The Department of the Navy is establishing a DevSecOps task force to help speed up software development and delivery and improve data security, FCW reported Friday.

Throughout the year, the U.S. Navy has expedited IT projects, including expanding bandwidth, building new sites for its virtual private networks and shifting to telework.

Aaron Weis, chief information officer of the U.S. Navy and a 2020 Wash100 Award winner, said the service is transitioning to a zero trust framework to better protect and defend its networks from cyber threats.

Aaron Weis, the U.S. Navy’s chief information officer and 2020 Wash100 Award winner, said the service’s networks are “holding us back” and exacerbating information leaks through the defense industrial base and direct exfiltration, C4ISRnet reported Tuesday.

Navy Secretary and a 2019 Wash100 Award recipient Richard Spencer said the service branch has a plan in place to improve efforts to help combat cyber threats and those facing the supply chain, Fifth Domain reported Thursday.
