United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week approved the creation of the Bureau of Cyberspace Security and Emerging Technologies (CSET).
Initially announced in 2019, the CSET Bureau should help the U.S. and its allies better handle expanding foreign cyber-threats. It is also meant as a step toward organizing America’s cyberspace and emerging technology security diplomacy.
China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are considered by the United States threats to its national security, along with “other cyber and emerging technology competitors and adversaries,” the Department of State points out.
In fact, the agency also notes that challenges posed by these adversaries have increased significantly since the intent to create CSET was announced in June 2019.

Pre-award protests can be tricky. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) has jurisdiction to hear timely bid protests by interested parties regarding violations of procurement law or regulation. Under GAO rules, a pre-award protest challenging improprieties in a solicitation must be filed before the closing time for receipt of initial proposals or quotations. All other protests must be filed within ten days of when the protester first knew or should have known of the basis for filing a bid protest. In the case of
Quanterion Solutions, Inc. (“QSI”), the GAO held that QSI’s protest challenging the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA’s”) acceptance of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (“DTRA’s”) designation of a requirement for support services under the SBA’s section 8(a) business development program was just too late and dismissed the protest.
