   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.
