Agencies that have built network infrastructure over decades may not be doing enough to manage basic cyber-hygiene practices and stay ahead of modern threats, cautions a new report. When out-of-date configuration rules lurk on networks, attackers essentially have a back door to walk into government systems. However, modern network modeling platforms, capable of integrating into existing infrastructure, can help agency IT departments identify and manage cyber risks and accelerate essential hygiene practices. Network modeling tools give agency leaders a way to simulate upgrades and evaluate the impact of planned changes to their networks, as well as review past connections and rules. This can be helpful when trying to accurately understand the costs associated with cyber risk, explains the report, produced by FedScoop and CyberScoop and underwritten by RedSeal. Cyber-hygiene practices to reduce risk Targeted attacks on government agencies are becoming more sophisticated. To defend networks, IT administrators need to know […]

Is it fair to judge an organization’s information security posture simply by looking at its Internet-facing assets for weaknesses commonly sought after and exploited by attackers, such as outdated software or accidentally exposed data and devices? Fair… Continue reading Scanning for Flaws, Scoring for Security
A growing cadre of federal IT leaders recognize that fortifying their defenses is no longer enough to protect their agencies amid the rising tide of cyberthreats. The reality is that cybersecurity threats are evolving quicker than most agencies can respond. Nearly 7 in 10 federal civilian agency IT leaders — and more than half (55 percent) of their defense and intelligence agency counterparts — say their agencies aren’t keeping pace with evolving threats, according to a recent study from CyberScoop and underwritten by RedSeal. That statistic is leading agencies, including the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems, to look for more effective ways to contain breaches, improve resilience and sustain critical operations unimpaired during attacks, according to a separate report released by RedSeal. According to the report, the agency is in the process of acquiring automated network mapping and modeling tools to improve cyber resilience, including tools […]

While about 2 in 3 federal IT officials claim their agency can detect cybersecurity incidents within 12 hours, they also stress the need for more skilled cybersecurity help to confirm that there aren’t deeper, undiscovered threats lurking in networks, according to a new study. Federal IT executives are relatively confident that their agencies can absorb a cyberattack and continue to function, but a number of gaps in cybersecurity resilience remain. More than half of IT leaders at civilian agencies — and 6 in 10 at defense or intelligence agencies — say their agencies don’t have the tools and resources needed to meet their security objectives. Moreover, the majority of IT executives believe the threat landscape is evolving quicker than their agencies can respond, pointing to increasing urgency to automate systems and enhance network visibility, the study found. The findings are part of survey of federal IT leaders, released this week by CyberScoop […]
