What is zero-trust cybersecurity?
Zero-trust cybersecurity is an approach that treats every user as untrustworthy until they are verified. While it has gained traction in federal agencies, state and local governments are beginning to adopt this framework. According to the 2021 Annual State CIO Survey, 67% of state CIOs expect to focus on introducing or expanding zero-trust frameworks in the next two to three years.
How are identity and access management (IAM) programs evolving?
Many states are excited about implementing identity and access management programs, with some, like Ohio, advancing towards a single digital identity for residents to access various government services. This 'superidentity' will manage multiple credentials and licenses, indicating a significant shift towards streamlined access to government services.
What factors influence cloud migration for government agencies?
Cloud migration for state and local agencies is often a measured process, influenced by economic factors. Agencies must evaluate whether migrating legacy systems to the cloud makes financial sense and whether there is a strong business case for such projects. Successful migration requires commitment and collaboration across departments to demonstrate the value and cost savings of moving to the cloud.
