With missions and challenges evolving at breakneck speeds, the cloud is crucial to expanding the reach of applications and data with greater speed and scalability.
NIST is updating its seminal Special Publication 800-53, which forms the basis of federal cyber requirements, to address an urgent gap in identity and authentication measures.
Computational chemistry may not be at your top concern, but in reality, it's a key to solving some of the world's biggest problems. It takes a massive amount of computing power, something not everyone has had access to until now. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is collaborating with Microsoft Corp. and Micron Technology to make computational chemistry broadly available to applied researchers and industrial users. For more, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with the PNNL scientist leading the effort, Karol Kowalski.
The Cyber Safety Review Board will investigate what agencies and industry can do to "strengthen identity management and authentication in the cloud.”
Federal CISO Chris DeRusha says using weak forms of identity authentication is like "driving without seatbelts."
House lawmakers are now investigating a China-linked hack that reportedly involved the unclassified email accounts of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and other high-level officials.
In today's Federal Newscast: Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wants agencies to investigate what he calls Microsoft's "lax cybersecurity practices." GSA's commercial platforms initiative is gaining steam. And Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants answers to "price gouging" by TRICARE.
CISA says a federal agency was only able to detect the infiltration of its email accounts because it had access to Microsoft's "enhanced" logging capabilities.
People are overwhelmed with digital input and endless meetings. Artificial intelligences holds promise for fixing it.
DoD will not be able to afford a fragmented security posture; its cyber analysts and defenders will need visibility across the entire cloud landscape, rather than having to swivel between separate instances. DoD will need a common picture of user identities, a common means of putting policy and protection onto endpoints, and a common defensive layer.
DARPA looks to three companies to help build a quantum computer that works for the Defense Department.
Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google and Oracle won spots on DoD’s Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) vehicle.
As federal agencies work to meet the milestones laid out in memorandum 22-09 in support of President Joe Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, implementing a strong identity and access management solution is a practical first step with a large impact in improving an organization's security.
The minimum security configurations should help agencies better secure widely used business applications.
