# DISA Opens Pacific Network Security Center

The Defense Information Systems Agency opened its Regional Network Operations Security Center Pacific on October 29, 2026, to improve network visibility, cyber defense coordination, and support for joint and coalition operations across the Indo-Pacific. DISA plans to increase regional headquarters personnel by approximately 20% and has identified data standardization, machine-speed automation, AI-enabled security operations, digital-twin modeling, and secure coalition information sharing as industry capability priorities. No solicitation, contract value, or procurement deadline has been announced.

- Defense and technology contractors can assess how their network operations, cybersecurity, data integration, automation, AI, and coalition-sharing capabilities align with DISA’s stated priorities.
- The center’s expanded regional staffing and operational remit point to a continuing need for capabilities that support Indo-Pacific network defense and joint operations; these priorities are not yet a specific procurement opportunity.
- Companies should distinguish capability alignment from an active bid: the signals identify no solicitation or contract vehicle, so there is no proposal deadline to act on.
