Alexandria, Va., September 23, 2013 - MeriTalk, a public-private
    partnership focused on improving the outcomes of government IT,
    today announced the results of its new report, "FISMA Fallout: The
    State of the Union." The report, underwritten by NetApp, examines
    the state of cyber security at Federal agencies and looks at whether
    the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) is hurting
    or helping agencies improve cyber security and protect data.
    According to the report, Federal cyber security professionals lack
    confidence in FISMA, and do not believe their agencies' current
    cyber security solutions are sufficient and sustainable.

    Federal agencies face cyber threats from every angle. In the past 12
    months, agencies defended against insider threats or leaks (64
    percent), non-state actors (60 percent), and state-sponsored threats
    (48 percent). Given the growing number and increasing sophistication
    of the attacks, just one in five (22 percent) cyber security
    professionals rate their agency's cyber security solutions as
    sufficient and sustainable.
