Governments needs to update Cybersecurity

Governments from the state, city, county, and federal level needs to update their cybersecurity and network servers in their control grids. The reasons why public sector organizations and agencies keep on getting hacked over and over again is because they are not taking the time to update their networks and not putting cybersecurity as a priority one right now. Not only there are having outdated operating systems, ineffective security configurations, poor password control, failure to install security patches and a lack of timely scanning to detect vulnerabilities. To me this is a failure of leadership from the governor, state house, department heads on down to the cyber security director and I am not saying that government agencies are not behind the times, but they need to work jointly with the private sector i.e. corporate America for partnership on cyber security related issues.

Plus they need to increase their cyber security and budgets every year to fight hackers from hacking into their secure systems. If the governments from city, state , and federal do get on board soon then they will continued to have hacking problems, but this time it will be 10 times worse to the point where government services will be affected the most like payroll for government employees, social security for retirees, Medicare and medical payments from hospitals will grind to an halt, not to mention public safety as well. We have to understand cybersecurity is apart of our world and governments musts update their security networks in this cyber frontier we all live in I know this is scary but we must adapt to this new environment. Stop being reactive and be proactive to the situation at hard governments must need to really update their security patches, and stop making passwords must easy for the hackers to exploit to their advantages so sensitive documents don't get stolen or the files get corrupted by computer virus from internal and external threats. I don't care what a government official says their systems are not 100 percent secure and unhackable if a hacker wants to get into a government server they will find away in it is a cat and mouse game government leaders must become a hacker to take down hackers in their system and databases.
