The global supply chain provides the opportunity for significant benefits to government, including lower costs, interoperability, rapid innovation, and a variety of product features and options. However, this also enables opportunities for adversaries to affect the management and operations of government agencies, resulting in risks such as counterfeit parts, unauthorized production, tampering, theft, or insertion of malicious software, as wel...

Government agencies have embraced the power of big data in crime fighting, health-related research, fraud detection, weather prediction, and for many other vital government areas. Nearly one-third of data is estimated to be unstructured, opening up questions about data retention, storage and timely access. This webinar will discuss how government agencies are achieving cost effective disaster recovery, complying with data governance mandates,...

According to the Congressional Budget Office, about one-sixth of Federal government spending goes to national defense. Our nation’s National Defense Strategy recognizes the increasingly complex security environment and the profound effect of rapid technological change. The drive to develop new technologies is relentless, and moving at accelerating speed. New technologies such as advanced computing, “big data” analytics, the c...

The Department of Defense’s mission is to deliver interoperable and secure information warfare capability by acquiring and integrating sensors, communications, weapons, information and control systems for mission success. The “as-a-Service” model is changing delivery of IT modernization by providing an agile acquisition model without vendor lock-in and flexible funding that scales up and down as needs change. This approach he...

The U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary launched a fast moving effort in 2017 to accelerate the Department of Defense's integration of big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. A recent report by Harvard University cites the impact of technologies like drones with bird-like agility, robot hackers, and software that generates photo-real fake video. The rapid progress in artificial intelligence is poised to bring an unprecedented surge...

The federal government collects data on nearly every aspect of life from census and pollutants to finance and geospatial, and everything in between. What used to be measured in megabytes and gigabytes is now petabytes and exabytes – and this growth shows no signs of slowing. Both data center reduction and the need for IT modernization are shaking up the way agencies can adapt to this growth.This webinar will explore technologies and tac...

The last few months have seen the impact of hurricane-driven flooding and devastating wildfires that have struck Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and northern California. The heroic actions of government organizations and citizens saved many lives. To be effective, rescue organizations must rely on communications and data, and when lives or livelihoods are threatened, the stakes are high; storage of vital government data and information must be ro...

In the seven years since the Cloud First mandate of 2010, Federal agencies have deployed a variety of cloud resources to transition from legacy-based infrastructure owned and managed by the government. In many cases, silos of legacy infrastructure have been replaced by cloud-based silos. According to leading market intelligence firm IDC, 82% of enterprises expect to use three or more clouds by 2020, while critical applications that require hig...

The Space and Naval Systems Command’s mission is to deliver interoperable and secure information warfare capability by acquiring and integrating sensors, communications, weapons, information and control systems for existing and future ships, aircraft, submarines, unmanned systems and the associated shore-based support systems. The “As-a-Service” model is changing the delivery of IT modernization by providing an agile acquisit...

Government agencies are using data every day to help citizens by streamlining traffic, deploying supplies to hurricane-ravaged islands, and tapping medical research results to save lives. Data is also being used to uncover fraud and unlock insight in myriad of ways to streamline the business of government. This webinar will explore the whys and how’s of turning data into intelligence in the public sector.
