WEBVTT 00:01.269 --> 00:04.929 CNMF . To me is a team of highly 00:04.940 --> 00:07.380 motivated joint service personnel and 00:07.389 --> 00:09.930 civilians who are dedicated towards a 00:09.939 --> 00:12.310 common goal to defend America and its 00:12.319 --> 00:13.659 partner networks , 00:19.930 --> 00:21.819 mission of Cyber National Mission 00:21.819 --> 00:23.930 Forces to defend the nation . CNMF is 00:23.930 --> 00:26.569 made up of all branches of service . So 00:26.579 --> 00:28.690 what's interesting about CNMF and its 00:28.690 --> 00:30.412 posture is we rely on a lot of 00:30.412 --> 00:32.246 different skill sets while Cyber 00:32.246 --> 00:34.468 command does the strategic planning and 00:34.468 --> 00:36.523 global coordinations for Cyber ops . 00:37.034 --> 00:39.201 Cyber National Mission Force is one of 00:39.201 --> 00:40.994 the execution arms . My job 00:41.005 --> 00:42.949 specifically is to chase malicious 00:42.949 --> 00:45.172 cyber actors on behalf of CNMF , I have 00:45.172 --> 00:47.394 personally never been able to work with 00:47.394 --> 00:49.616 the smartest individuals from all walks 00:49.616 --> 00:51.561 of life until I came here . Such a 00:51.561 --> 00:53.860 great opportunity to really be on the 00:53.869 --> 00:57.189 front of the cyber environment . It's a 00:57.200 --> 00:59.200 dynamic environment . You got to be 00:59.200 --> 01:00.978 ready to work hard . One of our 01:00.978 --> 01:03.089 strengths as a Cyber National Mission 01:03.089 --> 01:05.129 Force is we go where we know the 01:05.139 --> 01:07.769 adversaries are hunt forward , we meet 01:07.779 --> 01:10.175 with partner nations that have maybe 01:10.184 --> 01:12.985 had a compromise on one of their 01:12.995 --> 01:15.684 networks and they say , hey , us , can 01:15.694 --> 01:18.165 you come help us identify what is this 01:18.175 --> 01:20.342 threat on our network . How do we take 01:20.342 --> 01:22.397 care of it ? What are the best steps 01:22.397 --> 01:24.619 forward altogether ? It's a really good 01:24.619 --> 01:27.745 partnership . We're specifically tasked 01:27.754 --> 01:29.865 with targeting those key nation state 01:29.865 --> 01:31.865 actors , which are a very important 01:31.865 --> 01:33.976 role within the overall cyber command 01:33.976 --> 01:36.032 mission . But our unique authorities 01:36.032 --> 01:38.050 that we carry um and being able to 01:38.059 --> 01:40.480 provide both that intel support uh 01:40.489 --> 01:42.879 working with our interagency partners , 01:42.889 --> 01:45.111 uh integrating all of those things with 01:45.111 --> 01:47.278 both our cyberspace operations and our 01:47.278 --> 01:49.500 information operations is a very unique 01:49.500 --> 01:51.722 aspect that the CNMF is able to provide 01:51.722 --> 01:54.510 to Cyber command as a whole on a daily 01:54.519 --> 01:56.575 basis . I'm making an impact and I'm 01:56.575 --> 01:58.686 part of a bigger picture and making a 01:58.686 --> 02:00.809 change for real world effects that I 02:00.819 --> 02:02.819 will see on the news in a couple of 02:02.819 --> 02:06.790 weeks . There's no 02:06.800 --> 02:09.139 better feeling than prevent something 02:09.149 --> 02:11.260 from happening . This is rewarding to 02:11.260 --> 02:13.509 me because it has a direct impact on 02:13.520 --> 02:15.520 our way of life and defense of this 02:15.520 --> 02:18.089 nation . You will be able to have a 02:18.100 --> 02:21.190 direct impact to everyday life for the 02:21.199 --> 02:23.310 better of the nation . You definitely 02:23.310 --> 02:25.421 leave work every day with the feeling 02:25.421 --> 02:27.477 that you have accomplished something 02:27.477 --> 02:29.532 and that what you're doing matters . 02:29.532 --> 02:31.755 It'd be hard to say that anyone's doing 02:31.755 --> 02:33.366 it better . I'm an Air Force 02:33.366 --> 02:35.169 Intelligence officer . I am a 02:35.179 --> 02:37.350 cyberspace operations planner . We 02:37.360 --> 02:39.582 defend the nation against militia cyber 02:39.582 --> 02:41.960 actors . I am we are Cyber National 02:41.970 --> 02:42.789 Mission Force
