Survey Says Government is the Biggest Cybersecurity Threat
A new survey says that government is the target of cybercriminals and nation state attackers, citing the OPM security breach as an example.
The State of Cybersecurity in Local, State and Federal Government, sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and conducted by Ponemon Institute, says that a lack of skilled personnel is a challenge at both federal and state and local organizations. However, the challenge is more severe at the state and local level (62 percent say this is a major challenge). At the federal level, 53 percent of respondents say not having the necessary expertise is a disadvantage.
