Laughing in the Face of Danger: Federal Agencies Flunk Cybersecurity 101
Cyber threats are scarier than a Stephen King novel and our federal agencies’ cybersecurity preparedness is as comforting as a cactus in a hammock. According to the U.S. General Accountability Office, 20 out of 23 agencies are tripping over their own digital shoelaces, struggling to meet necessary cyber incident investigation and remediation standards.
Hot Take:
Oh, the irony! The guys who are supposed to protect us from cyber threats are falling short in their own cybersecurity homework. Our dear federal agencies are, apparently, not fully equipped to handle cyber incidents. According to a report from everyone's favorite government watchdog, the U.S. General Accountability Office, 20 out of 23 agencies couldn't meet the required standards for investigating and remedying cyber threats. With the cyber world becoming scarier than a Stephen King novel, our government's 'not-so-ready' status is as comforting as a cactus in a hammock.Already a member? Log in here
