Identity theft: Exposure of personal information can lead to financial and reputational damage for citizens.
Reputational damage: Data breaches erode public trust in the government's ability to protect sensitive information.

National security: The loss of sensitive data, particularly classified information, can have severe consequences for national security, including:

Compromised intelligence operations: Exposure of intelligence sources and methods can weaken national security capabilities.
Threats to critical infrastructure: Access to critical infrastructure data can be exploited by adversaries.
Loss of competitive advantage: Disclosure of sensitive research or technology can harm U.S. economic competitiveness.
