"We're throwing ciberbombas. We have never done that," said Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work reporters. "Just as we have an air campaign, I want to have a cyber campaign. I want to use all possible capabilities."
He said the entire campaign against ISIS was putting "enormous pressure" on the organization, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, its acronym in English).
He added: "Now 'sucks' is ISIL".
"Every time we have gone against one of its positions in the last 10 months, we have defeated," he said.
In February, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the cyber effort was focused mainly on terrorists ISIS in Syria and that the aim of the campaign is "overload your network so you can not work" and "disrupt their ability to command and forces beyond control, control the population and the economy. "
In response to a question from CNN in February, Carter acknowledged that by disrupting communications ISIS, the risk that these cyber attacks the intelligence process is hindered US run. But he said these "offsets" do not affect the need to attack ISIS networks.
"We have to attack command and control," Carter said.
Carter added that Cyber Command " was specifically idead for competent and powerful instrument US in this war."
But the head of Cyber Command warned last week that ISIS could make their own cyber attacks on US
Alimirante Michael Rogers told the Committee of the Senate Armed Services ISIS has " harnessed the power of the field of information" to propagate their ideology , recruit , move money and coordinate activities , and that "it will not be difficult " to ISIS perform cyberattacks against US if they are able to develop that capacity.
