Over the past two years, the Federal workforce has made the shift to a hybrid work environment, as a result the security and identity management within the Federal Cloud space has had to strengthen. Tune into this session to hear from Federal Leaders on the unique challenges of managing these identities across hybrid cloud environments. What are the fundamental capabilities needed for management of millions of identities within this hybrid clo...

As Federal agencies work to realize their cloud smart strategies, shifting to modernizing in a way that leverages both cloud and hybrid environments to transform the way they manage their data have become more prevalent. This type of modernization allows these Federal agencies to support the increasing and evolving operational needs of their missions in a flexible manner. Join this panel to hear a discussion on the best practices used to make...

High-profile software supply chain attacks, such as SolarWinds and Kaseya VSA, have shed a glaring light on the disparity between agencies’ perceptions of security within their cloud infrastructure and the reality of supply chain threats that can impact business catastrophically. The federal government has responded with an Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, guidance such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructur...

The advent of cloud has been a boon to organizations, giving them the power and speed to vastly expand their compute capabilities. And the advent of cloud has created new security challenges, as enterprises have limited control, visibility, and network security across a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environment. There are different approaches to providing security in a multi-cloud architecture, from relying upon cloud service providers’ ow...

Governments everywhere and at all levels should be applauded for finding ways to meet their citizens’ needs during the pandemic. While many agencies had continuity-of-operations plans in place, no one imagined that every agency would have to act on them at the same time. What made it possible, of course, was the rapid spread of cloud-based technology that enabled government employees to work from their own homes, frequently using their o...

Application modernization is a key consideration when switching from on-premises systems to the public cloud, whether the impetus is a cloud-first directive or a push from within IT to digitize legacy systems. It can reduce operational overhead, replace obsolete technologies and improve user experience. Listen as topic experts dive into why modernizing cloud applications is important for cloud migration. When taking on the task of modernizing...

Just as in the private sector, almost every federal agency is investing in digital transformation, to streamline processes, cut the cost of maintaining legacy systems, and unlock the potential of new technologies to deliver new and enhanced services. Agencies see the potential in hybrid cloud solutions, which require understanding how transformation advances the success of their missions. The challenges in executing digital transformation succ...

The recent cybersecurity Executive Order emphasizes the need for more structure and to start moving toward a Zero Trust architecture. This architecture is a broad strategy that follows the mantra, "Never trust, always verify," and assumes untrusted actors already exist both inside and outside agency networks. By moving federal agencies toward Zero Trust, their resources can stay protected through an architecture that adapts to the complexity o...

Panel: Accelerating Cloud Modernization through Migration within The Federal Government As Federal agencies work to realize their cloud smart strategies, shifting to modernizing in a way that leverages both cloud and hybrid environments to transform the way they manage their data have become more prevalent. This type of modernization allows these Federal agencies to support the increasing and evolving operational needs of their missions in a f...

The Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) have entered a new age of warfighting, where battlefields exist in the digital realm as much as the physical one. This makes moving to the cloud a mission imperative, but the resulting multi-cloud and hybrid landscape can lead to immense operational complexity. Managing that complexity is critical to the success of IT modernization projects both currently underway and contemplated...
