The groups specifically pointed to agencies that are on the front lines of the pandemic, such as the Small Business Administration, which recently experienced a loans system crash, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/04\/06\/small-business-loan-program-system-crashes-169614\" target=_blank>according to POLITICO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter also called for more money for the Technology Modernization Fund, a pot of money at the General Services Administration that is used in partnership with federal agencies on modernization projects. In the House draft of the last coronavirus relief bill, House Democrats suggested $3 billion for the fund. In the fiscal 2020 appropriations bill passed in December,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/budget\/2019\/12\/17\/heres-how-much-money-congress-gave-to-the-modernization-pot\/\" target=_blank> the fund received $25 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter calls for a funding level that \u201cwould allow for meaningful investment in cross-agency IT modernization initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The groups also called on Congress to ensure IT modernization appropriation includes \u201cfocused attention and investment&#8221; on cybersecurity, workforce training and process transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate document, titled \u201cPrinciples for IT Modernization in Future Stimulus Package,\u201d the groups said that the last coronavirus relief package didn\u2019t provide enough funding for cybersecurity needs related to a remote workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document called for funding to bolster bandwidth and remote capacity; upgrade virtual private networks; increase the use of the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Trusted Internet Connection 3.0; and boost funds for the GSA\u2019s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, which approves cloud tools for use in the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this new era of remote collaboration, government must take advantage of the opportunities created to modernize processes for efficiency, security, and cost savings \u2014 but must also act to reduce inherent risks associated with an increased reliance on connected technology that leaves agency networks and information vulnerable without appropriate safeguards,\u201d the groups wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funding for IT and cybersecurity cannot be forgotten as the federal workforce works from home, the groups said
