Frankly? I'd rather my taxes went to direct hiring of folks that can be PROPERLY VETTED AND CONTROLLED WITH SECURITY CLEARANCES internal to government bodies than to have to worry about situations like this. I am so stressed about the long-term effects of this.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I understand the concern. Proper vetting and security clearances are crucial to prevent breaches like this. It's a complex issue, but discussions like these are a step towards better security solutions.
@@XactCyber I really hope they have some of these discussions on the congressional floor because they owe it to the public to take this seriously. The lack of effort is just very frustrating at this point. I know that the IRS has the XD program but I haven't seen that any other agencies have something like that to develop new technology and move forward into the modern era. Like how we're one of the only developed nations where you can't just safely vote online. It's really embarrassing tbh. My spouse is a foreigner from a much smaller country (we bounce between the two) and is constantly horrified by how behind America is on everything to the point where we argue about where we're living permanently. I do hope, sincerely, that this is a bit of a come to jesus moment for the feds.
Many positions in government are filled by contractors. It has always been this way. Clearance is required for each position that a military personnel were to fill. Also, most government servants ARE vetted through this process. By that I mean, many of those directly employed by the government are pulled from these agencies.
Some interesting characters at Leidos. Same guys who ran security at the towers. Same guys who made airport scanners afterwords. Same guys making money on “cybersecurity” since the Patriot Act. Worth looking into.
It’s simple, these contract companies don’t do a good job after they get the contract, I recall contract monitoring company and never gave information on the systems, another company was responsible for client program updates, assessment showed no updates were done. Complete waste of time and money.
I have an entire Webinar if you are interested. Also, it is new. It hasn't even been adopted yet. It might be a requirement by 2025, but that's a long shot.

None of this matters without 3rd party compliance inspection and adequate penalties for non compliance. It has to hurt for a business to change.
you are 💯 correct

Great, They got all those close up x-ray scans of my junk now...
Don't worry, your secrets are safe. Leaked data were primarily internal Leidos documents.

You bring up a great point. Oversight/accountability is crucial in the contracting process.
They need to go back to old school paperwork for certain things
The challenge lies in finding the right balance between security and efficiency.
Old school paperwork still has major flaws. A insider threat is one of them. Also makes it easier to loose it
Zero Trust is like Batman!

So where are they why can't I read them? I think this is BS.
The specifics of leaked data are often sensitive and releasing detailed information publicly can hinder ongoing investigations.
@@XactCyber But if its leaked it would be everywhere. So its not leaked its just compromised.
Here come the GS to blame private contractors. 😅
It's a common reaction, though it's important to look at the entire supply chain.
Cybersec will NEVER be safe.
Cybersecurity is a constant battle!

Never omce explained what CMMC was. Also, it is not new, Leidos probably uses it.
