A 6,200-strong Cyber Mission Force will be assembled, comprised of military, civilian and defense contractors, and 133 cyber protection and combat teams will be operating by 2018.

In unveiling the Defense Department's new cyberwar strategy on Thursday during a speech at Stanford University, Defense Secretary Ash Carter sent a stern message to cyber adversaries: America's "preference for deterrence and our defensive posture doesn't diminish our willingness to use cyber options if necessary," reported Stanford News.

The 42-page strategy, for the first time publicly, lays out circumstances which would justify the deployment of cyberweapons against an attacker.
