Ep 75 - Thinking with a Data-First Mentality in a Digital-First Government - Part 3: Bolstering Data Security with Modern Data Management

Author: Government Technology Insider December 18, 2023 Duration: 10:51

Modern data management systems and embracing a digital-first government are bolstering data security for federal agencies. The Biden Administration released an Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity last year with Zero Trust being a fundamental component. Agencies are discerning ways to implement Zero Trust throughout their current network infrastructure. With a data management system overseeing the network, agencies can secure their data against the many changing and evolving threats facing government IT. These were the key themes in the third part of our “Thinking with a Data-First Mentality in a Digital-First Government” podcast series, hosted on Government Technology Insider, where Dan Carroll, Field CTO for Cybersecurity at Dell Technologies US Federal – Office of the CTO, discussed this topic of bolstering data security and modern data management further.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
