Cybersecurity is a framework used to improve business operations by protecting sensitive data and mitigating cyber threats. The problem that the researcher addressed in this study involves the need for effective information security applications and best practices for IT decision-makers working within the federal government to combat cyber threats. As cyber threats continue to increase and evolve, federal IT decision-makers work to prioritize cybersecurity measures. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to gain insight about information security applications and best practices that are utilized to respond to cyberattacks against the U.S. federal agencies and to examine the gaps in understanding of how IT decision-makers handle cyber threats. The participants were 60 employees who worked in the information security government sector. The primary method for data collection in this study consisted of distributing an online 14-question survey. The data was transcribed, coded, then categorized into themes. The literature and the findings show that various best practices and information security applications can reduce and mitigate cyberattacks. The results of the study could improve organizational strategies that decrease the number of cyber threats and help government leaders plan and provide training to become more vigilant about addressing cyberattacks. Based on the findings, the recommendation includes providing cybersecurity and prevention training, conducting frequent computer system testing, implementing information system frameworks, and improving communication with internal and external stakeholders. Future academic researchers should focus on automating cybersecurity defense tasks by utilizing artificial intelligence, broadening the participant selection, implementing academic research best practices, and focusing on the root cause of knowledge gaps.
