FEBRUARY 2018CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6FEBRUARY - 15 - 2018GOVERNMENT TECH SPECIALEditorialTowards a Secured EcosystemJoe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipSecurity is a concern for every entity, especially the federal agencies as the data they hold is of prime importance which if stolen, can be a major threat for not the just governments but the citizens too. Thus, in the past few years, the governments have been working towards ensuring that as and when they move data to the cloud, security is taken care of. In the past too, during President Obama's tenure in the office, security has always remained a major concern or rather priority in many ways. This year too, when the government in the United States is taking a step forward in terms of using commercial cloud for a modernized IT infrastructure, security will be considered a priority at all stages. The government is all set to work towards cloud adoption through shared services in 2018.
