In the latest sign of the federal government refocusing its cybersecurity efforts, the Department of Defense has released a 2018 Cyber Strategy to replace a previous one launched in 2015.

The strategy, however, also extends the DoD’s efforts to collaborate more closely with the private sector on cybersecurity issues and pushes the department to use its purchasing power to motivate companies to better secure their products and services.
