High-ranking U.S. Cyber Command officer is departing their position.
In the realm of government and cybersecurity, there have been several noteworthy changes recently. Let's take a look at some key developments.
Firstly, Morgan Adamski, the executive director of U.S. Cyber Command, has announced her resignation. She is set to join PwC's Cyber, Data, and Technology Risk Division, marking a shift from public service to consulting within the cybersecurity field [1]. The impact on U.S. Cyber Command, as of now, appears to be a routine leadership transition, with no publicly detailed operational impact reported.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to cancel two major solicitations, the FirstSource III program and the PACTS III solicitation.
On the defense front, the Department of Defense is relying on the reconciliation bill still being debated in Congress to fill funds that have been diverted from military programs to fund border missions. The Department of Defense's fiscal 2026 budget proposal includes a $5 billion investment for southern border operations and a $13.4 billion investment in autonomous systems. However, this has led to a shift in funding away from permanent change of station costs, service members' pay and benefits, and infrastructure repairs.
The House Appropriations Committee is urging the Department of Homeland Security to consider establishing a "contractor cyber readiness pilot" to evaluate how contractors protect controlled unclassified information.
Under a new final rule, agencies now have more leeway to fire probationary employees. However, federal managers may need better training and development to effectively implement this rule.
The Department of the Navy has listed AI and autonomy, quantum technologies, transport and connectivity, C5ISR and space, and cyber defense, including zero trust implementation, as its biggest technology priority areas.
