This report, transmitted to Congress in May, serves as the baseline document for the department&#8217;s strategy in implementing the priorities of \u2064the 2022 National Security Strategy, 2022 National Defense Strategy, and the 2023 \u2062National Cybersecurity Strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>Lessons Learned and Collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This strategy draws on lessons learned from years of conducting\u2062 cyber operations and our close observation of how cyber has been used in the Russia-Ukraine\u2064 war,&#8221; says Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space \u200bPolicy John Plumb. &#8220;It has driven home the need to work\u2062 closely with our allies, partners, and industry \u2063to \u2063make sure we have\u2063 the right cyber capabilities, cyber security, and cyber resilience to help deter conflict, and to fight and win if\u2064 deterrence fails.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Assistant Secretary of \u200bDefense for Cyber Policy Mieke Eoyang adds that the \u2064strategy identifies China as the\u200b department&#8217;s &#8220;pacing challenge in the cyber domain&#8221; and recognizes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cybersecurity-chief-surprised-russia-has-not-hit-us-targets-amid-ukraine-war\/\" title=\"Biden cybersecurity chief 'surprised' Russia has not hit US targets amid Ukraine war\">significant threat posed<\/a> by Russia in cyberspace.<\/p>\n<h3>The Chinese Cybersecurity Threat<\/h3>\n<p>The report highlights that the Chinese Communist Party considers cybersecurity superiority as \u200ba \u200dcore tenet of its theories \u2064of victory. It also reveals that China \u2064has engaged\u2062 in prolonged campaigns of espionage, theft, and compromise against key defense \u200bnetworks and broader U.S. critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Importantly, the strategy emphasizes \u2063the Department will\u200d continue to collaborate with \u200cdomestic\u200b partners across the federal government to share best practice and expertise,&#8221; Eoyang adds. &#8220;We will deepen our \u2064relationship with \u2062private industry through voluntary and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-views-china-as-biggest-threat-in-cybersecurity-dod-warns\/\" title=\"DOD warns: China poses greatest cybersecurity threat to US.\">timely\u200d information sharing<\/a>.\u200c And closing as the cyber domain has grown, foreign adversaries have exploited to identify us vulnerabilities, commit espionage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-chinese-hackers-caused-power-outages-for-millions-of-indians\/\" title=\"Report: Chinese Hackers Caused Power Outages for Millions of Indians\">steal intellectual property<\/a>, violate US sovereignty, and recently to\u200d wage war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Ongoing Threats and Recent Hacking Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier this summer, U.S. officials and Microsoft revealed a Chinese hacking campaign that targeted U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina\u2063 Raimondo and senior officials at \u200cthe State Department. The hack went undetected for\u2063 a month, affecting approximately \u206225 organizations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/twitter-files-6-shows-deep-state-went-deeper-than-just-fbi-twitter-collusion-2\/\" title=\"Twitter Files 6 Shows Deep State Went Deeper Than Just FBI-Twitter Collusion\">including government agencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the State Department did not confirm China&#8217;s \u2062culpability at the time, the incident highlights\u2063 the ongoing threats and the need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/violent-crime-continues-to-plague-san-francisco\/\" title=\"San Francisco still faces violent crime.\">increased cybersecurity measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from \u200dThe Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Defense considers China its top cybersecurity threat, as per a declassified summary of a classified report sent to Congress in May.
