Cyber threats constantly evolve and so must the security strategies used to combat them. Legacy security strategies can bog down an organization’s efficiency and decrease their overall safety. A Zero-Trust Architecture can alleviate the pain points of these traditional approaches. By enacting an around-the-clock defense strategy, the safety of the organization is always the number one priority. Join GovExec and CDW-G for this webcast whe...

Federal agencies rightly focus on ensuring that preventive cybersecurity controls are as comprehensive as possible. But what happens when controls fail and an adversary succeeds in launching an attack? It's a basic tenet of zero trust security models that the defender should assume a state of constant breach. Given the high stakes in today's cyber threat landscape, a sound cyber strategy must be based on the assumption that, sooner or later, t...

Emerging technologies have radically shaped the modern battlefield, challenging the nation's defense systems and capabilities as never before. To maintain a tactical and strategic edge, defense agencies have to adapt and incorporate swiftly-changing technologies and capabilities into their arsenal. Join the Defense Readiness Workshop to learn more about today’s cutting edge tools and ongoing efforts to push the envelope and develop the t...

New, exciting and transformative technologies have the potential to reshape how the government fulfills its mission. Emerging technologies have been born both out of long-standing challenges to government operations and in reaction to shifting priorities and citizen demand. Continuing cloud migration and management, more potent cybersecurity and supply chain risks, budgeting, as well as evolving remote work environments, all play a part in inc...

Federal agencies are migrating to the cloud to deliver digital services that better serve the nation’s citizens. But explosive growth and increased complexity in recent years has made these cloud environments unmanageable. And with soaring costs, cloud is now a material expense and a leading source of unexpected, unbudgeted charges for these agencies. Unfortunately, basic cloud management strategies and tools can no longer support these...

Driven by technological innovation and rising international uncertainty, today’s Intelligence leaders face complex challenges in identifying and addressing insider threats to their organizations. Though not always malicious or intentional, such vulnerabilities can cripple a company’s infrastructure, causing significant monetary loss, compliance difficulties, or broader reputational collapse. Amidst this confusing landscape marred b...

The advancement of cyber threats, sharp increases in supply chain attacks, and widespread compromise of privileged credentials pose persistent risks to government agencies. Without a one-size-fits-all approach and a multitude of applicable technologies and areas to invest, leaders are left juggling cyber tools and competing frameworks in hopes to find the right approach for their agency – both in implementation and financing. Afterall, i...

A recent report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies says the Department of Defense needs to strengthen its software design in order to maintain a competitive edge against foreign adversaries. Harnessing the power of data and analytics remains a critical part of achieving mission goals across all federal agencies. Government organizations need to constantly innovate and strengthen software design in order to stay ahead of th...

Across the government, agencies have found it increasingly challenging to identify, organize, analyze, and act on the flood of data they collect. This is a problem leaders are actively working on, but with data stored in disparate and often untracked silos—there is no quick and easy fix. For most public sector organizations, decades of data exceed even the most advanced processing capabilities. So what tools should agencies use to collec...

The networks of today are a complex, hybrid mix of cloud and on-premise resources being accessed by users globally from a myriad of devices. This has significantly increased the attack surface which must be defended. While efforts are continually made to prevent breaches, modern organizations assume breach and seek to minimize breach impacts. Finding innovative, adaptive security measures, like micro-segmentation, is key to ensuring an organiz...
