David Vergun at the DOD News offer a piece on the Defense Department and cybersecurity.
The
Defense Department relies on the entrepreneurial companies and their
innovative, hard-working employees in the defense industrial base, or DIB, to
create capabilities for warfighters.
Through
procurements from private-sector sources, the department leverages the best
technologies and innovations to give service members the battlefield advantages
they need to win decisively, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen H. Hicks said.
"DIB cybersecurity is and will remain an expanding
priority for the U.S. Department of Defense. More than 220,000 companies provide
value to the department's force development, and the DIB is now facing
increasingly sophisticated and well-resourced cyber-attacks that must be
stopped," she said, referring to the defense industrial base.
These cyber-attacks threaten the U.S. and the rules-based
order on which the global economy relies, Hicks said. Markets cannot function
effectively in an environment where adversarial countries are leveraging their
national power to steal intellectual property, to sabotage commercial activity,
and to threaten supply chains.
