Facing “pervasive” and “increasingly sophisticated” cyber threats, the Department of Homeland Security is adapting its approach to cybersecurity, Deputy Assistant Secretary Matthew Travis said at an Aug. 16 industry day held in Arlington, Virginia. Senior DHS officials also described key changes to the department’s role in governmentwide cybersecurity efforts and offered a forecast of procurement opportunities available through fiscal 2020.
The event, hosted by the National Protection and Programs Directorate’s (NPPD) Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C), was held to enhance transparency and build a more collaborative relationship between government and the private sector, DHS Assistant Secretary Jeanette Manfra told the roughly 500 in attendance.
