The well being of our nation and those that protect our nation’s freedom is more dependent then ever on secure, reliable and available information and the underlying networks and systems that deliver it worldwide. The complex and advanced infrastructures that support Defense and Intelligence agencies are under constant threat and attack. The challenges of cybersecurity and information assurance are constantly evolving which demands continual changes and new strategies to deter these threats. Government agencies acquire, build and deploy numerous types of technology to achieve their missions with an increased need for contracting outsourced services such as on-demand applications, cloud computing and business processes. Ensuring that appropriate information security protections are appropriately implemented is a challenge. With increased scrutiny on spending and contracts, agencies must undertake steps to independently verify and audit financial systems as well as the contracts for IT services and solutions.
