Michael Gilday stressed the importance of digital tools during a July 31 confirmation hearing to become the Navy\u2019s top officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe character of modern warfare is changing to a multidomain battlespace with significant emphasis on space, electronic, information and cyber domains,\u201d Gilday wrote in answers to questions submitted ahead of the hearing. \u201cGiven the changing security environment and the increasingly multidomain nature of threats, accelerating our Navy\u2019s digital transformation will be critical to preparing our Sailors to deter, fight and win. Digital technologies have the potential to be a force multiplier, putting data at the center of all of our decisions and transforming how we fight, stay ready and conduct business operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilday said he hopes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/07\/11\/navy-nominee-brings-cyber-experience-to-top-echelons-of-pentagon-leadership\/\" target=_blank>leverage his expertise in cybersecurity<\/a> and plans to accelerate plans for other fields if confirmed to be chief of naval operations. Gilday previously served at U.S. Cyber Command and led 10th Fleet\/Fleet Cyber Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf confirmed, cybersecurity will have my full attention. As pointed out by the Cyber Readiness Review, we have an urgent need to improve Defense Industrial Base cybersecurity for the protection of controlled unclassified information,\u201d he wrote. \u201cImmediate steps already underway that I would continue include increasing accountability, strengthening security and oversight and increasing network visibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy Secretary Richard Spencer has keyed in on cybersecurity in recent months, commissioning a study to take a comprehensive look at the Department of the Navy\u2019s cybersecurity posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/cyber\/2019\/03\/22\/heres-whats-different-about-the-navys-new-cybersecurity-review\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/WPL.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Here\u2019s what\u2019s different about the Navy\u2019s new cybersecurity review<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Department of the Navy is taking a holistic view at cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the subject of cybersecurity, Gilday noted that he\u2019d like to bolster the relationship\u2019s with industry \u2014 especially small companies \u2014 to find innovative partners as a means of making the Navy more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile I worked at Fort Meade at both U.S. Cyber Command and in command of Fleet Cyber Command, I had great partnerships with industry. Some of them small companies that were turning out some great products that we could use and then we could scale very quickly,\u201d he told the Senate Armed Services Committee. \u201cI would say with respect to the direction that we\u2019re going in, U.S. Cyber Command just created a \u2018Shark Tank\u2019 like environment with double-digit number small companies that are bidding very quickly on projects and developing prototypes very quickly. It\u2019s a very exciting direction we\u2019re heading in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilday was referring to DreamPort, which is run by the Maryland Innovation and Security Institute through an agreement with Cyber Command. DreamPort is a state-of-the-art facility where companies can bring in capabilities to be evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/it-networks\/2018\/09\/07\/cyber-command-partners-for-a-cyber-prototyping-environment\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-909244318.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Cyber Command partners for a cyber prototyping environment<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">An innovation hub through U.S. Cyber Command seeks to foster greater collaboration between the government and tech firms.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that new acquisition authorities Congress gave the Department of Defense have allowed the Pentgon to move faster in buying needed technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot afford to cede the competitive space of data and technology to our adversaries,\u201d he wrote. \u201c[By] leveraging a deliberate cycle of prototyping, experimentation, exercises, and war games, we will accelerate our ability to adapt and rapidly develop the systems and processes we need to fight at the speed of information. That information will enable new ways of doing business that will spread across the Navy, our sister services, and our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked which technologies the Navy should prioritize, Gilday put artificial intelligence at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are capabilities resident today in industry that we can harness to our advantage,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat I\u2019m particularly interested in is how we use data in a more innovative way to give us a quicker flash to bang from decision making to action. There\u2019s a lot of information at our finger tips every single day.
