Robert Butler Appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber and Space Policy
The DoD has named Robert Butler the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber and Space Policy. Butler previously managed Computer Science Corp’s (CSC) military intelligence business in San Antonio, Texas.
Butler has extensive cyber experience from his active duty and civilian career in the Air Force, last serving as associate director of the Joint Information Warfare Command at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, currently the headquarters of AFCYBER commanded by Maj. Gen. Richard Webber. Butler has served as an analyst in computer programming at the Air Force data center in the Pentagon from 1979-1984. Butler then spent the rest of his career serving in a wide range of Air Force and joint intelligence assignments for the next 24 years.
Butler’s new position is a newly-minted role under the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michèle Flournoy. Previously, the DoD had separate policy cheifs for space and cyber, but the two will now be combined in a new organization to be headed by Butler.
