  note = {The study reveals that cybersecurity is not at a level of importance equal to that of cost, technical, and performance in the current defense acquisition process. The study discloses the defense acquisition guidance does not reflect the change of cybersecurity requirements, and the defense acquisition processes are deficient, ineffective, and inadequate to describe and consider cybersecurity requirements, weakening the government’s overall efforts to implement cybersecurity framework into the defense acquisition system. The study recommends defense organizations elevate the importance of cybersecurity during the acquisition process, to help the government’s overall efforts to develop, build, and operate in an open, secure, interoperable, and reliable cyberspace. },
