In its most recent Executive Spotlight interview, ExecutiveBiz spoke with Jon Steinbach, president of federal solutions at Halcyon, to talk about the federal sector’s most critical cybersecurity challenges and the company’s anti-ransomware engine. He also discussed Halcyon’s efforts to drive value for its employees.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Steinbach about cybersecurity:
“One of my biggest concerns in the entire cybersecurity sector, especially for the defense and intelligence community, is the use of capabilities like ransomware to target individuals… From a government perspective, one of the key things is for the federal government to get a lot of these companies involved in game-changing innovations like anti-ransomware. The federal government is consistently working on and driving new innovations. … Industry support will provide a lot of talent to develop the new technologies, and even more importantly, the successful integration of those capabilities into the government systems and developing mechanisms to identify, test and bring to market even more innovative technology in the future.”
