00:00 How should we think about cybersecurity and how it fits within other warfighting domains?
00:48 Cyber is different from other domains.
01:30 Why cyber can't be treated as the "other" of the operational domain.
01:50 Looking at weapons systems and cybersecurity from an SPA perspective.
02:40 What is coming from SPA in the coming year.

In the final article of his Rethinking Cybersecurity series, SPA Strategic Growth and Business Analyst Michael Farren discusses cyber within the Department of Defense and offers his perspective on the difficulties of merging cybersecurity with traditional kinetic warfare. He offers insights for prioritizing cyber as a strategic domain in national security and explains why cyber responsibilities should shift from the J6 (IT) to the J3 (Operations), ensuring integration into mission-critical planning.

Mike proposes key policy changes for consideration:

* Reposition cybersecurity within operational command frameworks
* Build leadership-level training to elevate cyber literacy
* Increase interagency collaboration across DoD, DHS, and DOE
