General Nakasone reflected on his nearly four decades of service and highlighted the invaluable contributions of those he served alongside, attesting to the critical and exemplary work of NSA and U.S. Cyber Command professionals. He noted that it due to their efforts the U.S. and our allies have the ability to “see first, know first, and often act first.” Concluding his remarks, General Nakasone looked ahead and called for IC professionals to rise to meet the challenges of our time, uphold the values we cherish, and safeguard our nation with unwavering resolve.
