Congress established the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program to provide adequate, risk-based, and cost-effective cybersecurity and more efficiently allocate cybersecurity resources. The CDM Program provides agencies with capabilities and tools to identify cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, prioritize these risks based on potential impacts, and enable cybersecurity personnel to mitigate the most significant problems first....

Since the Modernizing Government Technology Act was enacted a year ago, agency CIOs and CTOs have made technology modernization a priority. The resulting digital transformation has broadly impacted agency mission, workforce, and citizen interaction. This webinar will explore how agencies are using automation to fundamentally transform government.

The Federal government has made significant progress in cost containment through data center consolidation. OMB’s recently updated Data Center Optimization Initiative has established new mandates and metrics for optimizing government data centers. Shared services, hybrid cloud, automated infrastructure management and advanced energy metering are at the heart of these policy changes. Yet, mission-related information that is gathered and p...

As both public and private cloud continue to mature, many government agencies are leveraging multiple clouds to satisfy their diverse enterprise computing needs. This multi-cloud approach allows government agencies to choose the right cloud for each workload, be it a mission-critical core application such as enterprise resource planning, or cutting-edge cloud-native analytics apps. This webinar will detail the five essential steps agencies sho...

As more citizens access government services online and via mobile devices, the need for effective and accessible digital forms increases.

This webinar will explore how agencies are using continuous diagnostics and mitigation to improve government’s overall security post...

Twenty-five years ago, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) opened the door for government to procure commercially available technology “to the maximum extent practicable” to meet agency requirements. Since then, there has been significant regulatory and statutory preference for the use of proven commercial products that can eliminate the need for research and development, minimize acquisition lead-time, and reduce the n...

What if public service employees had more time to do the strategic work that requires analytic thinking? In the United States, 58% of citizen-related processes are still paper-driven. To reduce the burden of repetitive workloads, the President’s Management Agenda charges agencies to use emerging technologies like robotic processing automation to redirect resources to accomplish mission outcomes that matter most to citizens. This webinar...

As more citizens access government services online and via mobile devices, the drive to sign documents digitally is increasing rapidly. Manual procedures in use now often require citizens to print, hand-sign, and scan government forms, a procedural process that impedes efficiency, results in lost or misplaced documents, and widens the gap between citizen expectations and the government. This webinar provide an overview of how the digital workf...
