(PRNewsChannel) / January 13, 2010 / Bedford Springs, Pa. / GTRA released a cyber security research brief today featuring results from a collection of interviews with GTRA government council members. This research brief highlights the important security initiatives in 2009, identifies key areas of concern as voiced by executives, and discusses success factors required for cyber security activities moving forward.

Featured as some of 2009’s key security initiatives were the National Leap Year Initiative, the 60-Day Review, the Presidential Cyber Security Strategy, which called for naming a Fedreal Cyber Czar, and various Civilian/Defense/Intelligence Community Collaboration.
 
“It is a widely accepted belief that an application, network or system must be built with security and risk management as a foundation; not merely a component or element of the whole,” said Parham Eftekhari, Research Director, GTRA. “Despite this, there is still tremendous work to be done in the area of cyber security, and as more information and services critical to supporting this country are moved to technology platforms, the urgency is only increasing."
