You’ve heard the adage, “How many networks are there in the world?” Answer: Just one.

It enlisted the MITRE Corporation to help foreign governments assess their own cybersecurity. MITRE’s lead in cyber capacity building, Johanna Vazzana, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin in studio for more on how it works.
