Ransomware Readiness with Data Backup and Recovery
Using ransomware, cybercriminals can force any agency to do their bidding. And cybercriminals often target state and local agencies because of their smaller budgets and workforces.

Observability Platforms: Because App Monitoring Is Not Enough
What agencies need is the ability to observe their systems’ performance from end to end in real time – and when a problem arises, to identify its source.
Simple Steps to Security in the Cloud
In recent years, agencies have become more cognizant of the cloud and its potential benefits, but the comfort of the status quo still beckons.
Georgia CISO Talks Ransomware Readiness, Disaster Prep
As Georgia’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), David Allen has seen many ransomware attacks. In some cases, agencies have bounced back in days. In others, they’ve been reduced to using pen and paper.
Why Network Visibility Is Key to Business Continuity
When the COVID-19 crisis forced many federal employees to start working from home, agency IT leaders found themselves in a new environment — employee living rooms. They quickly realized that while their business continuity plans address key issues around connectivity, security at this scale has proven to be something of an afterthought.
The Move From Physical to Digital Boundaries
As telework has expanded across government, and will likely permanently shift the paradigm of public and private sector work, technologists have had to pay special attention to maintaining security while not stifling users.
In Lieu of a Perimeter, Put Security at the Edge
The rise of cloud, mobility and related applications effectively have undermined the concept of perimeter-based security. That is why the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) 3.0 addresses the need to address security when users, applications and data reside outside the perimeter.
Exploring New Mexico’s Ransomware Defenses
Many of New Mexico’s ransomware defenses are built from the ground up. With 33 counties spread across the fifth-largest state in the country, local governments are major players in the state’s collective cybersecurity.
Enterprise Integration Platform Accelerates Modernization
Agencies would like to wipe out technical debt by adopting more modern platforms, but they struggle to make that transition. How can they bridge that gap between legacy systems and modern platforms?
Securing Supply Chains With Cyber Collective Defense
Supply chain complexity is rising, and the public and private sectors are stronger together. The resulting approach is called cyber collective defense, and it’s changing how businesses and the federal government protect their supply chains.
