Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard Webber discusses path to strong cyber defense — Defense Systems
It’s been a year since the Air Force established the 24th Air Force, the Air Force Space Command subordinate unit in command of all Air Force networks and cyber operations. Based at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, the cyber numbered air force is the operational arm of Air Force Space Command’s network operations and cyber warfare mission.
The 24th has ramped up rapidly to an initial operating capability. But Maj. Gen. Richard Webber, its commander, still sees a long, difficult road ahead for the 24th and for the Air Force’s enterprise networks. In an interview with Defense Systems contributing editor Sean Gallagher, he highlighted the work that’s been done to build a true cyber capability in the Air Force, the concept of operations that guides the 24th and the work left to do to achieve the Air Force’s cyber goals.
