Cloud technologies offer modernization, efficiency, cybersecurity, and resilience advantages. So far, however, the movement of federal services to the cloud has been slow. A hesitant and incomplete acceleration of cloud computing in the public sector leaves the United States vulnerable and its citizens inadequately served. To help lay the groundwork for progress in government cloud use, the CSIS Strategic Technologies program created a Commission on Federal Cloud Policy that explored ways to reduce spending and improve security through the modernization of federal information technology processes.
Join CSIS for an event on the security and efficiency benefits of accelerating federal cloud use. The event will feature opening remarks from Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), followed by a panel discussion with Karen Evans, Managing Director of the Cyber Readiness Institute, Rob Knake, Principal at Orkestrel, Roger Cressey, Partner at Mountain Wave Ventures, and Dan Chenok, Executive Director for the IBM Center for The Business of Government.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
