Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014

November 28, 2017

The far-reaching cybersecurity incidents of 2017 demonstrate that we cannot ignore the harmful impact that poor cybersecurity practices have on the Nation. Hundreds of millions of Americans had their personally identifiable information (PII) compromised in a string of data breaches that exploited unpatched vulnerabilities at companies whose core services focus on safeguarding that very information. Tens of thousands of Federal employees and taxpayers also had their information compromised because of agencies’ limited data and website protection. These incidents continue to demonstrate that effective cybersecurity requires any organization whether a Federal agency or a public or private company to identify, prioritize, and manage cyber risks across its enterprise.

But we know the enduring challenges of fulfilling that promise. A defining competition between democracies and autocracies. The COVID-19 pandemic. The climate crisis. Mass migration and displacement. The denial of education and sexual violence against women and girls across the world.
