Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. <\/p>\n

WEST 2026 \u2014 The Navy\u2019s upcoming budget request will include a focused pot of money to increase cybersecurity aboard the fleet, the department\u2019s principal cyber adviser told Breaking Defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the secretary\u2019s focus on shipbuilding and the announcement of Golden Fleet, we spent some time this year talking about cybersecurity risk to the fleet,\u201d Anne Marie Schumann said during a Tuesday interview at the annual WEST conference. \u201cThat\u2019s an area where I think you\u2019re going to see a lot of progress in the next year, especially given a number of the reform initiatives that are going on, acquisition reform, we have the announcement of the CNOs Fighting Instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re going to see increased investment and increased attention on cybersecurity of the fleet this year,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Schumann noted that with several high profile efforts such as acquisition reform, Golden Fleet and emphasis on ship building, the demand signal for cybersecurity of the ships will have to increase.<\/p>\n

The stakes really couldn\u2019t be higher for the Navy, she said, because adversaries understand that ships are essentially floating computers and are looking for any asymmetric advantage they can achieve. In order to realize the idea of the Golden Fleet \u2014 a still largely-obscured concept that is highlighted by the Trump-class battleship design \u2014 that armada has to be resilient and survivable.<\/p>\n

Historically, cybersecurity in ships has been a bolt on, not baked in from the beginning. After all, cyber wasn\u2019t even a word in the lexicon when many legacy platforms were being designed and engineered, she pointed out<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely critical to bake in cyber and have that security by design in any new ship that we build, whether it\u2019s manned or an unmanned ship,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Part of that resilience and survivability involves having the right cybersecurity as well as the right level of readiness of sailors and Marines to operate in that cyber contested environment, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do we understand what are our core warfighting capabilities and make sure that as we are an increasingly denied environment, that we can still perform those abilities, even as we maybe shed some of our less critical efforts that we do on the ship,\u201d Schumann said. \u201cThere\u2019s the idea of what is the core mission I need to perform. Can we do that? Yes or No? Are the sailors trained to make sure that we can sustain that mission?\u201d<\/p>\n
