"US Space Force Requests $700M for Cybersecurity Blast Off"

US Space Force has recently requested a $700 million investment in cybersecurity as part of the military branch's overall $30 billion 2024 budget.  General Saltzman, chief of space operations, stated that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and ongoing war has made it clear that more must be done to defend critical networks.  Saltzman noted that investing in Space Force cybersecurity will enhance the cyber defense of its critical networks associated with space operations.  Saltzman said there's no question that space will be central to effective operations in the future.  In May 2022, Space Force added four squadrons to shore up cybersecurity throughout the branch and oversee an overhaul of the outdated Satellite Control Network.
