The explosion of connectivity and multiplying data sets have opened millions of entry and exit points for data – consequently identifying a breach is about as easy as looking for a needle in a haystack. Hence, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence now stand shoulder to shoulder with our cyber defenders on the thin digital line. So, how are agencies leveraging big data analytics to harden systems without sacrificing performance,...

As the world’s largest owner and operator of data centers, the U.S. Government and its agencies spend enormous sums of money to ‘keep the lights on’. But proven innovations such as virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure and cloud computing have reduced agencies’ dependence on maintaining massive legacy IT systems. Innovation in the Federal IT enterprise is mission-critical to reducing and avoiding costs, enhancin...

Please join Gigamon and our partners for the 2nd Annual Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit. This half day event will feature a keynote address by former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, plus sessions on best practices and insights from government CISOs and cybersecurity practitioners. The Summit includes breakfast, lunch and networking opportunities.

As federal agencies look to evolve their IT infrastructure and explore hybrid cloud initiatives, federal IT teams are increasing their focus on accurately benchmarking the performance of their mission-critical application workloads before migrating to a new architecture, and ensuring performance and availability once the migration is complete. Once your mission-critical apps are migrated, having an accurate and reliable understanding of worklo...

Data is all around us, and it is becoming increasingly hard to abstract relevant insights from our data that lead to intelligent action. With this in mind, we invite you to join us for this can't-miss Meetup where you will hear about the advanced analytics capabilities, and see how raw data is transformed into actionable insight used to save lives. One use case we'll discuss is the recent White House “call to action” around traffic...

Course Objectives This course is intended to provide both the novice and experienced dam or levee safety emergency planner with valuable lessons and sk.ills that will allow them to develop new EAPs and improve the effectiveness of exist­ing EAPs. The course is a hands-on, interactive workshop, covering the basic elements and knowledge required to prepare, implement, update, and review effective EAPs that will mesh with the constantly chang...

Growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing has magnified the impact of the security challenge by orders of magnitude. Join Wally Rhines, CEO of Mentor Graphics, as he examines the growing threats to silicon security and possible solutions. As electronic system hackers penetrate deeper—from applications to embedded software to operating system to silicon—the impact of security threats is growing exponentially. Viruse...

Federal agencies are under pressure to optimize data center efficiency and effectiveness. As agencies serve mobile users, manage expanding flows of data, and employ platforms, services and infrastructures as a service, these data centers must be dynamic, elastic and reliable. These imperatives are sparking fresh thinking about how federal agencies should approach network management. A key challenge is that hardware-centric networks cannot supp...

Agile has moved beyond software development. DevOps brought building, testing and releasing software into an agile construct, and now agile principles are finding their way into non-software areas such as business operations and hardware development. The reason is that agile offers more efficient and effective ways of getting things done: Faster delivery of value Focus on outcome Better quality Alignment with business needs The purpose of this...

As many agencies race to buildout their application backlog with their new microservices architectures, many are grappling with the decision of whether to integrate those services with their legacy systems. Whether or not to reuse a legacy system(s), at the expense of duplicating integration logic across services or rewriting the legacy system is a common dilemma. Join us for this complimentary webinar to explore how agencies can leverage a mi...
