Federal agencies understand that cybersecurity has to be the foundation of their operations, from online to back office.
For instance, the telecommunications breach by Salt Typhoon, a Chinese government-backed hacking group, targeted both U.S. political leaders and national security information. First detected in early summer, in December the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said at a press conference there is no way to estimate how long it will take for the hackers’ access to be shut down.
One major challenge for agencies is how to meet these requirements while looking for ways to incorporate new technologies that can streamline their operations. The biggest example of this is the explosive advent of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool that agencies are tasked to incorporate.
