Protecting government’s mobile devices, networks and data has never been more challenging – or more important. Digital transformation and IT modernization can only grow on a foundation of trust, security, privacy and reliability. Simply protecting a network’s perimeter is no longer sufficient. What’s needed is a comprehensive, end-to-end security solution.
Attacks on IT systems and networks are increasing in number and sophistication, and government has fallen behind. To neutralize the threat, the government will need to update policies governing security, rethink the security aspect of contracting, cultivate a security mindset that is commensurate with the threat and incorporate security into business practices.
The hype around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has exploded, sometimes overshadowing the real uses and innovations happening at agencies today. The reality is that applying AI and ML to data-dependent challenges presents the opportunity for better security, faster innovation, and overall improved efficiency.
