Over the past two years, state and local governments have seen a historic influx of federal funding. From the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan Act to the Investment in Infrastructure and Jobs Act and the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, billions of federal dollars hold the potential to create long-term progress in state and local governments across the country. The biggest target of these federal dollars is infrastructure. Between crumbling roads and strained public transit systems, the nation’s infrastructure needs thoughtful investment.

In the digital age, cyber-attacks on federal networks and critical infrastructure threaten core functions of the government and stability of the economy. In order to protect and defend against attacks on critical services, federal agencies often need to act and react quickly, creatively, and with agility. In order to achieve these ideals, proactively maintain federal network security, and quickly resolve known issues, CISA releases binding and time sensitive emergency directives. Complying with these directives is necessary to protect agencies from attacks and exploitation, but they can often present various implementation challenges. Join GovExec TV as we talk with federal IT security experts on how agencies can overcome challenges to implementation and respond quickly to these emergency directives by understanding vulnerabilities, utilizing agile systems, and understanding how to navigate the federal budget.
