Cybersecurity is a vast and varied field for government, especially when you consider budget and workforce shortages that can further strain cyber teams. However, many agencies are stepping up to the challenge and finding innovative ways to address cyberthreats. Broadly, there are four major cyber advancements we see across government.
Across the board, government agencies are looking to implement tools that can increase productivity in any way possible. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has found its way to the top of the list, with many agencies looking to incorporate it to improve the work that their staff is able to do.
Robotic process automation is a new buzzword that you’re sure to hear more of across government. But what is it and what should employees know about it?
Federal agencies have been directed to move toward robotic process automation (RPA) in an effort to reduce the burden of low-value work.
Algorithms are the set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, and they are also a hot topic in the technology world.
Predictive analytics analyze current and historical facts to forecast future outcomes, and the practice is a cornerstone of a fully-realized IoT strategy.
While AI provides significant advantages, it can be challenging to adopt without the right computing and development resources to enable it. Many government agencies, however, still struggle with legacy and outdated IT infrastructures. That’s why a trusted and robust cloud infrastructure is a critical component of the DoD’s journey to AI and machine learning.
Michael Sherwood discusses a range of tech topics in the latest edition of the GovLoop “CIO Conversations” series.
Government adoption of blockchain is still nascent but a few brave government agency leaders see the potential of the technology, and are experimenting with ways to use blockchain to make government services more effective.
