Feds Learn a Lesson on the Increasingly Intricate World of Cybersecurity

Federal cybersecurity may seem like a costly endeavor, but a new report suggests that government agencies could save up to $5 billion annually if they focused on monitoring threats more effectively and automating responses to those threats.

A new report from MeriTalk indicates that federal agencies can’t protect themselves quickly enough against attacks, nor can they guard against intrusions against all possible entry points that might be used by hackers. While federal agencies might be able to detect a threat to traditional targets such as email servers or Internet gateways, they are less able to deal with similar attacks on mobile devices or cloud computing.
