Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity threats demand modernizing federal technology

WannaCry. Petya. Wikileaks. Cloudbleed. Hacks of presidential campaigns in France and the United States. Shadow Brokers. Equifax. Deloitte. Those are just some of the most significant cyberattacks of the last 12 months.

Private and public networks around the world are incessantly under cyber attack, and the threats continue to proliferate. Cyberattacks steal from the innocent, threaten our national security, and undermine faith in corporations, institutions, and government. 

If it’s not obvious yet that cybersecurity is a major issue, you’re not paying attention. Accordingly, cybersecurity must be a priority for all levels of government, not to mention the private sector. 

Yet much of the federal government’s networks remain vulnerable simply because of outdated and obsolete technology. This must change.
