His PhD is from the University of California, Davis. Steven P. Bucci is the senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation for all issues involving homeland security and defense. Bucci has more than thirty years of leadership experience and has held key leadership positions in the 82nd Airborne, the 5th and the 7th Special Forces. Bucci served as the deputy assistant secretary of defense, homeland defense, and defense support for civil authorities, overseeing policy issues involving the defense domains (air, land, and maritime), National Guard domestic operational issues, domestic counterterrorism, and Department of Defense responses to natural and man-made disasters, acting as the primary civilian oversight of US Northern Command. Bucci also helped lead the Department of Defense response to the growing cyber security threats facing the United States. He has published numerous articles on cyber security issues and is a regular cyber contributor to Security Debrief, a leading national security blog. He speaks at cyber-related conferences and is widely sought for his insights into cyber issues. He is an adjunct professor at George Mason University. Jeffrey R. Cooper, technical fellow, is a Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) vice president for technology and chief innovation officer for a major SAIC business unit.

Contributors Hopkins University. In addition to a long-standing focus on strategic analysis and military transformation, his core interest is in using information to improve intelligence analysis, decision making, command and control, and operational effectiveness in order to enhance US national security. Cooper is a founding member of the Highlands Forum, an Office of the Secretary of Defense–sponsored program to identify cutting-edge technological developments that affect national security. He has served in several senior government positions, including White House staff and assistant to the secretary of energy. Cooper’s recent work emphasizes cyber issues—cyber deterrence in particular—building on his vast experience with nuclear deterrence and strategic planning. In addition, for the past several years, his focus has been largely on intelligence matters, with particular emphasis on analytic failures and methods to improve all-source analysis capabilities. Cooper’s research interests also include the implications of complex systems and complexity on analysis and decision making . He was a professional staff member of the Presidential Commission on Future Intelligence Capabilities (the Silberman-Robb Commission), chaired senior panels for the director of national intelligence’s Quadrennial Intelligence Community Review, and has been actively involved in work on the revolution in intelligence affairs and intelligence transformation. Chris Demchak has a PhD in political science from Berkeley with a focus on organization theory, security, and surprise in complex technical systems across nations, and also holds an MPA economic development (Princeton) and an MA in energy engineering (Berkeley). She has published numerous articles on societal security dif- ficulties with large-scale information systems, security institutions, and new resilient organization models. Demchak has taught undergraduate- and graduate-level courses on comparative security and modernized organizations, the institutional history of war and the state, the emerging global information systems, and the worldwide diffusion of defense technologies to include the use of game-based simulations in security analysis. She has completed a co-edited book, Designing Resilience (with L. Comfort and A. Boin), and a forthcoming book, Wars of Disruption and Resilience : Cybered Conflict...
