cyber threat – GTS Coalition https://gt.gtscoalition.com Advocating for small and mid-size security companies in the Federal security market Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:35:52 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Cyber Security Survey https://gt.gtscoalition.com/cyber-survey/ Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.gtscoalition.com/?p=4829 Last fall, the InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance (INCRMA), FBI-Washington Field Office, and the Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) co-hosted a cyber security program at which we announced our intention to develop a survey for companies to share their experience with cyber security “incidents,” hacking, viruses, spear phishing, malware, and other suspicious activity, in addition to asking about what kinds of tools and resources could be most valuable to help industry be more prepared.

gtsc_securityThe survey collects data on the type and frequency of computer security incidents in which a computer was used as the means of committing a crime against the company or as a conduit through which other intrusion and/or criminal activity was perpetrated. It also collects data about the type and size of the company, cyber security practices, and computer infrastructure.

The results will provide the basis for enhancing or initiating efforts to strengthen the information sharing and awareness to inform our public private partnerships and create meaningful programming and tools to combat the cyber threat. 

Initial results will be reviewed at our Cyber Security Awareness Month program on October 23 with Dr. Phyllis Schneck, the new Deputy Under Secretary of Cyber Security at DHS. The full results will be released this fall. The questions have been developed by GTSC from a previously issued DOJ survey, in combination with input from FBI-WFO’s Cyber Branch and the INCRMA’s Cyber Special Interest Group. Please feel free to share the link with others who you believe would be appropriate respondents.
