How to Secure an Agency’s Many Mobile Devices - GovLoop

2 days ago | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

Government employees make ample use of cell phones, tablets, laptops, wireless printers and other mobile endpoints that connect to agency networks from locations near and far. The devices improve access and efficiency and can make workers more productive. But faced with a dramatic increase in nation-state and other cyber threats, agencies have come to realize that these off-premises devices are a significant vulnerability.
Navigating Uncertainty With Your Mission in Mind - GovLoop

2 weeks ago | govloop.com | Stephanie Kanowitz

The past few months have brought uncertainty to the federal workforce. Amid the chaos, workers hope to stand out in the best ways and to make themselves indispensable.

Why Workflow Modernization Makes Such a Difference - GovLoop

1 month ago | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

Modernization is more than shiny laptops and high-end servers, the tools of advanced IT staff. Often, the most valuable reforms simply help agency employees — in legal, procurement, human resources, facilities management, and other non-technical divisions — leave their manual drudgery behind, so they can perform more mission-critical, satisfying work. Transitioning to automated, service-based workflows can yield impressive results: lower costs, reduced manhours, and greater efficiency.

From Siloed to Seamless: The Need for Integrated Security Monitoring - GovLoop

1 month ago | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Digital Government As agencies become more complex and disbursed, their individual security systems — some focused on physical access, such as video surveillance, and some on cyber threats — become difficult to manage. There are too many systems monitoring too many things, and they generate too many alerts to be fully useful.
Process Automation: The Efficient Alternative to Paper-Based Systems - GovLoop

2 months ago | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, IT Modernization Agency processes often are slow and cumbersome and overly reliant on manual, paper-based requirements. Such inefficiency affects even simple interactions with consumers, vendors, contractors, and various internal departments — and although staff know intuitively that there’s a better way, modernization can seem confusing. But automating your operations is actually straightforward.
Quantum-Safe Encryption: What It Means, and Why Agencies Should Care - GovLoop

Mar 5, 2025 | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

Cybersecurity, Digital Government, Emerging Tech Quantum computing, like other emerging technologies, offers great promise: to turn the impossible into something practical. But quantum computers also jeopardize the carefully ordered algorithms that encrypt our data today and protect us from malicious actors. And that’s a risk agencies cannot ignore. Transitioning to quantum-safe encryption isn’t the work of a day, week or month.
Identity Protection Starts With Privileged Access Management - GovLoop

Feb 21, 2025 | govloop.com | Candace Thorson

In the landscape of cybersecurity risk, protection capability — identity security — stands out. Ninety percent of agencies have suffered an identity-related breach, due largely to the fact that agencies don’t understand their paths to privilege, or ways threat actors can exploit their identity attack surface. Traditional cybersecurity detection tools are unable to illuminate those paths most likely targeted by threat actors.

Most of us are familiar with projects gone wrong, with indecision, delays and wasteful sidetracks when no one understood the project’s purpose. But up-front analysis can avoid those speedbumps, and it’s especially vital for data-driven projects, such as determining how an agency feeds residents experiencing food insecurity.
