Interoperability and information-sharing are two top priorities for the Department of Homeland Security’s data strategy, according to comments from its Chief Data Officer Carlene Ileto and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chief Data Officer Kenneth Clark at an ATARC event last week.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in the U.S. placed exceptional demands on the Department of Veterans Affairs, requiring multiple areas of emergency readjustment to ensure continued functionality of essential services.

President-elect Joe Biden formally announced top members of his administration’s health care team — the first step in a sign of who might take the reins on the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of American health care in the coming years.

The Cyber Unified Coordination Group, an effort between the U.S. intelligence community and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is in the midst of coordinating its response to the recent discovery of a major hacking incident across various agencies last week.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's guidelines on information and communications technology (ICT) supply chain risk management (SCRM) are necessary to preventing such breaches like the one seen last week.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in information and communication technology (ICT) supply chains once considered industry best practices.

Supply chain security can barely keep up with the breakneck pace of technological innovation and COVID-19 demands, federal IT leaders said at an ACT-IAC Emerging Technology Forum.

Artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotic process automation are just a few of the technologies the Department of Homeland Security hopes to incorporate into IT operations, according to Chief Procurement Officer Soraya Correa.

Transitioning from paper record-keeping to electronic is a key component across federal IT modernization strategies, but aligning the budget to the effort has been a challenging hurdle.

Digital clinical trials and technologies — as well as an unprecedented collaboration among industry, government and academia — were some of the most critical components to the rapid development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

President-elect Joe Biden's transition team has tapped Denis McDonough to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Federal leaders at the Departments of Veterans affairs and Health and Human Services have made patient support — both financial and technical — a vital component of its rapid expansion in telehealth services.
