Military Network Security: Plan to Transition to New Cybersecurity Standards.

This act mandates the Department of Defense (DoD) to brief Congress on its strategy for upgrading military network security systems. The goal is to achieve higher cybersecurity standards, known as "zero trust," by 2027, which is vital for protecting sensitive military data and enhancing national security. While focused on internal military IT, stronger defense data protection indirectly benefits national safety.

Mandate for Modernization: DoD must plan to move away from legacy network security systems (JRSS) toward modern solutions.
Goal: Implement "zero trust" principles (continuous access verification) to better protect military data, regardless of user location.
Reporting Requirement: Military IT leaders must brief Congress on the details of this transition plan within 120 days.
