Air Force Maj. Gen. Charles Moore will be the next No. 2 at U.S. Cyber Command, according to a June 9 announcement from the Department of Defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore, who will also receive his third star, is expected to take the reins from Vice. Adm. Ross Myers, the deputy commander who assumed the position in May 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his current role as the director of operations, J-3 at Cyber Command, Moore has helped bring the command\u2019s strategy of persistent engagement to operations, which is how the organizations seeks to implement the DoD\u2019s 2018 cyber strategy\u2019s call to \u201cdefend forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defend forward policy is best described as DoD working on foreign networks to prevent attacks before they happen. The way Cyber Command meets those goals is through persistent engagement, which means challenging adversary activities wherever they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
