Why Is Cyber security Important for The United
States Government?
Cyber security is important as it safeguards data
across categories against theft and harm.
Cybersecurity is essential for governments
worldwide in protecting data, investments, and
citizens that are critical for the nation.
Federal government, or even local governments,
are using the best of Cybersecurity Vendors to
help prevent breaches and protect the nations
infrastructure from threats. To meet threats
posed to United States cybersecurity, the
federal government continues to develop
technological and policy capabilities for
protecting domestic systems and
infrastructure Federal agencies and others do
act with urgency specially in times of war or
domestic political uncertainty to adopt
comprehensive cybersecurity strategies.

They conduct effective oversight, protect Federal
systems, and safeguard cybercritic
infrastructure, privacy, and sensitive data.
They make significant contributions to the
modernization of cybersecurity protections,
protecting federal networks, improving
information-sharing among the U.S. government and
private sector about cybersecurity issues, and
strengthening the nations ability to respond
when incidents arise. This has led standards
bodies such as the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) They publish
frameworks that can help organizations understand
their security risks, enhance cybersecurity
measures, and deter cyberattacks. Cyber-attacks
are especially dangerous to Government agencies,
which store sensitive civil and national-security
data on their computer systems. Cybersecurity
safeguards the nations infrastructure,
classified data, classified information, and the
nations identity. Government agencies hold
information on every person in the country,
their financial data, and national-security-
related information. A cyberattack could expose
personal, public and corporate information,
while also endangering the federal
government Cybersecurity is the state or process
of protecting and recovering computer systems,
networks, devices, and programs from all types

    persistent threat faced by every industry
    reliant on technology.
  • It is crucial for a national critical
    infrastructure protection programme to have a
    strong management mechanism in place, develop
    strategies, governance, and technical standards
    of a nations overall national critical
    infrastructure protection programme, and
    industry regulatory bodies, who are charged with
    creating awareness and enforcing cybersecurity
    standards within their sectoral regulatory
    bodies.
  • Once that role is filled, White House is in a
    position to
  • Ensure that agencies are performing their
    assigned activities efficiently in order to
    support a nations cybersecurity strategy, and
  • Coordinate the nations effort to address threats
    and challenges related to cybersecurity within a
    nation.
