The pandemic increased the need for secure, modernized and evolved solutions to expedite federal response efforts.

The General Services Administration has received $1 billion for the Technology Modernization Fund from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that President Biden signed into law last week.

Federal agencies are all looking to ramp up artificial intelligence capabilities, and while it takes the right workforce, data, ethics, governance and development to successfully deploy them, federal officials also highlight the importance of collaboration.

Top cyber officials are calling on federal agencies to pay particular attention this year to TIC 3.0, the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standards and supply chain security to significantly reduce cyber risk.

When federal agencies pivoted to remote work in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they faced an overwhelming number of options for cloud-based collaboration tools.

One common refrain for securing information and communication technology (ICT) supply chains is to focus on acquisition and supplier visibility. According to top IT leaders at a FCW workshop this week, federal entities seeking to secure their ICT supply chains have a knowledge problem.

President-elect Joe Biden proposed a $9 billion investment in the Technology Modernization Fund and support for cybersecurity and improved IT assets across federal agencies as part of his $1.9 trillion economic package released Thursday night.

With the federal government increasingly embracing modern approaches to software development like Agile and DevOps, acquisition specialists like those at General Services Administration's 18F digital services agency see great benefits in applying more flexible contracting methods in order to improve product design and development in the long run.

The COVID-19 pandemic-induced telework prompted federal agencies to build off TIC 3.0 guidance and explore zero trust to maximize network security.

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.

A strong cybersecurity posture often comes down to data quality and organizational culture, which is especially important to keep in mind when participating in CISA’s Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) program.

A Department of Justice and General Services Administration 18F collaboration led to the launch of a new portal this summer for the public to more easily report civil rights violations.
