Defense Department Aims to Enhance Cybersecurity with New Technologies and Restructuring

The Defense Information Systems Agency and the Department of Defense Information Network are restructuring and exploring the use of new technologies like AI and zero-trust assets to improve network security and protect against threats, particularly from China. The DODIN is a critical platform for all military operations in the cyber domain, and its tasks include increasing situational awareness, enforcing cybersecurity standards, and modernizing critical systems. The DISA manages a global network and is working to become more aligned with the Joint Staff and combatant commands.
