Katie Sutton has been nominated to serve as assistant secretary of defense for cyber policy, according to a notice posted on Congress.gov
Sutton — who is currently chief technology advisor to the commander and director of Pentagon operations at U.S. Cyber Command and had been a professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee focused on cyber — will be the second official to hold this position, which was created by Congress in the fiscal 2023 annual defense policy bill.
That position was established due to the growing role of cyber in society and the U.S. military.

With the largest discretionary spending item in the federal budget and massive inefficiencies, the Defense Department might seem an obvious target for the Department of Government Efficiency — known as DOGE. With roughly 2.8 million personnel, the Department of Defense spends $299 billion on personnel costs, with billions more allocated towards contractors performing similar jobs.
