President Donald Trump signed a $901 billion Pentagon policy bill on Thursday night that features a slew of key cybersecurity provisions. The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act passed with bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate. The compromise measure authorizes Defense Department policies and unprecedented spending levels for national security programs. The bill includes language that effectively preserves the dual-hat leadership structure of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency by prohibiting the use of any Pentagon funds to “reduce or diminish the responsibilities, authorities, or organizational oversight of the Commander of United States Cyber Command.”
