Spencer Grady-Pawl commented on the post, Enhancing Government Cybersecurity With Managed Services, on the site GovLoop 1 month, 1 week ago
It’s interesting to think that regulations designed to improve security may actually hinder an agency’s ability to respond quickly to evolving cybersecurity threats–I guess the key will be striking the right balance between protocols and adaptability.

Hey Spencer,
I can’t tell you how much I related to your article. Having served in a “middle management” position in the private sector (before my current tenure in government service) much of what you wrote rang true! Unfortunately, for all the initiatives being pushed-down from the agency level, I can tell you that large bureaucracies just plain don’t recognize change agents. If I had a magic wand I would incorporate (even if only a little bit) the concepts of change management and project management to EVERY new supervisor. Keep on writing!!!

It’s cool but a little scary to imagine AI being responsible for security–I certainly hope the people developing these technologies know what they’re doing, or are at least familiar with the important issues raised by I, Robot.

Good resume-building advice! I definitely work to keep my resume concise and simple but sometimes wonder if it’s going to be enough to make the hiring manager want to take a second look. It really depends on the person.
