The Board assembled a Task Force composed of national leaders in information technology (IT) and cyber security. The Task Force met from January 2015 through November 2015 to deliberate on cyber security for the Department of Defense (DoD). The task force was asked to take on four specific tasks: -Determine methods to assess and provide DoD leadership with improved management insight into the level of cyber protection that either currently exists or is planned -Devise the means or methods to assess system resilience to different kinds and levels of cyber attack -Investigate ways to inform future investments for DoD cyber defense -Develop approaches to produce prioritized recommendations for spending the next dollar for maximum effect against cyber threats
