While federal agencies face hurdles to digital transformation and using technology to improve processes and the citizen experience, they are making steady progress. Modernizing legacy, monolithic applications that have resided on on-premises hardware and adapting them to more modern, cloud-based environments is an ongoing project across government. Modernized apps run faster and more efficiently and are also less costly to operate.

“If you can’t hire enough experienced security professionals, why not outsource routine, repetitive tasks? Or activities that require special skills? Or jobs that someone else has figured out how to automate?” – 2022 Cyberthreat Defense Report An agency’s limited budget or staff shortages doesn’t negate their need for strong cybersecurity. But how can your IT staff take the precautions they need to secure your data while facing those budgetary and staffing challenges?

So you want to create a vendor diversity program. Where do you start? What pieces should you have in place for success? The most common thing preventing procurement teams from creating these initiatives is not having a starting point. Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with DeNita Lacking-Quinn (Supervisor at City of Dallas Procurement Services) and André McEwing (Supplier Diversity Manager at Tarrant County College) during our TexasTalk event to get their tips on creating an effectiv

There are likely hundreds of individual networks across the federal government, reflecting the number and breadth of agencies. Most highly federated agencies alone have multiple networks. In recent years, there has been a push among agencies to consolidate networks. The Defense Information Systems Agency has been working to consolidate the networks of the Pentagon’s non-warfighting support agencies, collectively known as the “fourth estate.

Imagine you have a massive cache of digital family photos, and you’re looking for images of your child’s kindergarten graduation. Sure, it’s great having all those photos on the computer, but unless you tagged them in some way, there’s no quick way to find what you need. This dilemma mirrors how valuable information can be so difficult to find when it comes in the form of “unstructured data.

Over the last few days, Portuguese media have been enthralled about a procurement case involving a stage for Pope Francis upcoming visit in August 2023. The country is hosting the World Youth Day with the main event being held at a space between the municipality of Lisbon and Loures. The crux of procurement matter is the *temporary* main stage which will be costing a cool €5.4M to build and be used for a couple of days.

At the crux of every cybersecurity strategy is an identity data management challenge: How much information does an agency need to verify the identity of an individual requesting access to network resources? As it turns out, a lot. The problem is that edge computing — in which data is being aggregated, accessed or processed outside the network perimeter — is leaving data exposed to cyber criminals who see an opportunity to make money through ransomware schemes.

Even the most organized people occasionally slip into disorder. Perhaps they neglect to file something or tidy their email inbox, or maybe they allow a stack of papers to grow haphazardly on the corner of their desk. For those of us who struggle with personal organization — whether it’s been a lifetime challenge or something more recent — developing an organizational plan can seem overwhelming.

Maybe you started a new job or just got a promotion, and you’re questioning if you’re qualified. Or maybe you got an assignment you feel woefully inadequate to complete. Where does this unwarranted sense of insecurity come from? Those feelings of fraudulence have a name and need to be called out. Nearly 70% of the U.S. population experiences imposter syndrome, and that energy can either fuel or cripple you.

Let’s say defense analysts are trying to connect the dots around terrorist activity. Using various data points such as bank account numbers, location coordinates, equipment types and names, analysts can derive a cohesive “story” from the data that aids the mission. To do this, traditionally, analysts combed through data from various sources — spreadsheets, databases, cloud storage, etc. — to manually input into an Excel file and then make connections between the fields.

Local government services play a role in so much of our everyday lives that they become invisible. How often do you think about the water you fill your coffeemaker with each morning, the street you drive your children to public school on or what happens after you drag the trash bin to the curb? They’re all services that hum along — until something goes wrong and residents get loud.

The Internal Revenue Service handles all federal taxes, so training employees about such a huge responsibility can seem intimidating. But, since 2013, the Self-Help Online Tutorials (SHOTs) program has been the IRS’s secret weapon. SHOTs utilize microlearning — or short, simple educational videos — to inform IRS workers about topics such as safety leave.

Innovation and cybersecurity often seem at odds. That is, until there’s a shared understanding of what problems employees are trying to solve and how security can enable a strong solution. If IT is being done outside the role of the chief information officer (CIO) it means that those who rely on the IT department are not getting the service they need, or maybe it’s too costly or perhaps as a mission owner or operator they don’t feel heard, said Robert Costello, CIO at the Cybersecurity & Inf
