Information technology vendors who can provide productive ways to protect against cybersecurity threats should find a welcome market among federal agencies. Cybersecurity is the major worry of government IT personnel, two recent surveys concluded.
Federal IT managers polled for a Cisco-sponsored study were asked to select which of nine possible scenarios posed the “greatest risk” to their agencies over the next year.
