Requires the Pentagon to create a plan for stronger cyber defense with allies in the Indo-Pacific.

This bill would require the Pentagon to develop a detailed plan for improving cyber defense with U.S. allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region. This means the Department of Defense would work more closely with these countries to protect against cyber threats and share information. Currently, there isn't a specific law requiring such a comprehensive strategy.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific law requiring the Pentagon to create and carry out a detailed strategy for cyber cooperation with allies in the Indo-Pacific region. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Defense would be required to develop and implement such a strategy within 180 days, along with regular reports and funding plans to Congress.

Key Provisions

Requires the Pentagon to develop and start carrying out a strategy for stronger cyber cooperation with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region within 180 days.
Requires this strategy to identify cyber defense needs through 2040, assess allies' current cyber abilities, and outline actions to improve joint operations and information sharing.
Requires the Pentagon to submit a plan for funding this cyber strategy to Congress within 180 days, including any resource gaps.
Requires the Pentagon to report to Congress by March 15, 2028, on the progress of the strategy and any remaining challenges.
