Although a few weeks have passed since this story originally came out, I thought I would bring it to the attention to our readers. Last month (Feb. 11, 2008), Marty Graham of Wired wrote the article, “Welcome to Cyberwar Country, USA”, which highlights the Air Force’s new Cyber Command. Cyber Command is dedicated to fighting the next frontier of the military battlefied, cyber space. Interesting indeed. This move certainly signifies that governments are stepping up to the plate and realize the importance of staying ahead of the game. To read the entire artilce, please see:

It is also worth noting that the Air Force has launched a video recruitment campaign for Cyber Command. Kevin Poulsen on the Wired Blog Network (Feb. 27, 2008) covers it here:
