Risky Bulletin: Gen. Joshua Rudd confirmed as next CyberCom and NSA head

The US Senate confirmed Army Lt. Gen. Joshua M. Rudd as the next leader of US Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and the National Security Agency (NSA) in a 71-29 vote. Rudd will replace interim chief Army Lt. Gen. William Hartman in leading both agencies.

Why it matters: Security practitioners should monitor leadership changes at CYBERCOM and NSA, as they set national cybersecurity priorities, threat intelligence sharing, and incident response coordination that directly affect federal and critical infrastructure defense strategies.
