The next President will be the first to inherit a military force structure for cyberspace operations charged with three missions: defend the military's networks and systems; provide offensive cyber support to regional military commands; and defend the nation from a cyberattack of significant consequences. The President will also inherit a military, an economy and a society that are significantly and increasingly vulnerable to cyberattack, so establishing priorities and guidelines for cyber defense and offense must be a priority.
