An agency’s workers play an essential role in its cybersecurity strategy. As frontline staff, they are perfectly positioned to notice anything unusual going on with IT systems. At the same time, end users can be the weak link in information security if they don’t have the proper training and don’t understand how important their contribution can be. Government IT teams can take specific steps to foster a culture of information security through education and preparedness exercises and by leveragin

Cyber experts often emphasize that there’s no silver bullet for improving the security of government systems. The problem is not that technology always falls short. Instead, it’s that the cyber threats are so varied and always evolving. Here is a look at the current threat landscape, based on recent cyber-related news and events.

Traditionally, organizations took a moat-and-castle approach to network security: Anything within a network’s perimeter was deemed safe, while external infrastructure and activity raised cybersecurity concerns. But that approach has proven costly and insufficient as cyber criminals devise new schemes to invade our networks and traditional on-premises systems become more scattered and diffuse.

The ongoing debt ceiling negotiations are approaching the “X Date” with little certainty of a resolution. The X Date, the date on which the U.S. Government runs out of money to pay all of its bills, is estimated to be June 1. Failing to raise the debt ceiling by that date would be unprecedented and, by most accounts, would have dire consequences for the economy.

If you think about it, there’s a fundamental disconnect between the concept of zero trust and the approach traditional security technology takes. As employees browse the internet or open email, legacy solutions scan the content for potential threats before allowing access. That’s not zero trust. That’s “innocent until proven guilty.” If you take zero trust seriously, you will treat all content as if it’s malicious, whether you detect a threat or not.

For government agencies, user loyalty is a prized attribute that is difficult to come by and tough to retain. Users base their loyalty on quality service but value a consistent, exceptional experience even more. Yet, agencies sometimes struggle to provide that level of experience, especially in times of tight staffing and overwhelmed contact centers.

Government often plays catchup to threat actors rather than tracking their activity early in the attack life cycle. But according to Kevin E.

It’s common workplace wisdom that to get things done or be productive, you need to have a plan. It’s also common practice to start projects by making a list of what all needs to get done. But, there is a big difference between a to-do list and a plan. Do you know the difference? A to-do list is simply that – a list. It’s an unorganized ledger of tasks that need to be completed at some point, by someone.

By definition, data ethics refers to the norms of behavior that promote appropriate judgments and accountability when acquiring, managing or using data. There are three goals: protect civil liberties, minimize risks to individuals and society, and maximize the public good. It is about more than complying with legal requirements; in fact, some of the most controversial realms, such as AI, are largely unregulated anyway.
