Zero Trust is a must for most federal civilian agencies in 2024, with the Biden administration’s directive for agencies to adopt at least some level of zero trust architecture by September. Faced with challenges in everything from automation and modernization to the hybrid work environment, today’s IT and cyber leaders aim to mitigate risk by adopting the latest zero trust security solutions to secure their endpoints and protect th...

Confronted with dynamic shifts in development environments and the emergence of intricate security threats, today's state and federal IT leaders grapple with a multitude of challenges in their pursuit of crafting advanced, secure applications for the benefit of the citizens and communities they serve. Despite the abundance of tools for creation and deployment and a wealth of best practices at their disposal, numerous agencies find themselves a...

As agencies prepare for a busy 2024, leaders across the public sector are evaluating how to streamline internal operations, meet the mission and improve the citizen experience. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, have great potential to do that and more. From enhancing citizen experiences to transforming operations to rethinking infrastructure, advancements in generative artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud c...

The threats facing federal agencies are becoming more challenging to predict and defend against. And for too long, security operations center (SOC) analysts have been inundated with alerts to triage manually, creating an inefficient game of whack-a-mole while critical alerts are missed and vulnerabilities remain exposed. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence have the potential to flip that paradigm and put defenders back in the dr...

As cybersecurity concerns and connectivity challenges grow in the public sector, so does the need for more protected, seamless communication. A cellular network with dedicated access to private resources can support classified and confidential applications. Whether it’s hybrid cloud or on-premise, on the battlefield or in a hospital, public sector leaders can facilitate efficient communication by leveraging wireless technologies like pri...

As hybrid work continues to evolve across the federal government, so do the security needs of agencies. As employees continue to leverage remote work policies to work from locations outside the traditional four walls of an office, accessing mission-critical data from a virtual work environment continues to be a challenge for remote employees. How should leaders balance the security of critical networks and data with the needed accessibility to...

Federal agencies house immense volumes of data critical to mission success — data that can improve CX, create more efficient processes and drive innovation. Fully leveraging that data, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, requires secure, effective data sharing. But developing a strategy that strengthens security while improving visibility and sharing is no small feat, and implementing such a strategy poses its own set...

So you’ve moved your mission-critical applications and workloads to the cloud. That’s a net benefit when it comes to saving your organization money and increasing its flexibility – but when it comes to improving your security, it’s not so cut-and-dried. The cloud expands your attack surface, and the more users you have, the easier it is for attackers to sneak into your environment via misapplied security settings and in...

Digital technologies have unleashed the enormous potential of data collection and analysis as well as, irrevocably changing the way we communicate and share information. Harnessing these digital technologies, specifically cloud innovations, is of utmost importance to the Department of Defense as they strategize ways to prepare for and shape the future of warfare. Consequently, the DoD has invested significant resources into cloud technologies...
