First defined over two decades ago, zero trust has substantially picked up steam in recent years. President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity has taken it a step further by codifying zero trust as the Federal Government’s security architecture of choice. Nearly every agency desires to achieve zero trust, but the gap between their existing environments and the ideals they read about leave most st...

It’s no secret that getting a clear picture of your hardware, software, and services can be a challenge.

Now more than ever, government agencies need a quick way to implement a security strategy that is pervasiv...

The White House Executive Order on cybersecurity, issued in May following high-profile ransomware attacks on enterprises as varied as oil pipelines and healthcare, directs the federal government to “improve its efforts to identify, deter, protect against, detect, and respond to these actions and actors.” In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has already released guidance outlining security measures for cri...

The pandemic has given new meaning to “mission readiness” for the U.S. government. This includes strengthening Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems – encompassing financial, supply chain, and human resource functions – to facilitate making complex decisions based on clean and consistent data.

What has changed is the ever-growing number of sources generating data, and how emerging technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence are being used to unlock its value. Today data comes from everywhere – mobile devices, cloud-based software, IoT sensors, and more. According to an IDC InfoBrief released in May 2020, data created at the edge will grow 6x faster than that from other systems. J...
