A cyber command will be created by Pentagon, which oversee the US military’s efforts to protect its computer assets and also operate in cyberspace. The new headquarters will be likely in Fort Meade, Maryland which is outside Washington. This command will be responsible for defending US military computer assets but not other US government or private networks. This has been taken into consideration because of the number of attacks that were being directed to the country’s civilian or military networks. The US has also claimed that there are many attempts to penetrate its networks appear to come from China but now that has been declined. the new command will consolidate existing Pentagon efforts to protect its networks and operate in cyberspace. The new command should begin initial operations by this October and be fully up and running a year later.
