"The elevation of United States Cyber Command demonstrates our increased resolve against cyberspace threats and will help reassure our allies and partners and deter our adversaries," Trump said in a statement announcing the move.
Currently, Cyber Command falls under US Strategic Command, which also oversees US space operations, global strike and global missile defense. The elevation will mean the head of Cyber Command will eventually report directly to the secretary of defense.

Found THIS a few days ago...and thought it was odd how so many were leaving their IT/CIO jobs within a matter of weeks of each other. Don't trust drumf doing ANYTHING cyberwise...what is he up to now?

Kadakia’s departure is another in a spate of federal IT leaders moving on to new things. Last week alone the Office of Personnel Management’s CIO Dave DeVries, Navy CIO Rob Foster and Environmental Protection Agency CISO Sean Kelley all announced their upcoming departures. Additionally, later in the week, FedScoop learned that Agriculture Department CIO Jonathan Alboum has been reassigned within the agency.
