Pentagon’s $2 Billion Cybersecurity Project Slowed by Flaws

The Defense Department has halted deployment on its classified networks of a $2 billion cybersecurity project intended to detect intrusions and prevent attacks because of poor test results, according to the Pentagon’s testing office.

The effort to consolidate hundreds of U.S.-based and global systems continues to be fielded to non-classified networks even though test assessments since 2016 have continually shown it’s “unable to help network defenders protect DoD component networks against operationally realistic cyber attacks,” testing chief Robert Behler wrote in his latest criticism of the project known as the Joint Regional Security Stack.

Behler’s report, obtained by Bloomberg News in advance of its release, was written before the Defense Department acknowledged that it was among government agencies hit by a massive intrusion attributed to Russian hackers. Although the Pentagon said there’s no evidence that data or systems were compromised, the attack raised new questions about protecting defense systems.
