Technology companies have an opportunity to win US
government contracts by working with the Obama administration on
cybersecurity projects, according to analyst
Forrester.
In a
report, Forrester outlined the
Obama administration's plan and discussed how technology
companies can win contracts for upgrading the nation's
cybersecurity infrastructure.
Forrester said the Obama administration plans to declare cyber
infrastructure a strategic asset and that it will create a national
cybersecurity advisor.
A big opportunity for firms is in technology planning, said the
analyst, where companies can provide support for overall strategy,
information sharing and early-warning systems.
