As U.S. Naval Information Forces continues to reform how it trains for and carries out its cyber missions, the command expects to announce an enlisted rating name change later this year that better reflects this vital work.
The Navy already has an existing cyber job rating, known as cryptologic technician networks, or CTN, a job that requires cyber skills 93% of the time, the head of Naval Information Forces, Vice Adm. Kelly Aeschbach, told reporters here Wednesday during the annual West naval conference.

SPC Robert Coventry I was a CTO Cryptologic Technician Operator/Communications.

Adding an enlisted rating and officer designator to the existing cadre of cyber warfare engineers and cyber warrant officers will round out the pool of sailors doing such work, she said.
“We’ll have a family now of cyber designators like we do for intelligence, where we have officers and intelligence specialists, cryptologists will still have four other CT ratings that are aligned with them,” Aeschbach said ."...
