Cybersecurity Investment Set To Increase Amid Golden Fleet Initiative

The US Navy is set to increase its investment in cybersecurity, with a focused budget allocation aimed at enhancing the security of its fleet. According to Anne Marie Schumann, the department’s principal cyber adviser, the move is part of a broader effort to improve the resilience and survivability of Navy ships, particularly in the context of the Golden Fleet initiative. Schumann noted that the demand for cybersecurity will increase due to several high-profile efforts, including acquisition reform and an emphasis on shipbuilding. The Navy’s plans were discussed during an interview at the annual WEST conference, as reported by Breaking Defense.
