TY - JOUR AU - Erika Heeren-Moon AB - The focus of this paper is the need for more administrative infrastructure to secure the proposed centralized data center defined in the Act and subsequent regulatory efforts.

The lack of consideration for updating the federal interagency cybersecurity protocols demonstrates a missed opportunity and raises concerns regarding the risk for the new data structure. A proactive, standardized interagency cybersecurity and infrastructure modernization process for a data centralization policy is necessary to establish trust and reputation in government works, protect personal privacy, effectively balance ethics and economics in the federal sector, and generally act in the public good. By omitting the cybersecurity infrastructure from the regulation, the federal government is opening the door to potential catastrophe.
