Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would be required to develop and submit a detailed strategy for how the U.S. military can work with other countries in the Indo-Pacific region to improve cybersecurity and defend against digital attacks. This plan would come from the top policy official at the Pentagon and the highest-ranking military officer, and would help coordinate efforts to protect military networks and critical infrastructure across Asia and the Pacific. The strategy would guide how the U.S. partners with allies in that region to address growing cyber threats.
