The Pentagon yesterday released its first strategy for operating in cyberspace. The plan includes five strategic initiatives: organizing and training professionals to take full advantage of cyberspace’s potential; employing defense operating concepts to protect DoD networks; partnering with other U.S. government departments and agencies, as well as the private sector; building relationships with international partners to strengthen collective cybersecurity; and leveraging the nation’s ingenuity through an exceptional cyber workforce and rapid technological innovation.
We encourage you to read the document as it offers a roadmap of DoD's expected efforts to effectively operate in the cyber domain and defend national interests in the years to come." A failure by the Department to secure its systems in cyberspace would pose a fundamental risk to our ability to accomplish defense missions today and in the future."- 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review
