The Federal Government has spent a long time developing efficient, strong security practices to verify and authenticate identities. With scams, identity theft, and impersonators at an all-time high, the Federal Government has developed policies and training to prevent attacks.

Embracing a decentralized modern enterprise IT ecosystem means accepting that mission critical workloads don’t just run inside of the data center. Modern customer and employee experience demands from the business are rapidly forcing IT leaders to adapt to a hybrid environment approach. Application and data are increasingly spread among multiple agencies, legacy data centers, hyperscaler clouds, software as a service (SaaS) providers, and...

If your agency’s day-to-day operations are critically dependent on assets – such as processing equipment, facilities equipment, and infrastructure at large repair sites – maximizing uptime is a constant challenge. Without timely maintenance, equipment failure can be catastrophic, directly impacting operations and reducing mission readiness. The traditional approach of scheduled manual periodic checks and asset condition repor...

Let’s simply talk about Continuous Authorization. It’s best to think of continuous authorization as Zer...

It’s no secret that getting a clear picture of your hardware, software, and services can be a challenge. Federal IT leaders frequently list vendor audits and unexpected software license true-up as a top concern. Add to the mix – constant adaptation to changing technologies, cyber-attack vulnerability mitigation, and IT asset availability and management in complex hybrid environments – and you start to uncover the challenges i...

In today’s traditional Operational Technology (OT) management environment, organizations use outdated software that does not scale to the demands of the modern digital environment. Organizations have struggled to efficiently secure, monitor and manage an Operational Technology environment. This along with a lack of effective systems management leaves OT systems open to significant cyber attack risk and financial impact. How can organizat...

Among other Federal Government initiatives, the Executive Order 14028 of May 2021, “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” triggered the creation of three documents, critical to helping agencies to adopt zero trust cybersecurity principles and adjust their network architectures accordingly.
