Pentagon Increasing Cyber Weapon Acquisition

In response to a report requested by Congress, the Pentagon is seeking to increase their acquisition of cyber weapons and they are seeking to establish precedent for the future of cyber warfare. Congress' request focused on how the Pentagon intends to accelerate acquisition, and it is resulting in an almost immediate affect on the Pentagon's actions. The Washington Post reports that this initiative intends, "in some cases to field weapons against specific targets in a matter of days." This is an immediate response that seeks to fulfill, "urgent, mission critical needs."
