Increased Investment To Protect Fleet From Growing Threats

The US Navy is set to increase its investment in cybersecurity in its upcoming budget, with a focus on protecting its fleet from growing threats. According to Anne Marie Schumann, the department’s principal cyber adviser, the Navy will prioritize cybersecurity in its shipbuilding efforts, including the integration of cybersecurity into new ship designs. The move is part of the Navy’s efforts to realize its concept of the Golden Fleet, which requires a resilient and survivable armada.
