The government shutdown is officially over and it’s time for federal agencies to get back to business as usual. While many agencies are getting back to normal, the federal news cycle dealt with many of the pre-resolution stories, which included NIST delaying the launch of its preliminary cybersecurity framework. Of course, it was not all government shutdown news 24/7. The U.S. Army announced that is launching a cyber research alliance, and the private sector could see more opportunities to help NOAA with satellite capabilities. Be sure to read about this and much more in this week’s Federal News Round Up.
