Cyberspace is one of the most critical areas of our nation’s defense and is a 24/7 responsibility for Soldiers stationed around the world as part of U.S. Army Cyber Command.
The U.S. Army Cyber Command engages in cyberwarfare against global cyber threats and adversaries, secures the country’s military data networks and weapons platforms, facilitates communications between joint military operations, and protects critical U.S. infrastructure. These elite cyber operators are highly trained to perform under pressure confidently, making them some of the most capable and combat-ready warriors in the U.S. military.
Major Erika Alvarado is a Cyber Operations Planner and Deputy Commander and Training Officer for the U.S. Army Reserve Cyber Protection Brigade – which supports the U.S. Army Cyber Command. In her role, Major Alvarado helps the Army keep pace with rapidly changing cyber capabilities and technologies to protect the country from cyber threats and attacks worldwide.
Major Alvarado enlisted in the Army Reserve at 17-years-old and today is one of the many skilled Army Soldiers serving our nation as the country’s first line of defense in cyberspace.
Cybersecurity is the fastest-growing field in the nation. The Army is well-positioned to train the next generation of cyber experts with opportunities to become analysts, coders, data scientists, and planners for roles in cyber operations, electronic warfare, cryptologic cyber intelligence, and more.
Major Alvarado will be available to discuss the importance of cybersecurity awareness, her role with the U.S. Army Cyber Command, and what it’s like to be engaged in today’s cyberspace fight.
