Army gets new leader for Cyber Center of Excellence
Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic assumed command of the Army Cyber Center of Excellence in a ceremony at Fort Eisenhower, Georgia, on Friday.
Janovic recently served as the director of operations at U.S. Cyber Command.
In his new position, he’ll be responsible for furthering the modernization of cyber, electronic warfare and communications from a doctrine and training perspective.
The Cyber Center of Excellence has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Army by developing doctrine and concepts for electromagnetic warfare, data and information advantage — all of which are expected to be key elements in future conflicts and play a bigger role than they did in the global war on terror.
Janovic takes over for Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton, who was nominated for his third star in June and tapped to be the next director of the Defense Information Systems Agency and commander of Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network (JFHQ-DODIN), a subordinate headquarters under Cybercom responsible for protecting and defending the Pentagon’s network globally.
Stanton has been at the Cyber Center of Excellence since June 2021 and was charged with helping the Army with its data problems as well as focusing on the future of cyber and electronic warfare.
Stanton is expected to take over for Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, who has led DISA since February 2021. Skinner was JFHQ-DODIN’s first deputy commander when it was first established.
