My understanding from 'in the know' type sources is the US is in very good shape toward the cyber threat with the Air Force in the lead role. It's just not bragged about a lot to hopefully prevent strikes secondary to those types of statements.
China is probably the biggest threat in the world with crazy scary good capabilities and have already practiced attacks in a limited fashion against the US and others.
