CIOs’ confidence in cloud, new cyber tools helping IT reforms gain traction

CIOs are more positive about the impact FITARA will have over the next few years, particularly in giving them more authorities and additional oversight over technology acquisition.

Executive editor Jason Miller conducted the survey and joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin discuss it.
