With advancements in technology and service delivery, government agencies are faced with the challenge to keep pace with rising expectations from the public to deliver the same level of service received in the private sector or better. In order to deliver on this expectation, government agencies are faced with creating a cultural shift that literally shapes a new citizen engagement strategy involving technology, policy, programs, collaboration intra/inter-agency, customer friendly interaction and two-way mechanisms for feedback and best practices in service delivery. With the number of citizens who will require government service interactions growing literally every day, and those very same citizens demanding a leadership role in how they receive those services, "customer-centric government" is no longer a buzz word, but a necessity.

You've heard of Stuxnet --the destructive computer virus unleashed on Iran's nuclear facilities. It was believed to be the world's first cyber weapon. But now we're learning that it has a twin --and the twin actually came first and started eating away at Iran's nuclear facility at Natanz years before the more public version we learned about in 2010.

It's so sophisticated that one US police force was hit by the virus and forced to pay a ransom using a new virtual currency called bit coins.
