It is also up from fiscal 2023, when it sought $11.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department is prioritizing all things cyber as competition with Russia and China grows increasingly digital. All three world powers are well known for their virtual arsenals and their desire to poke and prod without triggering armed conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe FY25 cyber activity budget focuses investments in three portfolios, covering cybersecurity, cyberspace operations and cyber research and development,\u201d a senior defense official told reporters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2024\/03\/09\/software-revamp-aims-to-align-us-army-with-industry-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\">at the Pentagon<\/a>. \u201cCyber capabilities will continue to be a critical component of our national defense and, accordingly, a priority in our budget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=885b96a4-068f-4f2e-a652-86b797722fa1\" poster=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/video-poster-885b96a4-068f-4f2e-a652-86b797722fa1.png\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An inside look at the Department of Defense&#8217;s budget request for next year- from program cuts to barracks improvements. Our reporters weigh in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department has since 2015 experienced more than 12,000 so-called cyber incidents, with annual totals steadily declining since 2017, according to a Government Accountability Office report. Defense contractors are also victims of infiltrations; their intellectual property is a top target of foreign hackers.<\/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\/information-warfare\/2024\/03\/04\/how-us-navy-leaders-see-power-evolving-at-dawn-of-the-information-age\/\" 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=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7595860.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\">How US Navy leaders see power evolving at \u2018dawn of the information age\u2019<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. Navy championed digital weaponry as the decider of future fights in its inaugural cyber strategy, published in November.<\/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\">To further insulate its sensitive information, the department is pursuing zero trust. Unlike older cybersecurity paradigms, zero trust assumes networks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/11\/22\/pentagon-publishes-zero-trust-cyber-strategy-eyes-2027-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\">are always at risk or are already compromised<\/a>, requiring constant validation of devices, users and their virtual reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiscal 2025 blueprint allocates a little more than $977 million for zero-trust transition. It also features nearly $300 million for modernized identity, credential and access management, or ICAM, a means of tailoring what information is available to a person while also keeping tabs on those plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe cybersecurity budget request improves our cyber posture by funding the development and modernization in cybersecurity tools and capabilities and also expands investment in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/07\/11\/tech-watchlist-reveals-pentagon-vision-of-future-digital-battlefield\/\" target=\"_blank\">zero-trust technology<\/a> to ensure the department can fully secure and protect\u201d its assets, the senior official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A baseline level of zero trust across the department is required by 2027. Additional protections, dubbed advanced zero trust, are required down the line. Cybersecurity leaders have in the past said the looming deadlines will be challenging to meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cCyber capabilities will continue to be a
