Radm Marshall Lytle: [inaudible 00:00:01] is pretty set and since we started up as a command several years ago we were kind of in the same line. We have five major priorities. First is a training ready cyber force. We need to have the people trained and ready to manage and operate in this environment.
The second is the defensible architecture across the Department of Defense and that’s where we get into the GIE angle. We have to have an architecture that we can defend and maintain.
The third is situational awareness. In order to have that mission force capable and have that architecture there, we have to be able to have awareness of what’s going on in the infrastructure so that we can see what -- see the threats, see what the responses are going to be.
The fourth one is command and control, because once we have that awareness and we have the cyber force and we have the architecture, we have to have ability to reach out and manage that. So we have to have a command and control structure in place we can operate in cyber space.
And our last, our fifth priority is authorities and policy. As we move in the cyberspace the authorities and policies on how who can do what and where can it be done are still not quite defined. There are different pieces of the authorities throughout our government that we need to work on and work with the legislature on getting everything lined up so that we can operate and we can respond in a timely fashion in case an attack comes.
JIm Flyzik: Right. Very good.
