Support to the DoD Cyber Workforce Zero-Based Review: Developing a Repeatable Process for Conducting ZBRs Within DoD

Section 1652 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act tasks the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to perform a zero-based review (ZBR) — a detailed review rather than a simple comparison with previous size or budget — of its cybersecurity and information technology workforces. The ZBR process described in this report constitutes a transparent, repeatable process with which DoD can conduct ZBRs across the DoD cyber enterprise.
