But the Air Force is saying, actually, we also need to consider playing defense.

Right, so this follows their campaign plan for offensive operations.

So now they've designed a defensive cyber operations campaign plan in light of a lot of these new and emerging threats like agentic AI that is really difficult to defend against.

They wanted a plan to be able to set priorities and determine where they're at, if they're falling behind, how can they get back on track to defend against these models.

There seem to be four lines of general effort though.

That's right, Lee.

So the first one is really just to kind of harden their networks, blunt the attack.

This is using their cyber SWAT teams, if you will, to hunt the network for various adversary malicious activity.

What happened at Augusta?

Sure.

So senior Army officials from the principal cyber advisor to the commander of Army Cyber Command stressed that they are all in on artificial intelligence.

They're really trying to use it to automate human tasks, and really the key is humans can't react as quickly as computers are, and adversaries are using artificial intelligence to probe the network, conduct cyber attacks, and there's just no way to be able to keep up with that from a human-centric perspective.

That came, came up quite a bit.

That's right.

Uh, so the Army has taken a little bit of a different approach.

They're trying to leverage commercial first.
