In 2022, federal agencies saw their cyber strategies evolve and mature like never before – and for good reason. Agencies were confronted with a threat landscape growing increasingly more complex, bad actors becoming more and more sophisticated, and continued cyber directives from both the White House and the Office of Management and Budget that brought new attention and priority to both cybersecurity and cyber resiliency.

That’s why GDIT and IBM regularly partner to deploy joint solutions that promote cloud security, enable cyber threat hunting and incident response, and secure the software supply chain. Together, we support agencies’ zero trust maturity journeys and offer enhanced visibility and preparedness that enables agencies to become ever-more resilient as well as to proactively detect and respond to cyber threats.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Akiba Saeedi, Vice President, IBM Security Federal, and discuss the unprecedented cyber challenges and progress within federal agencies this year. We looked ahead to where agencies will be focused in 2023 and how both organizations are positioned to help.
