b'Starting this week, the Defense Department is implementing a major revamp of the regime it uses to test the cyber readiness posture of its commands, bases and agencies, aiming to move from a compliance-focused checklist mentality to one that tries to help commanders understand how their cyber risk actually affects their missions.\\n\\nThe new process seeks to put a friendlier \\u2014 and hopefully more helpful \\u2014 face on the Command Cyber Readiness Inspections (CCRIs) DoD has used for more than a decade. In fact, they\\u2019re no longer called \\u201cinspections\\u201d at all.
