Session 1: How Hybrid Cloud Can Be the Key to Digital Transformation
Speaker: Ricky Nelson, Senior Solution Architect, North America Public Sector, Red Hat
Fully modernizing an agency's entire network of systems can be overwhelming, especially when you consider all the data mandates, compliance requirements and legislation governments need to adhere to. However, state and local organizations don't want to miss out on the transformative powers of the cloud. One solution is a hybrid cloud approach where organizations can easily segment and transfer data between private cloud, public cloud and traditional IT resources.
According to IDC, 74% of cloud users across the globe have deployed a hybrid cloud strategy, but government's hybrid adoption has been a bit slower.
Join us on Wednesday, September 18 from 11:00-11:50 a.m. ET/8:00-8:50 a.m. PT to learn how hybrid cloud services can help agencies address rising IT costs, security regulations and increasing constituent demands while integrating with their existing systems.
Specifically, you'll learn:
- Why integrating on-premise and off-premise solutions with your legacy applications is critical to mission success.
- How moving to the cloud can lower cost, ease management burdens and create a more flexible infrastructure.
- The biggest barriers for agencies looking to adopt a hybrid cloud solution.
Session attendees can earn one CPE.

Security is critical, but with the many responsibilities IT professionals juggle daily, the most important parts of a security model can be easily overlooked. Enforcing good information security habits in your IT organization's culture can be challenging. So, how can your organization overcome these challenges?
Join us on Wednesday, September 18 from 12:00-12:50 p.m. ET/9:00-9:50 a.m. PT to hear insights from a new federal survey and best practices agencies use to improve governments security postures.
Specifically, you'll learn:
- Ideas about building security into your IT community with daily activities and conversations.
- How an approach styled after a secure development lifecycle can lead to improved security practices.
- The importance of a deep level of visibility into your IT infrastructure, which network and application performance monitoring tools provide, to build strong IT controls.
- New insights from a recent federal survey, including the issues posed by contractors and temporary workers, and how agencies are relying on training, access control and monitoring to reduce risk.
