Panel: From Keystroke to Kill Chain: Cyberspace as the Decisive Domain (Cyber Components) (Room Primary Stage, Hall D)

Cyberspace is the dominant domain of modern warfare — not one of the domains, not a supporting domain, THE dominant domain. Every military operation today depends on dominance in cyberspace. The nation that dominates it shapes the outcome of every other domain. That nation must be us.

  • Every domain of modern warfare runs through cyberspace — command and control, satellites, logistics, communications. The nation that dominates cyberspace shapes the outcome of every other domain.
  • The United States has an extraordinary foundation: the Cyber Mission Force, Hunt Forward operations across dozens of allied nations, record investment in the FY2027 defense budget, and CYBERCOM 2.0 approved.
  • The moment demands different thinking. CYBERCOM must perform like cyberspace is the dominant domain — not someday, but now.
