Darren McDew, chief of U.S. Transportation Command, is striking a precarious balance between partnering with industry and ensuring the cybersecurity of systems critical to military transportation operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TRANSCOM, like the rest of the military, is heavily reliant contractors in virtually every facet of day-to-day functions. But even as leaders from across the Department of Defense call for improvements in industry partnerships, cybersecurity remains a sticking point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an April 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armed-services.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/McDew_04-10-18.pdf\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">testimony<\/a> before the Senate Armed Services Committee, McDew lamented \u201cthe inadequacy of implementing existing cybersecurity standards and the fact that DoD\u2019s extensive cyber protections do not extend to industry, critical vulnerabilities in our cyber security posture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2560\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg 3840w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635736849636406783-mcdewjpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Air Force Gen. Darren McDew attends a nomination hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Gen. Paul Selva was nominated to be Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Gen. McDew was nominated to be the commander of U.S. Transportation Command.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that 90 percent of military logistics and global movement operations are executed on unclassified commercial networks that are beyond his control \u2013 and they\u2019re also the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDefending DoD information on those commercial networks goes beyond the authority of a single combatant commander,\u201d he said in his written testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McDew outlined some of his command\u2019s efforts to address cyber vulnerabilities, including instituting better cyber training, engaging industry in dialogue and information-sharing, and modifying contracts to include IT and cybersecurity measures targeting compliance and assessments. McDew also said \u201ccyber events\u201d have been incorporated into major training exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TRANSCOM chief also highlighted the command\u2019s future-facing efforts, including a department-wide transition to all digital applications to the cloud \u2013 expected to be complete in summer 2018 \u2013 and partnerships with the Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental, Defense Digital Services and the Strategic Capabilities Office to build a forthcoming \u201cdata lake\u201d to be tapped for logistical command, control and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTransitioning our systems to the cloud and building the data lake are the foundational steps to realizing the potential in future technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and autonomy,\u201d he said. \u201cFocusing on these technologies will also allow the enterprise to pursue a future in autonomous systems \u2013 trucks that drive themselves, ships that can navigate oceans without human inputs, and wide-body aircraft that can land on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Capitol Hill, the TRANSCOM chief outlined cyber worries and futuristic
