The Defense Secure Mobile Phones Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of Defense to equip senior Pentagon officials and employees performing sensitive national security functions with secure mobile phones and telecommunications services within 90 days of the bill's enactment. These devices must include enhanced cybersecurity protections such as data encryption, the ability to rotate device identifiers to prevent tracking, and continuous monitoring capabilities. The bill affects Department of Defense personnel involved in sensitive work, though the exact number of employees covered will be determined by the Secretary. Within 180 days, the Secretary must report to Congress detailing the contracts used, the criteria for identifying sensitive-function employees, the total number of affected personnel, and the overall costs of implementing this secure phone program.
