Air Force and DoD Cyber Crime Center Officials Call for Greater Investment in Digital Forensics
This is a policy and governance commentary rather than a vulnerability or incident report. Speaking at the Datadog Threat Response Forum (produced by FedScoop), Wanda Jones-Heath, principal cyber adviser for the Department of the Air Force, said the U.S. government needs to invest more in digital forensics to keep pace with cyber incidents and threats, noting that forensics teams typically investigate "weeks and months after the incident has occurred." Jeffrey Hunt, global operations branch chief for the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, said at the same event that the divide between operations and security teams over network visibility needs to be addressed early, though he warned that merging the two functions into one unit is a "disaster." Jones-Heath also called for redesigning cyber exercises to better reflect real-world adversary behavior and to let cyber teams operate offensively and defensively during drills rather than only in reactive mode. The article contains no indicators of compromise, vulnerabilities, or specific incidents; it reflects internal U.S. military cyber policy discussion.
