Michael Rogers has assumed leadership of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command.
He was sworn into both roles at a ceremony that took place at Fort Meade, Md.
“The security challenges we face today are complex and growing, our adversaries are determined,” Rogers told the audience.
“And when the lives of our nation’s citizens are at stake, failure is not an option,” he added.
He added that collaboration is extremely important for intelligence agencies in the 21st century.
The retired Admiral said he has been working with cyberworkers for his entire career.
“The most important partnership for all of us will be that between U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency,” he said.
