Juliana Vida, the group vice president and chief strategy advisor for public sector at Splunk, said agencies can use the momentum created by the cybersecurity EO, the funding from CISA and the technology advancements of the market to harden their cyber resolve.
Juliana Vida, the chief technical advisor for public sector at Splunk, said for agencies to successfully and securely move to the cloud they must collect, use and understand their data. She said many times that comes down to using the right security framework.
Agencies will continue to exist in a multi-cloud world for the foreseeable future.
Agencies now must sustain the momentum gained from the efforts to meet the surge of remote workers. How they do that is having the ability to monitor and manage these transformations to ensure mission success.
Data is increasingly the backbone of decision making, which is why the Defense Department is putting so much effort into ensuring a secure, unhindered flow of data between warfighters and leadership with programs like Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).
Technology has progressed to the point that the biggest obstacle still preventing JADC2 from becoming a reality is culture. It’s how the services and components interact, how they share – or don’t share – their data.
While the security benefits of zero-trust architectures are well-known, less recognized is the extra value that zero-trust architectures can create.
Agencies made the transformation during the pandemic emergency in a short amount of time and now they have to figure out how to continue this momentum.
The senior advocate for Decennial Census Response Security and Data Integrity at the Census Bureau said the agency has been testing and improving the online response tool and security architecture for much of the past seven years in preparation for 2020.
There are ways agencies can institutionalize change and take more advantage of data.
Frank Dimina, vice president of Public Sector at Splunk, joined host John Gilroy on this week's Federal Tech Talk to explain why federal agencies should secure their data sets before applying machine learning and artificial intelligence.
In the next stage of CDM, Dimina says, agencies will realize more value from the data they gather, analyzing for threat hunting and active cyber response.
Juliana Vida, the chief technical advisor public sector for Splunk, said there is hope and there is opportunity, both of which can be found in the data.
Adilson Jardim, the area vice president for public sector engineering at Splunk, explains why data is the key to making AI work in agencies.
