Alliance for Digital Innovation

Thanks to Pete Waterman and everyone who joined us for today's discussion about FedRAMP 20x.

We shared our recommendation on the U.S. AI Action Plan. By adopting a risk-based approach to AI governance, modernizing procurement processes, prioritizing AI in cybersecurity, fostering public-private collaboration, and investing in workforce development, the United States can reinforce its position as a global leader in artificial intelligence. ADI stands ready to support these efforts and collaborate with policymakers to achieve these objectives. https://lnkd.in/diae9eQP

The Alliance for Digital Innovation submitted?comments?regarding its concerns with the proposed amendment to the Federal Acquisition Regulation related to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). ADI hopes that its comments on this rulemaking will contribute to strengthening the protection of sensitive information, understanding what constitutes sensitive information, establishing clear standards for marking sensitive information provided by the government, defining the government’s ownership and responsibility for determining CUI, and ensuring robust security requirements for CUI as it pertains to federal contractors. https://lnkd.in/eeYJErGk

Important new research on quantum supremacy from ADI member D-Wave

As state governments across the country seek to eliminate waste, streamline operations, and improve public services, many are turning to efficiency programs inspired by the federal government’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative. While reducing costs and eliminating red tape have been the most publicized goals of these programs, there is also a new emphasis on replacing expensive, outdated legacy IT systems. Not only would such efforts enhance citizen services, they would, more importantly, bolster cybersecurity in the public sector. As cyber threats continue to evolve, securing government infrastructure is more critical than ever.

From Inside Cybersecurity: Two industry groups are urging House and Senate leadership to make an investment in the work of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency by providing an additional $250 million for fiscal 2025 in appropriations, as work continues to reach an agreement among lawmakers on federal funding for the current fiscal year. “As Congress debates funding for the remainder of FY 2025 and works with the administration to identify cost savings and efficiencies, we urge you to increase the budget for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to fund important functions,” the groups say in?a Feb. 11 letter?to House and Senate leadership. https://lnkd.in/eQTVSmnQ

The Alliance for Digital Innovation and the Cybersecurity Coalition sent a?letter?to leaders in Congress to urge them to increase the budget for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to fund important functions. This investment would simply put cyber funding on track to restore prior-year levels adjusted for inflation and is critical to ensure the agency can defend the nation against the growing number of cybersecurity threats. To effectively address these challenges, the groups recommend that CISA’s budget be expanded in key areas: defending federal civilian networks, coordinating national cyber defense and information sharing, and leading efforts to safeguard U.S. critical infrastructure, particularly in response to escalating cyber threats from the People’s Republic of China. https://lnkd.in/dtZACT-3
