  IT transformation offers agencies a chance to
increase their security postures while remaining flexible in responding to mission requirements.
an envelope of security around data wherever it resides and wherever it might go.
That’s important because today’s workforce is increasingly remote. We fit work into our lifestyles, and we work a lot and often. Therefore, new security capabilities look beyond signature-based issues at the endpoint and instead search for anomalies. To identify a malicious link or file, for example, they evaluate patterns in how users work.
Furthermore, efforts to transform IT and security are interlinked with a transformation of the workforce. The challenge in government is attracting and retaining young talent, and the best way to do that is to provide devices that offer the same access and portability that personal devices do.
Technology has become a driving force that contributes to job satisfaction and is therefore essential for agencies to attract and
retain new talent. The transformation to a more digital government also enables agencies to serve their constituents more effectively.
Every agency is at a different stage in its IT transformation journey, but industry is here to help. We want to see the government succeed in this effort.
