Federal Chief Information Security Officer Grant Schneider, speaking Thursday at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s summit, said agencies have “come a long way” on cybersecurity.
He pointed to overall higher Federal Information Security Management Act, and Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act scores as evidence that government has turned a corner on cyber.
“I think we’re all far more operationally focused with agencies,” Schneider said. “We’re able to hold agencies accountable, or at least highlight where they’re at on metrics and really get a lot of the basic stuff done and done well.”
