Quantum computing offers great promise but also great risk, and current encryption standards are especially vulnerable to the quantum threat. There are actions that agencies can take today, however, to safeguard their systems.
Agencies today often pursue targeted modernization programs, rather than sweeping changes. Here are four areas in which they’re devoted modernization resources.
Zero trust is the new standard for cybersecurity, but it poses challenges, and many federal agencies will miss a key 2024 deadline for implementing it. Here are four ways to comply with zero-trust requirements.
Cloud-based technology is a key element of government IT modernization, and a zero-trust cybersecurity approach can help agencies protect it.
Pairing the Internet of Things (IoT) with operational technology (OT) is an innovative way for federal agencies to optimize their existing tools and deliver revolutionary remote management. The potential of the IoT/OT convergence is boundless.
Cloud computing can present identity-related risks that agencies aren’t ready for. They need visibility into their network’s security, the ability to be proactive rather than reactive, and the tools to respond before, during and after a cyberattack.
Neglecting to patch known vulnerabilities in your network can lead to serious cyberattacks. A patch management strategy can help prevent costly breaches.
As cyberwarfare increases and agencies struggle to find essential cybersecurity talent, contractors are an attractive option. However, outsourcing cyber positions has pros and cons.
AI technology has fascinating prospects for society, but there also exists a spectrum of potential negative and unconventional outcomes, including AI-driven phishing attacks.
IT complexity is the most significant obstacle to strengthening the security postures of government agencies — pushing budget constraints to second place for the first time ever.
