But the surge in demands from the public, and the need to support employees working remotely, have added new urgency to those investment strategies. They’ve also demanded that greater attention be paid to enabling applications, says Anthony Battista, managing director of solutions architecture at Verizon. The pandemic forced public agencies to “change from a premises-based focus to an internet-based focus. When that happens, applications become more network dependent,” says Battista. “And when they're more network dependent, we find that there are four key pill...

Security advisor Wendy Nather says findings from a recent security survey can help organizations, regardless of their budget situations, identify which practices are likely to deliver the greatest security improvements.

As government agencies shift to software- and infrastructure-as-a-service platforms, they are realizing they no longer have direct control of their applications. That’s one reason why a security architecture known as secure access service edge (SASE) is gaining rapid adoption, according to Gartner, as a zero-trust solution at the application layer. In general, compute is moving away from solely being within a data center. It’s more of a hybrid- and multicloud norm. And at t...
