An assessment of how such a joint partner-sharing network capability could— demonstrate new tools, techniques, or methodologies for data-driven decision making, including capabilities powered by artificial intelligence; accelerate sharing of relevant data, data visualization, and data analysis implemented through cryptographic data access controls and enforcing existing data sharing restrictions across multiple security levels; and leverage current activities in multi-cloud computing environments to reduce the reliance on solely hardware-based networking solutions. Recommendations for actions that can be taken to develop and integrate such a joint partner-sharing network capability with allies and partners of the United States in the Middle East, including identification of policy, resources, workforce, or other shortfalls. Such other matters as the Secretary considers relevant. The strategy required by subsection
