A recent study concluded that government agencies are deploying mixed-IT environments - whether on-prem, public cloud, CSPs, MSPs, edge, colocation - at a high rate and that hybrid multicloud is projected to grow almost 5 times over the next three years. Government agencies are rethinking their cloud strategies to meet evolving priorities and mandates and how to address this complexity, especially in the face of IT staffing and skills shortage...

When the log4j vulnerability was first identified in late 2021, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency responded very rapidly, including giving all federal agencies less than a week to identify and patch all their affected systems, and coordinating a nationwide response to encourage the private sector to do the same. But the vulnerability is likely to dog agencies and the private sector alike for years. There are at least two rea...

In the digital age, government agencies face increasing threats from spyware that can compromise sensitive information and undermine national security. To combat this, many government organizations are taking proactive measures by implementing executive orders and directives to ban specific applications on their mobile devices. However, this approach presents challenges in terms of scalability, visibility, and keeping up with rapidly evolving...

Federal agencies must undergo the complex and laborious process of security authorization to operate (ATO) for each information system (IS) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). Currently, most agencies rely on manual documentation processes. These include popular productivity tools to capture the applicable security controls and the status/plans of implementation of the controls for each IS as well as...

Today’s cybersecurity threat landscape means Federal professionals must take a proactive and practical approach to defending agency personnel, systems, networks, and data. IT infrastructures need resiliency that is built in, understood by the workforce, and prepared to work beyond the next threat. Creating a resilient IT architecture is not an admission of anticipated defeat. Rather, it’s insurance against probable events and incid...

In this session, we’ll delve into the common challenges of proving compliance, vulnerability management and reporting, and assessing control effectiveness. We’ll provide real examples into best practices to address those challenges. Our panel of experts will p...

The long-term effects of the pandemic continue to push agencies to accelerate IT modernization and move from owning their own on-site data centers to hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. The pandemic spurred greater customer demand for digital services, while employees adapted quickly to working from home. These trends, in turn, heightened the stakes for cybersecurity that protects the endpoints and strengthens data security – part of t...

Federal agencies have been mandated to migrate to IPv6 – the next-generation Internet protocol, designed to replace version 4 (IPv4) that has been in use since 1983. The move to IPv6 holds the potential to reduce operating costs for cloud service providers and faster performance for agencies that are looking to improve their systems’ throughput. Join us for this session to hear thought leaders from government and industry discuss t...

Join us as we discuss how multimodal Conversational AI can help government organizations enable immediate access and navigation of complex information. We will explore ways in which Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Large Language Models can be leveraged to deliver human-like conversational experiences for citizens and public sector employees. Hear from experts about the value of using Conversational AI within government agenc...
