Defense Strategies Institute

👏 Thanks Defense Strategies Institute for hosting me today to talk about how U.S. Cyber Command is approaching rapid adoption of AI solutions to strengthen U.S. Cyberspace. Some highlights: - CYBERCOM’s AI Roadmap charted the plan for how and when the Command will leverage AI technologies at scale; -The AI Task Force, stood up in the Cyber National Mission Force, is the focal point for AI and Machine Learning related activities across CYBERCOM and our component commands; -We already have key initiatives and wins leveraging AI as it relates to operationalizing our DARPA partnership, deploying AI models to our Hunt Forward capabilities, and integrating real-time monitoring for advanced actor behaviors. - Under CYBERCOM 2.0, we are developing options for SECDEF on the future of the Command and DOD Cyber. It goes hand-in-glove with our new service-like authorities and is aimed at generating a more capable, more talented, and more lethal force. -One of the most important initiatives at CYBERCOM is our laser focus on our workforce. Our priorities are qualitative excellence and mastery of our force. We are not going to have the most cyber operators, but we will have the best.

Today we remember and honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. This day forever changed our history, and as we reflect on the courage and sacrifice of that tragic day, we are reminded of the unity that emerged in the face of adversity. Together, we stand in remembrance and reaffirm our commitment to the values that define us. #NeverForget #PatriotDay #UnitedWeStand
