The Pentagon today launched a website highlighting the department's first official cybersecurity strategy.

The website seeks to explain the department's first official strategy for operating in cyberspace outlined by Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at National Defense University on July 14.

The site includes news in cyber policy across several federal agencies and links to the individual services' cyber commands: the Navy's 10th Fleet, Air Force's 24th Cyber, Army Cyber, as well as U.S. Strategic Command.

"The new website is a tool to help explain and consolidate DOD's cybersecurity accomplishments and new way forward for military, intelligence and business operations in cyberspace," DOD spokeswoman Lt. Col. April Cunningham said in an email.

Additionally, the website is "designed to help users explore the five pillars of DOD's cyber strategy: treating cyberspace as an operational domain; employing new defense operating concepts; partnering with the public and private sector; building international partnerships; and leveraging talent and innovation," Cunningham added.
