GAO’s Advice for Bolstering Federal Cybersecurity
Jennifer Franks, Director, ITC, and Acting Director, Analytics Foundry, GAO
Cybersecurity is a critical component of organizational health no matter the federal agency. Yet federal leaders across government are struggling to change culture, improve workflows and promote good cyber hygiene to prepare for the threats of tomorrow.
The Government Accountability Office’s IT and Cybersecurity Division assists Congress with assessing and improving the government’s critical IT investments and develops best practices that are used across the government to guide decision-making.
The division’s Director Jennifer Franks breaks down where agencies fall short in implementing cybersecurity recommendations and discusses ways that federal leaders can improve their cyber hygiene through better hiring processes, stronger cybersecurity requirements and promoting an inclusive and team-oriented culture.
