The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends security and IT professionals deploy a zero trust strategy and continuous monitoring to optimize cloud security, according to a new report.

Automating the authorization to operate (ATO) process could save federal agencies time and also enhance IT infrastructure security.

One month on, mobile device security and video-teleconferencing platforms enter the spotlight.

Forward-thinking agencies face fewer vulnerabilities as attacks ramp up in intensity.
