From the first day Airmen put on the uniform, the Air Force enforces and re-enforces the necessity of good cyber hygiene through ongoing training.  Annual CyberAwareness training through the Air Force training site ADLS keeps Airmen vigilant and reminds them of the daily threats to the Air Force’s cyber culture.  

Airmen who want to know more about cyber security can find additional resources at the US-Cert NCAS website or “The Cyber Space” link maintained by the 24th Air Force.  Late in 2015, the Pentagon released the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Culture and Compliance Initiative.  DC3I outlines how the DoD plans to transform its cyber security culture by aligning cyber security strategy with future DoD cyber strategy.  From the bottom up the Air Force is committed to making cyber security the cultural norm.

At the core of today’s fast-paced world is the evolving cyber domain. Now, more than ever, Airmen use the Internet for personal pleasure and professional gain.

With information and entertainment easily accessible at a few taps of the fingertips, it is easy to fall prey to scammers and hackers if you lack cyber awareness. 

“As we discuss threats this National Cyber Security Awareness Month, we must remember the fundamental concept: a risk shared by one is a risk shared by all,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Darris Johnson, 19th Communications Squadron commander. “If we apply this concept to our physical homes, we realize leaving the door unlocked, losing keys, and inviting strangers into our home is the equivalent to leaving an unattended computer with the user logged in, losing passwords and authentication credentials, and responding to phishing emails or communicating with unknown entities, leaves us vulnerable.”
