Gen. Raymond A. Thomas III


Instead of focusing the bulk of its resources on deflecting cyber breaches from adversaries, the U.S. military must place more emphasis on developing its offensive cyber capability, said the commander of Special Operations Command on Dec. 13.

“While defending is paramount, arguably … the greatest space for advancement is in the realm of attack and exploit,” said Gen. Raymond A. Thomas III. “We have the technology, we just have to embrace … [cyber] as an essential weapon in our arsenal.”
