Consequently, military network operators keep allied forces connected and fully protected. In addition, defense commanders maintain tactical readiness against sophisticated global threats.

“As large-scale cyberattacks continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, defending the Army’s networks is not just an IT mission it is a national security imperative,” said Tom Afferton, President of Cyber and Intelligence at Peraton. “Through always-on cyber defenses, Peraton brings the trust and technical expertise needed to ensure that U.S. Armed Forces and allied partners can operate with confidence in an increasingly contested digital battlespace.”

The operational headquarters is based right out of Clay Kaserne in Wiesbaden. This makes it a strategic hub for important military and diplomatic communications traffic. The center, in particular, is the main regional center for cyber defense. “Every day, military technicians operate and protect vital global network pathways. In addition, secured channels are a constant, heavy reliance for ground forces. Military leaders can safely plan, coordinate, and sustain tactical field operations.
