The United States military will receive about $30 billion in cybersecurity funding in fiscal 2025 from $895.2 billion earmarked for US military activities under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an annual piece of must-pass legislation signed by President Joe Biden last month.
The nearly 1,000-page bill’s budget doesn’t enable clear-cut or quick calculations of how much of the total funding goes to cybersecurity activities. However, as a ballpark guide, the administration’s proposed annual budget for the fiscal year 2025 NDAA, released in March, allocated an estimated $30 billion to total military cyber efforts. The final legislation likely did not vary substantially from this level.
