The existing U.S. federal interagency cybersecurity policy and infrastructure modernization is too fragmented to effectively secure the centralized data initiatives delineated in Title III of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. 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.
