Addressing Long-Standing Cyber Challenges

Today’s Innovation in Government Report highlights the government’s IT modernization challenges. Dennis Reilly, the Vice President of Federal Sales for Gigamon, says agencies today have a unique opportunity to address long-standing cyber challenges.

I really think it comes down to technology. It won't be technology alone, but technology is where we can have a big game changer. We've got some tremendous advantages here in the U.S. With cybercrime having an estimated $6 trillion price tag by 2021, there's a high profit motivation. So there's a lot of venture capital and a lot of smarts going into how can we use technology to counter nations' threats, cybercriminals and hacktivists. I think the challenge for the government and for industry is to find those handful of technologies that are real force multipliers that can make a big impact on the cyber fight.
