General Details Cyberspace Road Map

In October, Maj. Gen. Suzanne Vautrinot, USAF, director of plans and policy, U.S. Cyber Command, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, spoke to a crowd of approximately 160 members on the evolution of cyberspace and the functions of the new command. She specifically outlined numerous challenges of protecting information and what practices the new command must address and instill in developing U.S. cyber warfighters. The general emphasized that it is imperative that both the offensive and defensive cyber warfare teams share practices and intrusion results in order to best posture our information technology resources from future attacks. In this era of limited resources, she emphasized that the U.S. may have to limit the quantity of its resources in order to pay for the services to protect them. Gen. Vautrinot also addressed a concern regarding the lengthy and bureaucratic logistics cycle that now exists and says she feels positive improvements in shortening that procurement time are around the corner.
