The FISMA Focus IPD

Karen Evans, co-chair and head of the east coast team for the CSIS Cyber Policy Task Force and national director for the U.S. Cyber Challenge, said the task force at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) worked with the transition team and the current administration on issues that should be covered in the upcoming cybersecurity executive order from President Donald Trump.

“One of the big focuses that I hope the administration will go for is looking at how the federal government is dealing with your information. There are specific things dealing with cloud and shared services and how to implement services in the cloud in a secure way,” Evans said. “There is a lot pushing towards that direction and using those technologies for security purposes — to reduce risk — not necessarily for cost efficiencies or cost savings.”
