The spread of 5G – fifth-generation mobile communications – across all levels of government is being accelerated by its usefulness in high-speed data transmissions and flexibility in customizing network applications. And the range of applications by government agencies made possible by 5G may only be limited by one’s imagination. Some of the innovations supported by this wireless standard were born out of necessity – at...

Federal agencies across government have started the shift in mindset from just patching and remediation to truly transformative cybersecurity modernization. There is no better example than the move to developing zero trust architecture governmentwide. While every agency is in a different stage of its ZT implementation journey, there are key guideposts and best practices that every federal IT and security team should be following to optimize th...

Government IT is faced with constantly evolving mission demands, limited resources, stringent compliance requirements, and always increasing customer expectations. Agencies increasingly recognize the importance of implementing scalable and secure cloud strategies to meet these challenges.Many agencies’ IT departments are learning that when teams are provided access to a configurable, no code/low code application platform, initiatives can...

Modern security threats are evolving at a faster pace than security technologies, while well-funded threat actors are investing in tools like machine learning (ML), automation, and artificial intelligence (AI). Legacy security operations centers – SOCs – are not equipped with the tools to respond to this rapidly evolving landscape, even as the volume of traffic and data grow exponentially. These challenges also come as many agencie...

As artificial intelligence (AI) applications proliferate across the internet ecosystem, other changes are being triggered, from the commitment to R&D funding to workforce development to new initiatives in higher education. The federal government’s spending on IT R&D and AI in fiscal year 2023 is estimated at $9.6 billion. Meanwhile, the University of Florida, for instance, declares it is “building an AI university,” a...

Cyber attacks are on the increase across all levels of government – and state and local governments are often targeted because they have fewer resources for security. For instance, an October 2022 survey found that more than half of state and local governments faced ransomware attacks in 2021, and just one in five organizations successfully stopped the attack. Strengthening the security and resilience of these agencies’ systems req...
