Seeing and dealing with some of the data leak issues even coming from the VA...I am sure, to a point we can patch a few things but most of it is up to the actual folks who deal with data systems.
problem is, of course keeping up with hackers who keep trying to gain access and making sure that IT departments maintain adequate security.
Some of the problems I face in my department is that IT is so busy chasing it's own tail that they wind up locking out the wrong people who need access.
