In this episode of The Business of Tech, we discuss the Biden administration’s search for malware believed to be hidden in the networks controlling power grids, communication systems and water supplies that feed US military bases. We also discuss the Office of the National Cyber Director’s National Cybersecurity and Education Workforce Strategy, which aims to tackle the issue of hundreds of thousands of vacant US cyber jobs. We also discuss the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation’s report on the US losing its global leadership position in digital policy and the 15 point plan to reassert the nation’s digital dominance. Finally, we discuss the MSP and IT services market, corporate and government spending on technology services, and the launch of Fortify, a tool designed to streamline and expedite the application of Microsoft’s security recommendations for MSPs.
