With both public and private digital networks increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks from domestic and foreign adversaries alike, the National Guard is launching its annual, unclassified Cyber Shield exercise from June 5 to 17 to further safeguard federal networks.
“Cyber Shield 2022 is putting the spotlight on that primary mission this year,” Maj. Gen. Richard Neely said. “The Department of Defense and the private sector need to continue to work together to develop cyber defense together to share best practices and protect our infrastructure.”
Over 800 members of the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, based in the Department of Homeland Security, will join National Guard members in digital training exercises in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
