Today, information is worth more than riches. The new currency is data. With this being true, the state of cybersecurity within the upper branches of the government was shockingly under-prepared. In this episode, I speak with Mark Montgomery, the former Executive Director of the Cyber Solarium Commission, about the report the commission published in March 2020 and how that document has influenced the US Government’s roadmap to improve cybersecurity, prevent cyber attacks, and protect the nation's data. Join us as we discuss:

•  Critical steps forward for cybersecurity 
•  Six pillars of importance in federal circles
•  Challenges in the cybersecurity workforce
