Summary

The Pentagon's Defense Digital Service is working to improve the Department of Defense's technology and digital services, with a focus on cybersecurity. The recent report from the combat testing office highlights the military's cybersecurity challenges, including a lack of expertise and tools to assess software-intensive weapons systems. This issue is not unique to the Pentagon, as organizations across industries face similar problems. The solution lies in adopting new approaches, such as crowdsourced security, which has already been implemented by the DoD. This approach involves proactively engaging with security experts from around the world to identify vulnerabilities before adversaries. Despite challenges, there is good news - more organizations are taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity, and this trend is expected to continue. The key takeaway is that cybersecurity professionals are in high demand, and their expertise is essential to stay ahead of cyber attackers.
