US Defense Department Outlines Fight Against Transnational Cybercrime

issues that affect real people, uh, that have been ignored for far too long,

and using the entirety of the government to attack that problem.

And that's why we're proud to be here with the chief, with Cash, with Todd, with,

with Mark Wayne, with Steven, with Sean, uh, and everybody at

this table, uh, who's working shoulder to shoulder to

address this.

I mean, at the War Department, we've done the same on the southwest

border with our

interagency partners on law enforcement in cities all across America,

uh, in mass deportations of illegals who, who, uh, we're, we're proud to have the

assets to be able to support that directly, and now with CYBERCOM, and

NSA, and the, the exquisite capabilities

that the War Department has.

So in March, when you issued that executive order, Mr.

President, we immediately started working with the

Justice Department, and Homeland

Security, and Treasury, and State to get after transnational

intelligence and technical capabilities that we can use to directly

support the attorney general and the secretary of Homeland Security.

So we're, we're feeding our deep intelligence

and tracking data on

overseas cyber networks directly to the National Coordination Center and

Homeland Security Task Force, and this ensures

that law enforcement has what it

and dismantle these criminal enterprises and criminal networks.

Because we've also seen there's a very clear connection between

transnational cyber syndicates and enemy militaries, and how they fund

themselves, how they support what their activities.

So if they can't match us or beat us on the battlefield,

which they can't, then

of course they try to move to the realm of, of cyberspace to attack.

And by taking on these cyber criminals on offense and defense, uh,

we watch out for our warriors, we watch out for American citizens, and we

secure the homeland. So we're proud to be a part of,

work with the Homeland

Security Task Force and get after this problem set, Mr.

President. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You got it.

Steven?

Thank you, Mr. President. This is another example of

you solving a problem that has gone on for decades that
