The General Services Administration is attempting to improve federal cybersecurity where it begins; at the acquisition process.

The cyber risk profile is one of six recommendations GSA and the Department of Defense submitted to the White House in January 2014. Emile Monette is the senior adviser for resilience and cybersecurity in GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy. He joined Federal News Radio executive editor Jason Miller on the Federal Drive to talk about GSA’s plans to improve agency cybersecurity. Read Jason’s related story.
