Benefits fraud has skyrocketed since the onset of the pandemic, costing government organizations and taxpayers millions in losses. Aging systems that host these benefits are highly vulnerable to these fraudulent attacks. Modern identity and access management (IAM) solutions based in the cloud can help identify and prioritize improper payments before funds are distributed, thus preventing fraud and enabling aid to reach those truly in need. But...

But many agencies must navigate the complexity of maintaining their legacy technology infrastructure along with the growing needs to migrate to more modern technology. They may be on the forefront of implementing new innovations, but they still must manage ongoing debt from existing...

All too often, state and local governments are poorly prepared for system outages triggered by ransomware attacks or other disruptive events. Multiple data protection tools and management consoles make ransomware protection more complex and time-consuming than it should be. And multiple generations of systems across a patchwork of compute and storage platforms creates complexity and data sprawl that slows down recovery and increases vulnerabil...

Legacy systems – some decades old – have long been a challenge for state and local health and human services agencies (HHS). COVID-19 put a dramatic spotlight on the issue: outdated technology couldn’t keep pace with overwhelming demand for social safety net services, failing both citizens and agency staff when they needed help most.

Although technology and government aren’t the only sectors that need to revise the systemic barriers holding these workers back, the problem is apparent to all. One stark example: Women remain woefully underrepresented in the technology industry. Despite making up about half of the...
