In 2013, the DoD Chief Information Officer issued a cybersecurity strategy for the Department. Its four focus areas are:
- Establish a Resilient Cyber Defense Posture
- Transform Cyber Defense Operations
- Enhance Cyber Situational Awareness
- Assure Survivability against Highly-Sophisticated Cyber Attacks
The goal of the DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart is to capture the tremendous breadth of applicable policies, some of which many cybersecurity professionals may not even be aware, in a helpful organizational scheme. The use of color, fonts, and hyperlinks are all designed to provide additional assistance to cybersecurity professionals navigating their way through policy issues in order to defend their networks, systems, and data.
