regularly work together and in tandem on all cases that require multiple disciplines as well as coordinated efforts with local law enforcement as well as with federal partners
Example: Panaca
27
C-27
DPS Office of Cyber Defense
2/23/2017
The response activities to any cyber incident would include the following:
Conducting appropriate law enforcement investigative activity
Collecting evidence and gathering intelligence
Storing evidence
Linking related incidents
Identifying additional affected entities
Identifying threat pursuit and disruption opportunities
Developing and executing courses of action to mitigate the immediate threat
28
C-28
DPS Office of Cyber Defense
2/23/2017
Response Activities - continued
Facilitating information sharing, situational awareness, and operational coordination
Mitigating the impacts of cyber incidents
Identifying other entities that may be at risk and assessing their risk to the same or similar vulnerabilities
Assessing potential risks to sector or region
Providing guidance on how best to utilize State resources and capabilities in a timely, effective manner to speed recovery

In short, it’s about public safety
Modern cyber crime has the potential to disrupt or threaten entire sectors, industries, infrastructure or communities, i.e. transportation systems and utilities
Modern cyber attacks contain an organized criminal element that often have ties to other states or even other countries
In short, cyber defense is not about computers or computer networks; those are just the weapons. It is about public safety and the ability to respond to all types of criminal or public safety threats to Nevada
