Making the transition to a hyper-distributed cloud environment requires technology leaders to embrace a new approach to IT management. Here are four strategies that can operationalize a cloud smart environment for governments, their workforce and their constituents.

COVID-19 tested the foresight of Maryland’s IT leadership when the state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) went all-in with cloud services. Facing the threat of a pandemic, Maryland aced the test — shifting seamlessly to a remote work model while continuing to deliver essential services to the state’s most vulnerable residents.

The new cybersecurity executive order mandates zero-trust security requirements for federal information systems. Here's what you must know about the U.S. zero-trust standards from NIST.

After a multi-year journey working with the mission critical application technology providers and Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) officials across the US, Amazon Web Services (AWS) implemented a simple and technically robust approach to CJIS compliance. Now, agencies and organizations in all 50 states in the US can null.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) recently dropped the number of Critical Controls from 20 to 18. Some of us still think of them as the SANS Top 20, so that’s kind of a big deal.

Bus transit will play a vital role in reviving city economies in the post-pandemic era. But in order to maintain safe, reliable and efficient bus service, cities must ensure dedicated bus lanes remain clear from illegally parked vehicles. Innovative computer vision technology, aided by machine learning, is making it easier than ever for cities to enforce parking and keep buses running on time.

At Fujitsu, we believe that digital transformation in the public sector should be about delivering wider access to services, support and information.

At Fujitsu, we’re working to leverage the power of digital to enable public-sector organizations to not only meet citizen expectations but exceed them.
