Abstract
The Fourth (4th) Industrial Revolution represents the profound advancement of technology that will likely transform the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds in modern society. The impact of advance technology will disrupt almost every aspect of business and government communities alike. In the past few years, the advancement of information technologies has opened the door to artificial intelligence (AI), block chain technologies, robotics, virtual reality and the possibility of quantum computing being released in the commercial sector. The use of these innovative technologies will likely impact society by leveraging modern technological platforms such as cloud computing and AI. This also includes the release of 5G network technologies by Internet Service Providers (ISP) beginning in 2019. Networks that rely upon 5G technologies in combination with cloud computing platforms will open the door allow greater innovations and change the nature of how work is performed in the 4th Industrial Revolution.

International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol., No.2, May 2020 DOD is focusing on transitioning into the modern technological era [2].Whether this approach changes the nature of DOD’s workforce to enhance their technological capabilities remains questionable at best The effectiveness of this plan will be dependent upon DOD’s ability to recruit highly skilled workers that offers flexibility into positions that influences positive changes. It’s essential that DOD stays committed towards building a modern technology workforce to help them prepare for future cyber challenges [2]
