Our computers need to be protected just like our domestic soil. There are thousands of top secret documents that are targeted by hackers and other computer criminals. As a result, cybersecurity has become a popular policy issue within the past few years. Here is how our government deals with cyber crime.<\/p>\n

The primary funding mentioned below is encompassed within the Cybersecurity National Action Plan. This is the culmination of 7 years of research done by the administration, and it will address cybersecurity threats and intrusions. The plan will help the government promote internet and computer security to businesses both private and public. Here are some of its highlights.<\/p>\n

There are a few different avenues through which our government can funnel money in order to address problems with cybersecurity. For instance, according to whitehouse.gov<\/a><\/strong>, the President plans to allocate $3.1 billion dollars in the 2017 fiscal budget towards Technological Modernization Funding. This ensures that governmental computer technology is up to date and functioning. This funding also helps support maximum computer security on this equipment.<\/p>\n

The United States government is also investing in cybersecurity education for federal programs throughout the nation. The President plans to invest $62 million in this education. Among this funding will be scholarship programs for citizens who are wishing to break into the field of cybersecurity for the federal government.<\/p>\n

Moreover, this funding will implement a Cybersecurity Core Curriculum that will ensure that cybersecurity graduates have what it takes to work for the federal government. The president\u2019s budget is also incentivizing individuals to join the cybersecurity workforce by granting student loan forgiveness for those who are wishing to go into this field in the federal workforce.<\/p>\n
