Earlier this month, President Biden signed a historic infrastructure bill into law that plans to put millions of dollars towards improving transportation, broadband internet, utilizes and more. Of the provisions, an estimated $1 billion dollars towards cybersecurity to help government entities protect themselves from cyber-attacks and threats.

In Tom’s latest interview, Tom discusses the latest provisions and the growing cyber threats that continue to be rampant. Although, the government has made a sizable investment towards improving cybersecurity, corporations and businesses continue to increase their arsenal of protection. Tom tells Kitty, “Its sufficient to say, we have a big cyber issue and it’s a continued threat with hacks like SolarWinds and JBS Foods, this is the world we live in now. We need to invest in this issue, there’s no question and a billion dollars is a great start to doing so.”
