Airmans Perspective Airmen think of airpower & the application of force from a functional rather than geographical perspective. Airmen leverage speed, range, flexibility, precision, time, and lethality to create effects from and within all domains. Cyberspace operations are intrinsic to the conduct of modern airpower. Airmen conduct greatest percentage of global operations. Operations should be tightly integrated with capabilities of the air and space domains and should be commanded by an Airman who takes a broader view of war

Slide 36

Become a cyber defender. Dont open attachments or click on links unless the email is digitally signed. Dont connect any hardware or download any software, applications, music or information onto our network without approval. Encrypting sensitive but unclassified and/or mission critical information. Have a general understanding of the cyberspace domain as well as basic threats, vulnerabilities, and common countermeasures that any Airman can employ. Where You Fit Into the Fight

Slide 37

1.The United States is vulnerable to cyberspace attacks by relentless adversaries attempting to infiltrate our networks at work and at home millions of times a day, 24/7. Ten Things a Cyber Wingman Should Know 2. Our enemies plant malicious code, worms, botnets, and hooks in common websites, software, and hardware such as thumb drives, printers, etc. 3. Once implanted, this code begins to distort, destroy, and manipulate information, or phone it home. Code allows our adversaries to obtain higher levels of credentials to access highly sensitive information. 4. The enemy attacks your computers at work and at home knowing you communicate with the Air Force network by email, or transfer information from one system to another. 5. As cyber wingmen, you have a critical role in defending your networks, your information, your security, your teammates, and your country. 6. You significantly decrease our enemies access to our networks, critical USAF information and even your personal identity by taking simple action. 7. Dont open attachments or click on links unless the email is digitally signed or you can directly verify the source, even if it appears to be from someone you know. 8. Do not connect any hardware or download any software applications, music, or information onto our networks without approval. 9. Encrypt sensitive but unclassified and/or critical information. Ask your computer systems administrator (CSA) for more information. 10. Install the free Department of Defense anti-virus software on your home computer. Your CSA can provide you with your free copy.
