The White House tells agencies they’ll have more tools to detect cyber threats on their networks. The Homeland Security Department wants to install Einstein 3A software at 52 agencies by the end of 2016. That’s two years ahead of schedule. The Office of Personnel Management is still trying to figure out how hackers got a hold of personal information for about four million current and former federal employees. Dave Wennergren is the vice president of technology at the Professional Services Council, and former assistant deputy chief management officer at the Defense Department. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose that cybersecurity is the biggest priority and challenge for agency CIOs.
