With the overnight shift in remote work and IT management, growth of hybrid cloud environments, and emergence of new and sophisticated cyberthreats, data security is top of mind for today’s federal agencies. To stay resilient, today’s agencies must reshuffle their data protection strategies to remove data silos, while comprehensively safeguarding their data estate. In this webinar, we will discuss how FedRAMP-approved backup solut...

Agencies and departments have a huge problem in their isolated data structures including their geospatial data silos. Each group wanted its own repository with different access points, schema categorization and classification levels, and historically these have been very air-gapped between public and private sources. The National System for Geospatial Intelligence has renewed its focus and mandates to harness the entire GEOINT community throug...

For the Department of Defense, data is critical—it must be accessible. Although data is often the DoD’s most strategic asset, data volume and complexity can make it difficult to optimize its benefits. The DoD is dedicated to optimizing its mission by operationalizing the power of data—data sharing, visibility, accessibility, governance and protection. The DoD’s commitment to cloud migration has become increasingly evide...

Recent events have taught us that mission critical infrastructure stability is more important than ever as applications and continuity is only as reliable as the underlying infrastructure. It keeps organizations running, citizens connected, and stakeholders engaged. In uncertain times, you simply cannot afford to have your critical systems go down or lose access to data. The costs of system downtime are not only measured financially, but also...

Effective Data UsageAccording to recent estimates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day. By the year 2020 it’s widely estimated there will be 40 zettabytes of data and government agencies will own much of it. This data comes from everywhere including sensors used to gather climate information, public safety and emergency management organizations, healthcare systems and more. The value of making this data open and available...
