  • The Office of Management and Budget is mandating agencies continuously monitor their computer networks for cyber threats by the end of fiscal 2012.

Federal News Radio’s Jason Miller has an exclusive report on what the IT budget passback says.
  • OPM has sent teams around the country over the past nine months to help agencies change the way they recruit and hire. Angela Bailey is OPM’s deputy associate director for recruitment and hiring and in charge of the Mobile Assistance Teams, or MATs. At first she wasn’t sure how receptive the agencies would be to OPM’s assistance. But she says the overwhelming response from agencies speaks to their need in completing the reforms.
