Capt Justin Smith, USAF
Cyber Warfare Planner
315th Cyberspace Operations Squadron


I have served in the USAF for 6 years as a Cyberspace Operations Officer where I have held a variety of positions with varying responsibilities to include leading 67 Airmen conducting enterprise system administration, vulnerability assessments, and enterprise patch management for the $1B Air Force Network. During my time at the 92d Cyberspace Operations Squadron, I was a Cyber Protection Team Lead where I led 39 defensive cyberspace operators in executing incident response, threat hunting, and risk assessments across a variety of Air Force weapon system platforms and networks. Lastly, in my current role, I work on a National Support Team within the Cyber National Mission Force where I am responsible for defending the nation's critical infrastructure and key resources from nation state adversaries in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security.
