U.S. Cybersecurity is Deficient

The U.S. government does not have the best track record on cybersecurity. With at least 75 cybersecurity failures over the past eight years and 13 in the past six months, U.S. government cybersecurity efforts could use some revamping.

But the U.S. is about to go in the opposite direction. Sequestration will cut 9.4 percent from every part of the defense budget. These cuts will hit cyber operations, including cybersecurity programs in the Department of Homeland Security.
