I attended a talk at the start of the year from an RAF Officer engaged in cyber security. He said there was no way we could keep pace with the likes of China who had thousands and thousands of people working in cyber warfare. All we could do was match their quantity with quality. To do this, the service needed to attract the next generation of Alan Turings, who might not necessarily be all that bothered about shooting a gun / having short hair / going on exercise / and wearing a uniform. He hinted at a new sort of contract and 'service experience' for these individuals, whereby they would be in the RAF, but able to carry on like civvies! The comparison was made with the police who have uniformed and non-uniformed officers.
