  "articleBody": "I had the opportunity to join a panel discussion hosted by [Frank McNally](https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankmcnally-govcon-marketing/),\nDirector of Learning and Content Development at Public Spend Forum, where we discussed cybersecurity procurement in the federal government.\nRounding out the panel was [Spence Witten](https://www.linkedin.com/in/spence-aintfiredmeyet-witten),\nVP of security solutions provider LunarLine, who has a wealth of experience with federal procurement in the\nsecurity space.\n\nCheck out why procurement officials need to take initiative when buying cybersecurity solutions (and how they can do it\nboth pre-award and post-award) and how security can be built into the software engineering process. And how we managed to\nmake references to the [Stanley Cup Finals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Stanley_Cup_Finals) and Shakespeare and Hemingway.\n\nI hope you enjoy it! Feel free to [let us know what you think](https://www.vidyasource.com/contact/).\n\n[Video: How to Buy Cyber--Getting Started](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypv73bkIERQ)",
