Join us as we explore how the U.S. military can ensure equipment readiness by preventing, rather than responding to, maintenance problems.
Breaking Down the Walls in Government DevOps Initiatives
Agencies are quickly embracing modern technologies and methodologies to increase time to market and decrease their costs of mission critical applications. Among the leading technologies being adopted is microservices with DevOps being the contending new methodology to support it.
Government Endpoint Security: Current Initiatives and Best Practice Tips
Governments are among the most highly targeted networks in the world. From political campaigns to government personnel to intelligence and troop planning, government data is of great interest to nation-states and others for a variety of reasons. Accessing sensitive government data means accessing the assets that can connect to it or house that data. Servers, workstations, virtual desktops and other devices can all suffer from vulnerable operating systems and applications – a way in for a would-be attacker. New exploits to take advantage of a vulnerability and new malware appear daily, and slow government patch cycles make this even more concerning.
Integrating your Existing Systems into a Microservices Ecosystem
As many agencies race to buildout their application backlog with their new microservices architectures, many are grappling with the decision of whether to integrate those services with their legacy systems. Whether or not to reuse a legacy system(s), at the expense of duplicating integration logic across services or rewriting the legacy system is a common dilemma. Join us for this complimentary webinar to explore how agencies can leverage a microservices platform to make the most of their IT dollars. By building a service façade on top of existing applications, it can make those applications easily accessible with other microservices without the risk of modifying the existing systems or duplicating unnecessary integration code. Learn how you can embrace the benefits of:
Federal Data Center Optimization: Do’s and Don’ts from the Experts

Mobile technologies are providing opportunities for delivering information and services to citizens, partners and the public, as well as improving the ability to accomplish an agency’s mission.Overcome Obstacles to Agile Application Development
Federal government agencies face intense pressure to build next-generation applications, despite resource constraints and growing requirements to incorporate security, accessibility and analytic capabilities. Rising complexity and overburdened IT systems only contribute a lack of agility – which is something government agencies desperately need to support the demand for new apps and services. Add the backlog of application change requests, inflexible infrastructures and the difficulties inherent in managing mobility and migrating to the cloud, and it’s no surprise government executives feel frustrated.Derived Security Credentials for Government Transactions
As government organizations increasingly move towards mobile devices, they are asking how they can provide their workers with access to their applications and data with a secure digital certificate. Common Access Cards (CAC) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) smart cards are used to manage access to both online and physical resources through controlled access to networks, systems, building and spaces. However, this standard way of doing things doesn’t always work in mobile situations.
