Moving IT security from human to machine speed -- GCN

Cybersecurity is a top priority for federal agencies. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has proposed a cyber funding increase of 4 percent across the government, including significant hikes for the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. There are even larger cyber funding spikes at key agencies, with a 23 percent jump at the Energy Department, a 33 percent jump at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and a 16 percent hike at the Department of Veterans Affairs. IT analyst firm Gartner, too, has reported government CIOs will increase spending on cybersecurity. Its survey showed that CIOs at defense and intelligence agencies see artificial intelligence as a crucial technology investment -- more so than their counterparts in other industries.
