TechNet Indo-Pacific: Navy’s Cyber Plan Shifts from Compliance to Cyber Readiness
Josh Reiter, Deputy Principal Cyber Advisor, Department of the Navy
Department of the Navy Deputy Principal Cyber Advisor Josh Reiter unpacked the Navy’s cyber strategy at AFCEA TechNet Indo-Pacific in Honolulu this week. He highlighted its seven lines of effort that contribute to maintaining the Navy’s operational efficiency across people, critical infrastructure and data.
The Navy is shifting from a compliance mindset to one of cyber readiness, and expanding its view of cybersecurity as less of a traditional IT problem to more of a operational technology issue. He said this approach is incorporating more visibility into critical infrastructure, as Navy ships are like small cities with infrastructure that needs maintenance.
He also shared how the department is attracting and retaining cyber talent, calling the people “our most important asset.”
