In remarks condensed from an earlier interview, federal CISO Chris DeRusha explains how he plans to move ahead with improving security on federal networks, with or without the support of Congress. He answers the following questions:

  • How do you plan to measure effectiveness and progress in cybersecurity?
  • How do your plans line up with what lawmakers are hoping to do?
  • How can the federal government help improve the security of technology agencies are purchasing given budget restraints?
  • What is the role of the Federal Acquisition Security Council in the age of supply-chain attacks like SolarWinds?
