Securing the Edge: Surveying Vulnerabilities in the Federal Government's IoT
The White House has pursued aggressive cyber policy in the past year aimed at minimizing network vulnerabilities, but a series of challenges threaten to wind back the clock, placing agency data and their devices in the line of fire.
Government employees increasingly rely on Internet of Things (IoT) devices to transmit sensitive, mission-critical information from remote locations around the world. With the IoT now on pace to exceed 30 billion units by the year 2020, time is running out for the federal government to secure this rapidly expanding network of devices.
GBC's in-depth research study of federal employees explores what is being done to secure this critical ecosystem of information and the challenges facing agencies at the tactical edge.
