Event Recap: Managing Data and Data Security Best Practices
Marisol Cruz Cain from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that in, “fiscal year 2022, federal agencies reported approximately 30,000 information security incidences, such as breaches and people getting past security firewalls.” A natural follow-up question to this is “how can agencies improve information sharing efforts between all the agencies responsible for cybersecurity to protect data?” Tori Miller Liu, President & CEO of AIIM maintains that organizations can benefit greatly by professionals within the organizations understanding their own value and brand and then communicating those to both colleagues and management. Given that 52% of those attendees polled during this virtual workshop were either somewhat or very pessimistic about their careers in federal government and that 79% have not developed a personal brand or are not communicating it, there is tremendous opportunity to enhance the explicit value and ability to share knowledge within agency workforces. During this two-hour workshop, experts in knowledge management and data security address the following and more:
- How START (Strategic Tracking and Reporting Tool) helps the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with data collection, reporting, and access as well as with collaboration, adaptability, and efficiency
