Indopacom Cyberspace Operations – Integrated Planning Element (CO-IPE) Director Capt. Ron Arellano also serves as a liaison naval officer for U.S. Cyber Command. His role carries a lot of insight into cybersecurity posture and translating policy to ensure an integrated partner environment.
Arellano discussed at AFCEA TechNet Indo-Pacific in Honolulu some of his key priorities and challenges in cybersecurity operations within the Indo-Pacific theater. He emphasized the importance of building strong relationships with allies, partners and local government agencies to enhance the security of shared systems and infrastructure. He also cited the need to integrate cyberspace operations across all Indopacom activities, moving away from the traditional siloed approach.
