One Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) program that has been widely adopted throughout the federal government also is one of its longest-established – the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. Introduced in 2012, the program provides a dynamic approach to strengthening the cybersecurity of government networks and systems. The program has evolved over the past decade to add new capabilities, including c...

In today’s digital age, government organizations are collecting more data than ever before. However, many agencies are struggling to make sense of this data, which is often siloed across different departments, systems, and classifications. Enterprise-level data analytics offers a solution to this problem, allowing government organizations to break down data silos and gain a more comprehensive view of their operations. Join us as topic ex...

Modern warfare has dramatically shifted over the past two decades. Data and technology have become as important to 21st century defense as bombs and bullets. And as the U.S. expands its focus on Great Power competition with near-peer adversaries like China and Russia, the Department of Defense has placed a greater emphasis on using modern, data-driven technologies to enable better and quicker decision-making in life and death scenarios. Defens...
