Having a « legacy mindset » is a real productivity killer, US government workers believe.
When it comes to cybersecurity, the US government not only has legacy systems – it also has a legacy mindset, a new survey has found. Google Cloud surveyed US government workers on the state of cybersecurity and found many feel their employer is lacking when it comes to security protection. The survey, which polled 2,600 working Americans, found the majority of those employed in government agencies were “very” concerned about cyberattacks and malware. Furthermore, almost a third of government workers in the D.C. metro area experienced a disruption at work, because of one such incident. The majority believe a cyberattack against an institution of the federal government was likely.
