Software supply chain risk management and continuous monitoring are key strategies for maintaining a strong cyber posture in the cloud.

• Supply Chain

Federal cybersecurity leaders are seeking to protect critical assets through supply chain security and new standards.

• Zero Trust

From buzzword to White House imperative, zero trust can be a confusing but necessary concept for security strategies.

Changes brought by COVID-19 have produced a corresponding shift in federal cybersecurity posture, particularly among agencies responsible for overseeing health care and medical IT systems.

Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package includes $10 billion for IT modernization and cybersecurity needs at federal agencies.

Sometimes making the most of the cloud means rethinking cloud security. Many federal agencies are still in the process of transitioning to the cloud, but as they customize their cloud environments to suit agency missions and priorities, they encounter new security challenges.

One common refrain for securing information and communication technology (ICT) supply chains is to focus on acquisition and supplier visibility. According to top IT leaders at a FCW workshop this week, federal entities seeking to secure their ICT supply chains have a knowledge problem.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends security and IT professionals deploy a zero trust strategy and continuous monitoring to optimize cloud security, according to a new report.

Automating the authorization to operate (ATO) process could save federal agencies time and also enhance IT infrastructure security.

One month on, mobile device security and video-teleconferencing platforms enter the spotlight.

Forward-thinking agencies face fewer vulnerabilities as attacks ramp up in intensity.
