On September 29, the U.S. Cyber Command awarded its first contract under its new limited acquisition authority. The Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act granted the U.S. Cyber Command the authority to acquire, develop, and sustain equipment and capability related to cyberspace operations, and to execute contract actions up to $75 million a year through September 30, 2021. The U.S. Cyber Command will use such funds in the future to build partnerships, starting with an industry day announced for October 27 to meet with government and industry representatives.
