A bill to require the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to submit a strategy for cyber cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop, submit to the congressional defense committees, and begin carrying out a strategy for cyber cooperation between the Department of Defense and allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region within 180 days. The strategy would identify cyber cooperation needs through 2040, review allies' and partners' cybersecurity capacity and standards, and list actions and authorities needed to improve cooperation. Within the same 180 days, officials would also submit a funding plan and give a briefing to the committees. A progress report on implementation would be due by March 15, 2028, and all documents would be unclassified but could include a classified annex.
