It's been four and a half years since the White House proclaimed it wanted agencies to make a big move to cloud computing via the so-called "cloud first" policy. But the pace of cloud adoption has been far slower than what former federal CIO Vivek Kundra probably had in mind back in 2010. The American Council of Technology-Industry Advisory Council set out to find out why -- and then, in a new guidebook, explain how agencies can break down perceived barriers to cloud adoption. Mark Day is the co-chair of the ACT-IAC Cloud Computing Working Group and also the deputy assistant commissioner in GSA's integrated technology service. He tells In Depth guest host Jared Serbu what's in the new guidebook and how it will help agencies move to the cloud.

Information security has been on the Government Accountability Office's High Risk list since 1997. Greg Wilshusen is director of information strategic issues at the GAO. He tells In Depth guest host Jared Serbu why agencies are having a hard time coming up with risk-based cyber programs.

The buzz around big data is growing in volumes. Eight agencies, including the Energy, Commerce and Transportation departments have each named a formal chief data officer. But agencies must find the right balance of roles between these hip CDOs and the tried-and-true chief information officers as federal IT evolves through cloud and the commoditization of technology. In part 1 of his special report, Deconstructing the CDO, Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller explores the growing complexity between data and information.
