Key Cyber Provisions of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2024

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is considered must-pass legislation and has become the main vehicle for national cyber policymaking. The NDAA's cyber provisions for fiscal year 2024 address threats from Mexican criminal organizations and China. The NDAA expands the military's role in protecting critical infrastructure, particularly the electric power system. Provisions in the NDAA also aim to bolster the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and enhance the defense against AI attacks. The legislation includes directives for the State Department, focuses on intelligence collection and declassification, and highlights the need for additional legal authorities to fill gaps in cybersecurity regulation.
