"NDAA Provision Looks to Close Cybersecurity Gaps in Nuclear Weapons Systems"

A bipartisan proposal in the recently passed defense policy bill will form a working group to address previously identified cybersecurity gaps in the nation's nuclear weapons systems. The provision, which was first introduced in June, was included in the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The measure will establish a "Cybersecurity, Risk Inventory, Assessment, and Mitigation Working Group" within the US Department of Defense (DOD), tasked with developing a comprehensive strategy for inventorying the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) systems that are potentially at risk in Operational Technology (OT) and nuclear weapons Information Technology (IT) environments. The working group will also assess the systems at risk based on mission impact and execute risk mitigation actions. This article continues to discuss the bipartisan proposal aimed at mitigating cybersecurity gaps in the nation's nuclear weapons systems.
