| Summary |
The U.S. faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, such as the 2019 SolarWinds security breach. To mitigate these threats, DOD is continually developing new software- based capabilities. Cyber Command created the JCWA in 2019 to address these needs and synchronize cyber warfighting programs across DOD. The JCWA includes a range of software-enabled systems, sensors, and tools that the Army and Air Force are procuring for Cyber Command. In November 2020, GAO reported shortfalls in the JCWA governance structure and interoperability goals and recommended that Cyber Command define roles and responsibilities for overseeing the JCWA programs and develop such goals. This report examines Cyber Command's progress in defining JCWA roles, responsibilities, and interoperability goals; and efforts to assess the JCWA acquisitions using outcome-based metrics. To conduct this work, GAO obtained and reviewed relevant documents and met with DOD officials. GAO is recommending that Cyber Command develop outcome-based metrics to inform future Value Assessments. |
