How Cloud Tackles Security Challenges
Agencies are preparing to move more sensitive data to the cloud and are seeking out new resources to ensure security.

We recently sat down with Janet Stevens in her D.C. office to talk about current initiatives, IT modernization, adopting emerging tech and more.
The director of Georgia DCSS discusses how the state successfully employed a mobile app to address over 400,000 child support cases.
If agencies limit modernization efforts to replacing or upgrading outdated legacy systems, they will only make limited gains in terms of performance and security. Instead, government should undergo an agency-wide digital transformation.
A better way to acquire IT that more closely matches the speed of innovation has long been a priority for agency CIOs. The government is responding with new acquisition approaches.
In government, there is a huge push to consolidate data centers and move processes to the cloud. With automation, agencies can move workloads to the cloud quickly, while staying secure, and not requiring an increase in manual processes.
The government CIO is now responsible for a massive amount of internal business processes which have been fundamentally altered due to the infusion of technology.
While initial Infrastructure-as-a-Service capabilities provided significant benefits, such as cost savings and improved security, there are still untapped advantages of cloud that agencies have not fully realized. One of those advantages gaining momentum is serverless computing.
Agencies at all levels are finding new ways to serve constituents using cloud services, whether it’s improving transportation or protecting the environment.
CIO Dorothy Aronson is collaborating with forward-thinking staff to introduce microprojects that allow the agency to test and scale new technologies and processes.
