Navy appoints new head of cyber after reviews reveal 'significant breaches' in its cybersecurity systems.
Released in March, the report found significant issues with the Navy's data and digital information management. To address those problems, it recommended the Navy create an independent chief Information officer position, a role that had been part of Undersecretary Thomas Modly's responsibilities since early 2018.
The key findings of the team's review, shown exclusively to NBC News by a Navy official with access to the report, underscored that adversaries of the U.S. have been learning how to infiltrate the Navy's vulnerabilities since the 1990s. It noted specifically that China has stolen critical military data from the Navy and massive amounts of trade secrets from private-sector contractors.
There is a lack of uniform understanding of information management across the department, it said, and the Navy' was fixated on planning for physical wars while its competitors were focusing on cyberspace.
