When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, academia stepped in to help keep food supply chains moving.

A university under the Department of Homeland Security's center of excellence program is helping the agency innovate technologies around various mission areas including long security lines at airports, automation in procurement, and detection of smuggling routes.

The implementation of 5G networks across federal agencies is allowing for a new phase of government modernization, especially in allowing quicker sharing of data to power a new range of technologies and draw a greater wealth of insights from available information.

Federal agencies are employing automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and centralized information-sharing strategies to optimize and secure migration to the cloud.

Federal information technology officials often prioritize better serving their customers’ needs, and creating human-centered design in their products and attribute Agile methodologies as key ways to iterate alongside end users' shifting requirements.

The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) is calling on lawmakers and the Biden administration to invest billions of dollars in AI systems and innovation to keep the U.S. competitive and protected in the international technological area.

Federal IT leaders are modernizing their IT infrastructure with multi-cloud environments, “as-a-service” approaches and other ways of iteratively updating systems to deliver more seamless and improved delivery for the customer experience.

The U.S. Air Force and Department of Veterans Affairs have a lot in common when it comes to DevSecOps practices — including how vital knowledge sharing has been to successful adoption across the agencies.

The lines delineating IT supply chain security from cybersecurity and infrastructure protection are blurrier than ever, so federal agencies must consider all three together as part of a whole.

If Congress, the White House and federal agencies don’t double annual AI spending now until 2025, the U.S. could lose its edge, noted Defense Department JAIC Director Lt. Gen. Michael Groen and National Security Commission on AI (NSCAI) Executive Director Yll Bajraktari said at AI Gov last week.

Successful long-term cloud-computing strategies necessitate process reforms and internal training, according to federal agency officials.

To successfully execute a DevSecOps strategy, put the customer first. Leaders at the Department of Homeland Security, Air Force and the Department of Veterans Affairs agree.
