National media is starting to pick the story up and I was interviewed yesterday for this piece (Portuguese only). Most of our conversation was about the topics I covered before in last week's blogpost but there is another extra bit of information that came to my attention in the meanwhile. In the post I mentioned a statement by the current Minister from March 2023 where he claimed that in the best case scenario, Portugal would get a better train factory, and in the worst case scenario, a worse o

CDC Data Maps Illustrate Threat Impacts It’s often impossible to confine environmental and public health events to a specific jurisdiction, agency or area of responsibility. That is particularly true of disasters with wide-ranging impacts. Last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched its Environmental Justice Index (EJI), a new mapping tool that uses 36 indicators to measure environmental, social and health impacts nationwide.

The Department of Defense outlined an aggressive zero-trust strategy in the past year, an “ambitious undertaking” in its deputy CIO’s words, and one that entails both the adoption of new technology and a cultural shift. To support this shift, the DOD stood up a Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office, helmed by National Security Agency veteran Randy Resnick and tasked with developing and aligning zero-trust efforts across the department.

Problem: Limited IT Budgets Slow Modernization Working with a limited IT budget typically forces an agency’s IT leaders to put up with outdated technology longer than they would. But at some point, something’s got to give. For instance, an employee at the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) was having trouble working with a spreadsheet. The problem was that the spreadsheet was massive, and their laptop didn’t have enough processing power to handle it, making it very unstable.

One of the best measures of productivity when it comes to data is speed to insight — that is, how quickly employees can begin turning data into meaningful analysis. Unfortunately, employees often have to spend an inordinate amount of time doing the preliminary work of ETL: extracting data from various sources, transforming it into usable formats and loading it into a data lake or warehouse. “If it takes me all week to put together a report, is that really a valuable use of my time?

For IT staff, managing legacy storage technology is a losing proposition: It takes an increasing amount of time and energy but provides diminishing returns. For example, many agencies manage multiple storage systems, each for a different type of storage format — e.g., block, virtual machine, file or object. Each format has benefits, but it can be a bear to manage all those individual systems and the interfaces involved.
