Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This bill formally establishes Project Spectrum, an existing Department of Defense program designed to help small and medium-sized defense contractors improve their cybersecurity defenses. The program operates through an online platform that provides eligible companies with educational materials, cybersecurity training, best practice guidance, security assessments, monitoring services, and tools to evaluate commercial cybersecurity products. The legislation directs the Defense Department's Office of Small Business Programs to maintain this platform and determine eligibility requirements for participating companies. By codifying Project Spectrum into federal law, the bill ensures the program has permanent authorization rather than relying on year-to-year funding decisions, though the legislation does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines.
