crowdsourcing ideas to fix federal cybersecurity"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Office of Management and Budget works on its Federal Civilian Cybersecurity Strategy, industry and agency representatives at ACT-IAC are working on their own paper, trying to meld public and private sector knowledge of cybersecurity issues into a single, cohesive report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the next 30 days, the group will be taking comments through its <a href=\"http:\/\/actiaccyberinitiative.ideascale.com\/\" title=\"http:\/\/actiaccyberinitiative.ideascale.com\/\">Cybersecurity Innovation Initiative website<\/a>, focusing on eight subject areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Addressing Cyber Fundamentals<\/li><li>Business Initiated Vulnerabilities<\/li><li>Breach-to-Response Acceleration<\/li><li>Adopting a Threat-Aware Proactive Defense<\/li><li>Sharing of Threat Intelligence<\/li><li>Solving the Talent Search<\/li><li>Executive Leadership-led Risk Management<\/li><li>Building Effective Security into Acquisitions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organizers are looking for fresh ideas and perspectives on cybersecurity but not specific solutions or product pitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite that, the group is interested in industry perspective as much as the government side, as well as ideas from academics and the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>More: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/cybersecurity\/2015\/07\/14\/civilian-cybersecurity-strategy\/30138103\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/cybersecurity\/2015\/07\/14\/civilian-cybersecurity-strategy\/30138103\/\">Civilian Cybersecurity Strategy coming this summer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re really hoping that the ideas that come in are across the board \u2014 technical, operational, managerial, perhaps R&#038;D oriented,&#8221; said David McClure, chief strategist at Veris and executive vice chair of IAC. &#8220;We&#8217;re really suggesting to the respondents that they open the door to thinking about what can be done to advance the operational security of the federal government.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone can contribute through the website, which also includes a voting feature so users can advocate for the ideas they think are best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a great way to stimulate discussion and a very good way to collect ideas in a very timely manner,&#8221; McClure said, describing the initiative as a form of crowdsourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report will look beyond recent cyber issues \u2014 like the two massive breaches at the Office of Personnel Management \u2014 though those will inform the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Full Coverage: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/section\/OPM-Cyber-Report\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/section\/OPM-Cyber-Report\/\">The OPM Data Breach<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s certainly looking broader than just OPM but OPM in itself is a case study upon which many of these questions [are based],&#8221; McClure said, noting the breach-to-response question as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But many of these issues facing the government are not new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Having been a CIO at a couple of agencies previously, you also see some very deep rooted, long-standing issues,&#8221; said Mike Howell, vice president at large for ACT and co-chair on the report. &#8220;We see breach reports every year where known vulnerabilities are exploited over and over again; why is it so hard to recruit and retain and cultivate a highly skilled cyber workforce in the federal government \u2014 these are long standing issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once finished, ACT-IAC will present the report to OMB and the Federal CIO Council as another resource for improving the government&#8217;s cybersecurity posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Related: <\/b><a

administration<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will also act as an open resource for anyone who might benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The cybersecurity people in ACT-IAC see this \u2014 in addition to whatever OMB might do and whatever the CIO Council might do \u2014 as a very timely, potentially beneficial product to all the members of ACT-IAC,&#8221; both in government and industry, Howell said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government-industry group is looking for fresh ideas for bolstering federal
