Cyber Security Among Top IT Spending Priorities
Although continuing resolutions and ongoing budget cuts will have an
impact, most federal IT spending requests are slightly ahead of 2011 levels, with
buying trends expected to emphasize cyber security as a top priority. Related
priorities include telework and mobile computing as well as cloud computing/
virtualization.
Emerging Trends Creating Cyber Security Opportunities
In part because significant risks are associated with mobile computing
and cloud-based applications, cyber security will continue to top federal IT
technology trends. Government-wide, agencies are beginning to integrate
security systems into mobile and cloud-based infrastructures. Agencies
will first develop risk-aware missions and business processes, followed by
enterprise architecture with embedded security, and then implement continuous
monitoring programs.
