The Department of Homeland Security failed to effectively implement a critical retention incentive program for cyber talent, according to a new report from the agency's inspector general, which found that federal funds meant for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were used incorrectly. In 2015, the agency implemented the Cyber Incentive program. The goal, the inspector general said, was to provide extra incentives to employees that might otherwise leave the federal government. More than $100 million has been spent on the program in recent years. The program “was designed to help CISA retain mission-critical cybersecurity talent needed to execute its mission,” the report noted, and was meant to consider a series of qualifications to guide who received the retention benefit. The government hoped to keep in-demand technology experts in government. The watchdog wrote that “CISA's implementation of the program wasted taxpayer funds and invites the risk of attrition of cyber talent, thereby leaving CISA unable to adequately protect the Nation from cyber threats.” Instead of being targeted toward valuable talent likely to transition to the private sector, the payments were disbursed generally, with many ineligible employees receiving tens of thousands of dollars in payment. The Pentagon's chief information officer is undertaking yet another reform of the Defense Department's IT enterprise — this time focusing on streamlining its classified networks to enhance data sharing and interoperability. Katie Arrington, who is performing the duties of CIO, plans to introduce a new program dubbed “Mission Network-as-a-Service” that aims to reduce the number of disparate data fabrics used by combatant commands into a single, unified network. Speaking last week during the Billington Cybersecurity Summit, Arrington said the program will be key to realizing the department's vision for Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or CJADC2. Broadly speaking, CJADC2 seeks to connect the U.S. military's sensors and weapons under a single network, enabling rapid data transfer between warfighting systems and domains. The Pentagon also wants to be able to quickly share relevant information with international partners and allies during conflicts, adding another layer of difficulty to realizing the construct.

Local TV news used to be the trusted place where communities got the facts. But today, something’s changed—and not always for the better. In this episode, I sit down with veteran anchor Elex Michaelson, who pulls back the curtain on the dramatic shifts inside America’s local newsrooms. What’s driving the changes? From corporate takeovers and cookie-cutter scripts to the loss of investigative grit, Michaelson exposes how profit motives and political agendas have transformed local stations from watchdogs into watered-down infotainment. Viewers are noticing—and tuning out. We’ll break down the biggest shifts, why they matter, and how the decline of local TV news leaves a dangerous vacuum in our communities.
