Today, the core missions of federal departments and agencies are in perpetual danger. Across the digital battlefields of cyberspace, threat actors have the upper hand and are pummeling not only the .gov environment but also the infrastructure, industry, and individuals those agencies serve. However, even as cyber attacks grow increasingly frequent and more severe, these critical institutions remain shackled by challenges including legacy infrastructure, ad hoc coordination, and reactive cyber defense operations. Significant year-over-year growth in dedicated .gov cybersecurity spending has improved relative cybersecurity maturity but failed to secure the .gov ecosystem from the ongoing onslaught.
