The feds need to admit that this is a devastating problem for them and they do not have the internal skills, nor do the beltway bandits and most other contractors. They need to go out and get the true professional white hats and solid cyber security firms to help deal with this head-on. To compete with the people who have these skills the US Government needs to hire the best of the best (much like they have top gun schools). We have lots of military hardware and military might, but we severly lack the skills the enemy of the future - that of the cyber realm.
