Admiral Rogers | Future Proves Past | Defending Critical Infrastructure in the Private Sector
"The Third Mission for US CYBER COMMAND is, if Directed by the President or the Secretary of Defense, is to apply our capabilities to help defend critical infrastructure in the United States in the Private Sector.
The United States Government has designated 16 different segments in the private sector as having significant implications for the Nations security.
So, think about Financial, think about Power, think about Aviation, think about Petroleum Distribution… There's 16 different segments…
And so Part of our Third and Final Mission is to be ready, if we're tasked to do so… To help defend that infrastructure.
So, I find myself in these two jobs, at a crossroads between Cyber and Signals Intelligence."
