Hopefully Obama will bring more techies into government.

There are plenty of them – one of the primary problems is that no “central command and control” of the government networks is in place.
The other problem is that commercial companies get some pretty unsecure products on the various enterprises because of the backroom handshakes from congress & senate types, and retired senior gov/mil folks.

Russian Cyber Ops (from the KGB) have been interfering with the Baltic Countries repeatedly over the past decade – Lithuania and Estonia being among those who were seriously hampered by recent attacks:

While the Russians deny any involvement in these activities, they’re not saying much about their interference with Georgian electronic infrastructure during the war last Summer.

More and more, it is apparent that we need our own version of “MI-6″,
with “Double-Oh” personnel.

Instead, we’ve got personnel in the DoJ writing some of the best restraining orders in town.
