This comes after a tumultuous period involving her suspension due to security clearance issues related to alleged intelligence disclosures. Arrington played a vital role in developing cybersecurity policies, especially the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program. Following her suspension and resignation due to legal issues, she aims to bolster the DOD's cybersecurity leadership at a critical juncture.
"Arrington has begun performing the duties of DOD CIO and does not concurrently have the role of DOD CISO, suggesting a new CISO has been or will be selected."
"Arrington was a significant contributor to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program, aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity posture of DOD contractors to defend against cyber threats."
