These include multifactor authentication, full accounting of all devices authorized for use in government, encrypting all DNS and HTTP traffic, regular security testing of all applications, and adoption of data categorization and cloud security services to monitor data access.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This strategy is a major step in our efforts to build a defensible and coherent approach to our federal cyber defenses,&#8221; said National Cyber Director Christopher Inglis in a statement. &#8220;We are not waiting to respond to the next cyber breach.
