a) Creation of Cyber Command

The creation of the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) demonstrates the U.S. government’s response to the challenges of cybersecurity and international espionage. Established in 2009, this unit within the Department of Defense is responsible for defending national security networks and conducting cyberspace operations. Its formation reflects the growing recognition of cyber threats as a major security concern and the need for specialized capabilities to protect against cyber attacks and cyber espionage. USCYBERCOM plays a crucial role in the U.S.’s defense strategy in the digital age.
