  What is Cyberspace?

Cyberspace is the modulation of electromagnetic energy to achieve a wide range of communication and control system capabilities. It integrates sensors, signals, connections, transmissions, processors, and controllers to create an interdependent network of information technology infrastructures and telecommunications networks. From a military perspective, cyberspace is a domain for both strategic and tactical operations characterized by the use of electronics and the electromagnetic spectrum to store, modify, and exchange data via networked systems and associated physical infrastructures. Cyberspace is not a mission; it is a place where the full range of missions is conducted. The term cyberspace was coined by the science fiction author William Gibson in his 1982 story “Burning Chrome” and popularized by his 1984 novel Neuromancer.

  The Cyber 1.0 agenda includes:

• A “cyber reality” discussion that explores the pervasive influence of the cyber domain on myriad aspects of modern life
• A look at cyberspace from a Department of Defense perspective;
• A detailed overview of the 24th Air Force cyberspace mission, including presentations from the 24th Air Force, the 688th Information Operations Wing, the 67th Network Warfare Wing, and the 689th Combat Communications Wing;
• Interactive demonstrations from AFSPC Command Units and commercial cyberspace providers;
• A detailed discussion of cyber acquisition policies and procedures; and more.
