On this edition of Fed Gov Today with Francis Rose, sponsored by Maximus, we explore the evolving cyber threat landscape from the FBI's perspective, strategies for small businesses to team up with larger government contractors, and a radically different approach to IT modernization. The FBI’s Internet Crime Report reveals over 880,000 cybercrime complaints in 2023, with losses exceeding $12.5 billion. Deputy Director of the FBI, Paul Abate, shares insights from the Billington Cybersecurity Summit, discussing the rising cyber threat from nation-states like China, Russia, and Iran, as well as the FBI’s no-fail mission to prevent and respond to threats.

Additionally, Larry Reagan from Maximus explains the benefits and challenges of small business teaming in government contracting, and Pavan Padugu, CTO of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, outlines his agency’s “radically different” approach to IT modernization aimed at transforming and streamlining processes for the future.
