This October, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced that the
Department of Justice (DOJ) is launching a Civil Cyber-Fraud
Initiative as part of the department's increased focus on False Claims
Act enforcement in the cybersecurity space. This initiative places whistleblowers and False Claims Act relators front-and-center as
critical parts of the government's cybersecurity strategy.

The Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative's main tool of the False Claims Act
empowers insiders to hold individuals or companies to higher standard
with regard to protecting government data. Specifically, the
initiative scrutinizes individuals or companies providing services to
the government that knowingly fail to report cybersecurity breaches,
provide insufficient cybersecurity services, or claim to provide
cybersecurity services which they in fact do not.
