It’s been called a watershed event, a wakeup call, a punch in the gut, and the highest risk to national security since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
No matter what the label, back to back data breaches at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), first noticed by the agency in early 2015, were both bad news and an eye-opener, exposing personal data of current, former and prospective federal workers and their families, including Social Security numbers (SSNs), fingerprint data, addresses and even prior drug and alcohol use. The incursions – the first of which compromised data on 4.2 million current and former employees and the second laying bare the SSNs of 21.5 million individuals – thrust cybersecurity into the limelight like no other event in U.S. history and invited closer scrutiny of the way federal agencies are structured and what they need to do to bolster security.
