Security experts debate federal approach to cybersecurity
By William Jackson
Excerpt:
“DHS has done a successful job,” said Tom Kellermann, vice president of security awareness at Core Security Technologies. But it has been hindered by a lack of continuity among politically appointed managers and a lack of resources, and it has ceded its leadership role to the Office of Management and Budget.
Paller and Kellermann advocated capitalizing on the government’s $70 billion IT budget by requiring industry to provide more secure technology for federal acquisitions. Agencies should require auditable service-level agreements for information security that assign liability and provide for legal recourse, Kellermann said.
