The US defense bill dilutes the creation of the US Cyber ​​Force and allocates billions to it


  • President Biden signs the National Defense Authorization Act into law
  • The law makes the creation of a US ‘cyber force’ less likely and no longer limits FISA’s surveillance powers
  • Billions of dollars allocated to help replace Chinese technology after surveillance concerns

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2025 has been signed into law by President Biden, outlining the military’s and Pentagon’s policies, budgets and priorities for the coming year.

The bill weakened the requirement to consult a third party to assess the feasibility of creating a US Cyber ​​Force, as well as to evaluate an “alternative organizational model for the cyber forces” of the military branches.
