What is zero-trust cybersecurity?
Zero-trust cybersecurity is an approach that treats every user as untrustworthy until they have been verified. While it has gained traction in the federal government, it is still emerging in state and local governments. According to the 2021 Annual State CIO Survey, 67% of state CIOs expect to introduce or expand a zero-trust framework in the next two to three years, indicating a shift towards this security model.
How are identity and access management (IAM) programs evolving?
Many states are excited about implementing identity and access management (IAM) programs, with some, like Ohio, already advancing towards a single digital identity for residents. This 'superidentity' will consolidate various credentials and licenses, allowing citizens to access multiple government services more efficiently. States are focusing on developing the necessary capabilities to manage these identities.
What factors influence cloud migration for government agencies?
Cloud migration for state and local agencies is often a measured process, influenced by economic considerations. Agencies need to assess whether moving to the cloud makes financial sense and requires a compelling business case. The decision often hinges on the end-of-life status of legacy systems and the potential for cost savings and improved capabilities through cloud adoption.
