Unfortunately, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s funding has been decimated, so we are left to our own devices (pardon the pun).
We need to take greater responsibility for protecting our own information while demanding stronger safeguards from our government, especially for the sensitive data of current and veteran military personnel. Additionally, private companies must also do more to prevent exposure. Robust cybersecurity programs across individuals, government, and the private sector are essential.
