The financial toll of cybercrime will hit $6 trillion annually by 2021, or about 10 percent of the world economy, and government is the #1 target for these cyberattacks. As cloud migration takes hold, agencies are adopting a zero trust methodology to secure critical infrastructure. This webinar will address how agencies can tap IT modernization funds to update the legacy systems and move to the hybrid cloud.

Cybersecurity touches virtually every aspect of government, because in the digital economy, virtually everything is connected. That means that, in the era of enterprise clouds, everything is at risk for a cyberattack. Based on over 20-years’ experience securing military infrastructure, most recently for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, speaker Eric Hammersley will explore how security can be baked into modern infrastructure.

The last few months have seen the impact of hurricane-driven flooding and devastating wildfires that have struck Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and northern California. The heroic actions of government organizations and citizens saved many lives. To be effective, rescue organizations must rely on communications and data, and when lives or livelihoods are threatened, the stakes are high; storage of vital government data and information must be ro...

In the seven years since the Cloud First mandate of 2010, Federal agencies have deployed a variety of cloud resources to transition from legacy-based infrastructure owned and managed by the government. In many cases, silos of legacy infrastructure have been replaced by cloud-based silos. According to leading market intelligence firm IDC, 82% of enterprises expect to use three or more clouds by 2020, while critical applications that require hig...

The Defense Information Systems Agency views the cloud as the centerpiece of data center consolidation, enabling the military to conserve budget as well as free up space in existing facilities for mission needs. The Department of Defense has a global mission to deliver capabilities and data to millions of soldiers and civilian employees around the world every day in real time. This video webinar will explore best practices for implementing a m...

Nearly seven years ago, the U.S. government began a mandated march to the cloud to accelerate the pace of innovation and contain costs. What about the cloud is working or not working? Are agencies fully realizing the promised cost savings? How pervasive is cloud adoption? And, what workloads are agencies putting into the cloud? A survey of 150 military, civilian and intelligence agency technology decision makers, conducted by Market Connection...

Government agencies face complex choices when moving to the cloud, but the benefits are compelling. Budgetary pressures are driving the need to lower operations and maintenance costs and cybersecurity concerns are escalating the need for modernization. This webinar will explore the techniques government can use to optimize their IT operations, consolidate data centers, improve governance and compliance, and chose the right approach for their a...

Federal IT organizations have made strides since the Cloud First mandate of 2011, and Forrester Research has named 2017 the year of the enterprise cloud. While the new Administration determines its vision for Federal IT, we know certain requirements will remain: cost efficiency, security, flexibility, and simplicity. Technologies like hyperconverged infrastructure and enterprise cloud have proven to be a practical and widely adopted approach t...

Today’s technologies offer government agencies numerous ways to cut operating costs, improve service delivery, strengthen national security, and enhance mission performance. Government’s increased reliance on technology has expanded the attack potential. By every measure, attacks on government systems are growing in sophistication and numbers. At the same time, IT systems are growing more complex — and more difficult to defen...

Continuity of Operations (COOP) is the initiative that ensures that Federal Government departments and agencies are able to continue operation of their essential functions under a broad range of circumstances including all-hazard emergencies as well as natural, man-made, and technological threats and national security emergencies. Today’s threat environment makes COOP planning even more critical. This webinar will explore how government...
