America is experiencing a technology revolution, fueled by new funding and partnerships, and driven by workforce needs and global competition. From strengthening cybersecurity to training the next-generation workforce, the issues and opportunities presented by emerging technologies are changing government IT and the entire Federal ecosystem. Join MeriTalk, industry experts, and government leaders on Wednesday, January 11, to learn where the te...

It’s time to flip the paradigm…and see IT security teams and protocols as the “cloud accelerators” they are. Progressive security teams see the possibilities, but they need the right strategies, processes, and tools in place to make it happen. A zero-trust mindset is critical, but agencies also need a modern secure operations center (SOC) that acts as a security force multiplier. It’s a central command center tha...

While 84% of Department of Defense (DoD) IT decision makers say accelerating enterprise cloud adoption is critical to meeting warfighters’ needs, 96% still continue to face migration delays. What is hindering progress, and what do DoD organizations need to move the migration needle forward? MeriTalk surveyed more than 100 DoD IT decision makers to explore the impact enterprise cloud migration delays have on DoD missions, security, and co...

The Biden administration’s executive order on cybersecurity takes an ambitious swing at forcing improvements to cybersecurity nationwide – and issues authoritative directions to Federal agencies to modernize IT infrastructure and security concepts and practices. Agencies are tasked to meet aggressive timeframes for moving to cloud, adopting Zero Trust architecture, improving software supply chain security, and more. Some are well o...

The rapid shift to remote work in 2020 resulted in new security and IT priorities, and an unprecedented increase in complexity and visibility challenges. A recent survey of global IT and cybersecurity professionals looked at the impact of those changes and discovered a reported rise in IT, device, and security complexity – and widening visibility gaps. As agencies plan for employees to return to the office, either full-time or part-time,...

Secure multicloud-as-a-service (MCaaS) has the power to rewrite the cloud trajectory for your Federal agency – no matter where you are in your cloud journey. Adopting a multicloud strategy means leveraging the strengths of multiple cloud providers – including on-prem and edge cloud technologies – to acquire capabilities that best meet your business and mission requirements. And, as agencies look to migrate applications and wo...

CDM is the Federal civilian government’s frontline program to protect against and mitigate cyber-attacks. But security deployments often take years to complete, and in the wake of increasingly high-profile hacks that are thwarting top-notch defenses, time is ticking to meet the challenge. How is the CDM program working with agencies to accelerate the path to better security? And how should agencies engage the CDM program to inoculate aga...

As government organizations modernize and innovate, the old adage stands true – time is money. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can help agencies be more efficient and speed time to mission. Throughout this course, we will explore how to leverage AI/ML to automate processes for better insights and efficiencies; gain visibility into networks to detect anomalies and prevent cyber threats; and integrate ML into systems...

Mastering the cloud is essential to digitally transform your agency. Throughout this course, we will explore the ins and outs of cloud computing – how to leverage it to advance digital transformation and how to secure your cloud infrastructure for mission critical workloads. We’ll also uncover best practices for migrating to the cloud, how to build an infrastructure that supports both remote and onsite work, and how to acquire clou...

The concept of the Internet of Military Things (IoMT) brings clear, actionable data to the forefront, filtering away the noise to get to what really matters. In this course, we will explore the ins and outs of integrating sensors effectively across military base ecosystems. We’ll identify common challenges, draw insights from installations, and learn how to leverage devices at the edge. Do you know how the Department of Defense can integ...
