The cybersecurity and intelligence domains have recently witnessed a significant leadership transition. Gen. Timothy Haugh has taken over the reins as Commander of the U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and Director of the National Security Agency (NSA)/Chief of the Central Security Service (CSS) from Gen. Paul Nakasone. This change is significant when efforts to counter foreign election interference are critical.
Gen. Haugh has underscored the critical role of people, technological innovation, and partnerships in ensuring cybersecurity and foreign signals intelligence mission success. By placing immense trust in the personnel to execute missions in compliance with laws and values, Haugh has accentuated the significance of the human element in achieving mission success.
