Recently I visited Navy Cyber Forces Command in the Hampton Roads area. After holding a great All Hands Call with our cyber warriors and reenlisting some motivated Sailors, I sat down with two Shipmates to discuss what our cyber forces do and why their mission is important. In this episode of “Conversation with a Shipmate,” we discuss cyber security and warfighting.
Understanding Cyber
All of us, not just cyber warriors, need to understand the role that cyber security plays in our everyday operations.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
The Electromagnetic spectrum is also a hot issue for our Navy, and the exploration of that focus area goes hand in hand with what we’re doing on the cyber warfront.
Warfighting on the Sea and in Cyberspace
The Navy is has an inherent and unique need to combat cyber threats. Our resources, ships and bases around the world are connected by the very networks our cyber warriors defend. I am proud of the Sailors and Civilians and their successes in the Cyber domain. I want thank these Shipmates who are doing real-world operations. These warfighters are keeping us, and our networks, safe.
