From the federal level down, agencies need networks that work consistently, reliably and securely. Fortunately, software-defined, wide-area networking can put agencies’ missions at the forefront of their networking capabilities.
A digital world demands even more advanced network security structures. To progress, agencies can follow the below steps.
Providing the right level of access, performance and security for remote workers using the cloud requires solutions that can scale virtually infinitely.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased pressure on agencies in two key ways. First, they are facing unprecedented demand for remote work. Second, this push has strained their IT networks with historic burdens.
Most organizations have between 20 and 75 security solutions, each solving a separate problem. While these tools can help fight specific cybersecurity threats, they often don’t integrate well with one another, creating visibility problems and complexity overload.
So just how hard is it to extend IT support to workers and offices operating beyond the perimeter of the traditional agency headquarters?
So, how do agencies flourish with cloud-ready networks? Leveraging SD-WAN, agencies can deliver the best application experience possible for citizens and employees across multiple cloud environments.
As federal agencies accelerate their effort to move data, applications and services to the cloud, they often run into an obstacle: Their existing cyber policies and processes were developed with a physical IT infrastructure in mind, not the virtual infrastructure that is the basis of so many modern solutions.
Agencies must address three concerns to get cloud-ready: their people, their work and their technology.
With the escalating adoption of bandwidth-hungry SaaS applications, agencies must rethink their WAN strategies and how they can deliver modern capabilities.
