To Reduce Risk, Feds Need To Reevaluate Their <strong>Cyber</strong><br />
Toolset<br />
By Matt Marsden, Vice President, Technical Account Management, Federal at Tanium<br />
From SolarWinds, to JBS Meatpacking, to Colonial Pipeline and more – successful cyber breaches in<br />
<strong>2021</strong> have left the federal government more wary of their cybersecurity tools and practices than ever<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />
In addition to the executive order aimed at strengthening the nation’s cybersecurity, Kathleen Hicks,<br />
Deputy <strong>Defense</strong> Secretary, recently ordered and completed a review of the Pentagon’s <strong>Cyber</strong>security<br />
Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. This ef<strong>for</strong>t signals a growing ef<strong>for</strong>t to reduce the exposure<br />
of federal and critical infrastructure systems to hacks.<br />
To “reduce risk against a specific set of cyber threats,” per CMMC, federal agencies and contractors need<br />
real-time data to make sound decisions. But, agencies often have more security tools than they actually<br />
need, and only 31% of federal cybersecurity managers are confident with their tools’ ability to provide<br />
data in real-time, according to new research.<br />
To better protect federal networks, agency IT teams should reevaluate their basic security posture and<br />
how they safeguard endpoints across the enterprise. Some of the top drivers <strong>for</strong> reducing risk,<br />
respondents noted, include compliance governance and policy, tools rationalization/consolidation, end<br />
user training, visibility across the enterprise, supply chain management, and real-time data.<br />
