Understanding the False Claims Act in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity protection is one of the federal government’s highest priorities, with billions invested annually to safeguard sensitive systems and data.

If you work in cybersecurity, IT, compliance, or product management for a company that sells to the federal government, you may have seen red flags such as unpatched vulnerabilities, misrepresented security certifications, or software shipped without basic cybersecurity safeguards.

Under the False Claims Act, these violations can lead to multimillion-dollar penalties for your employer and multimillion-dollar rewards for you if you step forward.
