Cyber Command Comedy: Ware Steps Up, Commander Still MIA!
Patrick Ware, after 34 years of cyber-sleuthing at NSA, is now the executive director of the United States Cyber Command. With a knack for strategic communication and innovation, he’s all set to lead Cyber Command into a new era. Meanwhile, the hunt for a permanent commander is still on.

Hot Take:
Patrick Ware stepping into the executive director role at the United States Cyber Command is like casting Gandalf to lead the Fellowship of the Ring – he’s got the experience, the wisdom, and the ability to pull off some serious cybersecurity magic. With 34 years at the NSA under his cloak (or should I say trench coat?), Ware is well-equipped to enchant the Command with strategic spells of communication, talent management, and innovation. As for the still-vacant commander position, let’s hope the White House doesn’t just pull a name out of a sorting hat.

- Patrick Ware named executive director of the United States Cyber Command.
- Ware has 34 years of experience at the NSA in offensive and defensive missions.
- Replaces Morgan Adamski, who served over a year in the role.
