Abstract One of the national challenges facing the US is protecting its federal network, systems, as well as information. The Federal Government has been a victim to several intricate, properly financed, and persistent cyber intrusions. OPM, which forms the basis of discussion for this paper, is the president’s manager and consultant for issues pertaining to human capital. It manages the country’s most crucial asset, that is, the citizens. Although the government has highlighted the need to eliminate invasion, various setbacks tamper with its efforts towards averting cyber threats. In fact, the recent intrusion is a clear indication of how much a disaster cyber intrusion is to America. Therefore, to guarantee the security of data, there is the need for the initiation of change process to ensure the adoption of up-to-date information technology approaches and best practices. Introduction On June 4, 2015, OPM disclosed that it had been a victim of cyber invasion (Pacifici, 2015). More than 4.2 million federal employees were affected by the data breach with private information such as health information, username, and passwords being compromised. OPM further revealed an isolated cyber intrusion later in June where confidential information of about 21.5 million people was stolen, particularly in relation to housing background investigation (Finklea, Christensen, Fischer, Lawrence, & Theohary, 2015). Moreover, intrusion is part of a long list of cyber invasion against OPM and information and network systems whose infrastructure must be renovated to not only protect data for personal protection, but also national security. OPM ensures that institutions that deal with human capital shape them in a manner that people can provide and utilize their skills and understanding to meet the needs of Americans and the government. Other than ensuring submission to the personal rules and regulations, it also offers retirement and medical benefit. The agency is of great significance to Americans. Hence, any interruptions in its systems are bound to cause serious setbacks for the country. Yet, the OPM breach was the largest cyber intrusion into government data systems (Fowler, 2016). News concerning the breach account that the intruders accessed confidential data such as Social Security Numbers and job details. The second attack saw the hackers access even more sensitive data such as fingerprints. This tragic attack follows a backdrop of cyber assaults aimed at OPM databases. In fact, in 2014, a similar attack had been targeted to systems that contained clandestine security approvals (Finklea et al., 2015). The OPM cyber intrusion was discovered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Einstein system, which is designed to detect potential internet attacks. Investigations disclosed that the perpetrators used forged security passes to access the OPM systems (Pacifici, 2015). Officials who are in charge of investigating the matter have been reluctant to name the perpetrators. Influential leaders have associated the assault with China. It may turn such a security into a political exchange (Fowler, 2016). As expected, China has not overtly refuted the claims but has encouraged the joining of forces with other international communities to overcome the vice. The
