Securing the Complex Ecosystem of Hybrid Cloud Virtual Symposium

Hybrid cloud has become a critical fixture of IT architecture to enable federal agencies to meet their mission. While hybrid cloud delivers additional capability across the enterprise to support a vast array of government functions, there are remaining security concerns as users move between environments. The Center for Public Policy Innovation (CPPI) and Homeland Security Dialogue Forum (HSDF) hosted a virtual symposium on Securing the Complex Ecosystem of Hybrid Cloud to explore these areas in detail. Keynotes from Rep. Gerry Connolly, Federal CISO Grant Schneider, and Air Force Chief Software Officer Nicolas Chaillan highlighted their priorities and experiences around accelerating hybrid cloud adoption and security. In addition, two panel discussions with government and industry experts also weighed-in. It is more important than ever that the public and private sectors work together to advance IT modernization across the federal space.
