Accelerating Cloud Migration for Agencies
Migrating to the cloud is not simple, especially if an agency wants to establish a multi-cloud environment that can support a growing number of apps and a wide range of services. Migration requires eliminating IT silos, a unified management and control system, automation of tasks, being able to extend and migrate apps and data in all the clouds in use, and more.
Solutions have emerged that aim to simplify administration, improve resilience, and reduce costs – all critical considerations for any agency. They address the critical cybersecurity challenges that risk management requires, including alignment with zero trust architectures that agencies are mandated to implement.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the strategic objectives that migrating to the cloud is intended to support
- Delineate the tools on hand and those that need to be added to facilitate the shift
- Outline the areas where costs can be contained or reduced, with metrics to measure achievement
- Define the roles of the agency, the cloud service provider, and any third-party services providers in providing cybersecurity
