The road to an efficient and effective cloud system has never been an easy one — and now that road often passes through multiple providers as more agencies adopt a multicloud strategy. While leaders continue to turn to the cloud, technologists are falling behind when it comes to learning new cloud technologies. The gap between what leaders want and what technologists can execute creates foundational obstacles to multicloud success. Learn...

Data is everywhere and it is being pressed into service in ways that none of us could have imagined just a few years ago. But all too often the data governments collect is locked up in system- or program-specific silos. This makes it tough for jurisdictions to leverage data for new and valuable purposes, like supporting enterprise decision-making, measuring outcomes and performance, and carrying out higher-level analysis. Join Government Tech...

The “cat-and-mouse” game between Attackers and Defenders is as old as the LoveLetter virus. While script-kiddies have matured to become cybercriminals, hacktivists, and state-sponsored adversaries, sometimes it feels like the Defenders are stuck in 1999. We deploy anti-virus solutions, monitor the perimeter, and wait and see. Yes, today’s security technology is “Next Gen,” “2.0,” and “Meta,...

The increased use of data and artificial intelligence tools will transform education in the coming years. You already know the importance of managing and securing your data to pave the way for AI. Now it’s time to talk about leveraging your data and actually implementing AI tools and strategies. Join Government Technology and Microsoft on May 24 for a primer on data and AI in schools. In this 30-minute session, we’ll hit on: How to...

As state and local governments fend off increasing – and increasingly sophisticated – ransomware attacks and other cyber threats, they have accumulated numerous tools and solutions to help protect data and keep networks secure. But coordinating information across those solutions can be extremely difficult. Gaining visibility into these disparate systems – even, in some cases, solutions from the same vendor – poses a cha...

Connect the dots with OSINT The Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Summit will bring together OSINT practitioners, investigators, and enthusiasts alike to share their OSINT techniques and tools. As an attendee, you will learn current, real-world methods from others in the OSINT community who collect information across the Internet, analyze the results, and utilize key data to reach their objectives. The OSINT Summit will explore the following to...

According to recent research, over two-thirds of Federal agencies have already deployed robotic process automation and artificial intelligence to facilitate their missions. Metrics for the successful deployment of these emerging techologies have demonstrated a significant increase in the speed of service delivery, saving thousands of hours of annual work time while also substantially lowering costs and reducing data processing errors. This pan...

The goal of SecOps teams is to monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity and events. This often leaves them in a reactive state — with minimal opportunity to reduce false-positives and innovate. It doesn’t have to be this way, though. One key aspect of forward-looking, mature SecOps programs is the ability to gather context from data sources to inform — and expedite — investigations. In this sessi...

A comprehensive and secure data strategy is essential for federal and state agencies to deliver on their missions. Data is the foundation for most emerging technologies and agencies are poised to transform the way they think about, manage and secure their agencies data.The SNG Live Virtual Speaker Series will gather IT decision-makers to discuss best practices and the progress they’re making around data strategy, and how it undergirds de...
