Doing More with Less: How Government Agencies are Rethinking Cybersecurity

Posted on by Brian Snell

In December 2025, Carahsoft and Broadcom commissioned Forrester Consulting to survey 212 U.S. Government cybersecurity decision makers about the state of Public Sector security operations following the budget and headcount reductions of early 2025. What they found was a sector under sustained pressure, but also one actively searching for smarter, more resilient ways forward. The findings provide a candid assessment of where agencies stand today and the steps required to strengthen their cybersecurity posture in an era of constrained resources.

Budget Cybersecurity Gaps

Budget instability remains widespread, with 38% of agency budgets still classified as mostly or completely fiscally unstable. Another fifth of agencies reported no change since the initial cuts were enacted. The result is a cybersecurity landscape where teams are being asked to protect increasingly complex digital environments with fewer people, fewer tools and less financial runway than they had even a year ago. Over half of the respondents report that budget constraints have moderately or significantly impacted their ability to maintain core security operations. Perhaps most telling, just 38% of cybersecurity leaders express confidence in their agency’s security posture following headcount reductions.

The areas most exposed under current resource limitations are network security, data protection and incident response. Roughly a third of respondents also flagged concerns around endpoint security, visibility, analytics and compliance. For agencies already navigating a complex regulatory and threat environment, these vulnerabilities represent more than operational friction; they signal genuine risk to mission-critical systems and the sensitive data agencies are entrusted to protect. As leadership teams work to roadmap investments for the year ahead, two priorities have risen to the top: securing critical infrastructure against bad actors and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity capabilities.

Rising Breach Risk in a Leaner Environment

Understanding the current risk landscape is an essential first step toward addressing it effectively. 86% of respondents anticipate an increase in potential compromises or breaches in the coming year due to the recent staffing and funding reductions. More than a quarter expect breach numbers to climb by 1–10%, while over 20% anticipate increases of 30% or more. For agencies responsible for protecting sensitive Government data and public-facing services, this trajectory demands immediate strategic attention. The connection between resource reduction and elevated risk is already being experienced across teams, where reduced personnel have created measurable gaps in detection, response and remediation capacity.

The operational data reinforces this concern. 61% of respondents report that security incidents overall have increased in frequency, while 65% say their mean time to remediate (MTTR) has been negatively affected. Over half indicate their ability to secure technology and architecture delivery has also suffered. These are not isolated data points; they reflect a compounding effect where each unaddressed gap creates the conditions for the next. Agencies that do not act strategically in prioritizing their highest-risk exposure areas will face growing difficulty in maintaining the compliance posture and operational resilience their missions demand.

AI and Automation as Force Multipliers for Lean Teams

Amid the challenges, a clear opportunity is emerging. Agencies are increasingly recognizing that AI and automation are essential tools for maintaining security effectiveness when human capacity is stretched thin. 72% of respondents indicated openness to automation tools as a means of enhancing cybersecurity resilience. The top priority areas for automation adoption include incident response, network security, compliance and data protection, precisely the domains where resource gaps are most acute.

Forrester’s recommendations reinforce this direction. Leveraging AI to automate network traffic analysis, policy validation and alert triage allows teams to concentrate on high-confidence threats such as data exfiltration and lateral movement, rather than being consumed by manual tasks. Applied effectively, AI can help offset staffing shortfalls, reduce analyst burnout and preserve or even improve, mean time to investigate (MTTI) or MTTR metrics. Agencies that invest in AI-driven security tools now are not just responding to a short-term resource problem; they are building a more adaptive, scalable security model that can sustain performance through continued uncertainty. This is a strategic shift as much as a technical one, and cybersecurity leaders who embrace it early will be better positioned to protect their environments long-term.

Strategic Consolidation as the Path Forward

The data points toward a clear prescription: agencies must work smarter, not just harder, with the resources available to them.

On the investment side, respondents are focusing on limited resources where they will have the greatest impact: threat detection, incident response, network infrastructure modernization and process automation. Forrester recommends that agencies rationalize their security stack to eliminate overlapping capabilities, adopt consolidated platform solutions such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) or unified network security platforms and reduce one-off tool purchases that contribute to sprawl and complexity. Critically, agencies should plan for sustained lean operations rather than assume a return to pre-2025 staffing or budget levels. Redesigning operating models around automation, risk prioritization and efficiency will be the defining factor for resilient agencies.

The findings from this Forrester study make one thing clear: the agencies that will emerge strongest from this period of constraint are those that treat resource limitations not as a barrier, but as a forcing function for smarter, more deliberate security strategy. By concentrating investments in high-risk areas, embracing AI and automation and consolidating their security stack, Government cybersecurity teams can build a leaner, more resilient security posture that holds up under pressure, today and in the years ahead.

How Government Agencies Can Modernize Transportation with Uber for Business

Posted on by Nick Brown

State and Local Government agencies are under pressure to do more with less while still delivering reliable services. Transportation is fragmented in many agencies, with four or five separate vendor contracts across departments in larger agencies. There is an over-reliance on legacy vendors that are significantly more expensive, including specialty vendors that are important for certain populations and services but may not be necessary for every rider. In many cases, these systems require rides to be booked days in advance, sometimes through offline means such as phone calls. This lack of centralization also limits reporting and visibility into how transportation dollars are being spent.

Uber for Business helps Government agencies move away from a fragmented model by offering a single enterprise platform that can support a variety of transportation needs across departments. With more than 9.4 million participating drivers and couriers, Uber has the largest rideshare network in the world. Centralized administration and reporting provides agencies with a complete view of their transportation programs while reducing the burden on staff who currently manage rides manually.

Supporting Employee Travel and Community Programs

Agencies are using Uber for Business in several capacities. One major use case is employee travel. Many agencies still rely on rental cars or motor pools for staff traveling for work. Uber for Business provides an alternative that can also augment existing fleet operations, helping reduce reliance on basic sedans while allowing fleet teams to focus on specialized vehicles. Agencies can set controls around who can ride, when they can ride and what trip options are available. This is especially appealing as many employees are already familiar with using Uber in their personal lives, making it a seamless and intuitive option to extend into official Government travel.

Agencies are also using Uber for Business to support community-facing programs, including:

Court systems use rideshares to transport victims and witnesses, ensuring they arrive on time reliably and have access to a mode of transportation they are familiar with.
Social service departments and similar programs are using rideshare to close mobility gaps for the populations they serve, including workforce reentry, recidivism and youth and family programs that need reliable transportation to access essential services or job opportunities.
Public safety and transportation agencies are leveraging rideshare to support anti-driving under the influence (DUI) and safe ride campaigns, helping reduce impaired driving by providing residents with accessible transportation alternatives during high-risk times.

Delivering Value Quickly

One of the clearest advantages of Uber for Business is how quickly agencies can begin seeing value. For program managers responsible for overseeing social service and community programs, the benefits can be immediate when constituents are able to get where they need to go more reliably. Smoother transportation can make programs easier to manage and more effective overall.

Programs can be set up as fast as a couple of days. This speed can be especially important when agencies have immediate transportation needs or are looking for a fast, low-lift way to modernize existing processes.

Reducing Costs and Administrative Burden

Uber, Modernize Transportation Blog, Embedded Image, 2026

Cost savings are another major driver for adoption. Through Uber’s partnership with Carahsoft, the solution is available through a National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) agreement that includes built-in incentives for agencies. Uber also applies a tax exemption tag when setting up programs so eligible rides are exempt from applicable taxes.

Beyond discounts and tax advantages, agencies can realize significant operational efficiencies. Program managers no longer need to call in rides or worry about whether clients are reaching their destinations. Instead, they can see trips in real time, communicate with drivers during the booking process and distribute ride credits easily. These streamlined workflows reduce administrative effort and help programs run more efficiently.

Improving Visibility, Compliance and Oversight

For agencies in large counties, Uber for Business can be set up with a parent account that all department accounts fall under. This gives agencies centralized administration rights and better reporting across the organization. It also supports auditing and grant compliance by allowing administrators to view granular details for each trip.

Centralization also helps agencies capture unmanaged transportation spending that may otherwise happen informally across departments. Instead of relying on ad hoc rideshare use with little oversight, agencies can bring transportation activity into one system and enforce internal policies more consistently.

Enhancing the Transportation Experience

Ease of use is a major reason agencies are adopting Uber for Business. For riders, the biggest advantage is on-demand access. Rather than scheduling transportation days in advance, riders can get a trip when they need it. This flexibility can make a meaningful difference for participants in social service and workforce reentry programs, where reliable access to transportation can affect whether someone is able to reach work, court or other essential services.

Uber has also invested in accessibility features, building tools for riders who may not have a cell phone or the Uber app, as well as for those who speak another language or have low vision or hearing-related disabilities. For Government agencies focused on serving all constituents, not just most, these capabilities can help expand access and improve inclusivity.

A Centralized Transportation Strategy

According to Uber, the most successful deployments happen when an executive or procurement leader helps identify which departments across an agency could benefit from a more modern, efficient mobility solution. That agency-wide visibility makes it easier to structure the right program from the start, including setting up the parent account, selecting the right products for different departments and developing an implementation and training plan for staff. This kind of centralized planning can help agencies move beyond isolated pilots and create a transportation strategy that serves multiple departments and use cases through one platform.

For agencies just getting started, most programs can be up and running in less than a month. While some agencies may choose to run their own solicitation process, others can take advantage of existing contracts through NASPO and Carahsoft to start immediately. In emergency situations, deployment can be done within a day. Uber can move as fast as an agency requires.

As agencies look for ways to improve service delivery, manage budgets more carefully and give employees and constituents more reliable transportation options, Uber for Business provides a scalable and flexible model for modernization. From employee travel and fleet augmentation to court systems and social services, a centralized rideshare platform can help agencies simplify operations, improve oversight and better meet transportation needs across the communities they serve.

Integrated Threat Hunting: A Smarter Path for Stretched Federal SOCs

Posted on by Richard Verwers

Why visibility, automation and collaboration are now mission-critical

Federal Security Operations Center (SOC) teams are under relentless pressure. Teams are increasingly stretched thin as agencies grapple with AI-enhanced threats, Zero Trust requirements and operational mandates like FISMA 2.0. Despite limited staff and growing workloads, though, the mission remains clear: defend critical infrastructure, secure sensitive data and maintain compliance.

For split-second contexts in the face of critical alerts, fragmented tools and siloed data only make matters worse. Analysts lose time switching between platforms. Revalidating and responding to quickly escalating threats takes time away from mission continuity.

Federal SOCs require integrated, intelligence-driven platforms that support end-to-end threat visibility, rapid response and secure information sharing.

Modern Federal SOCs Face Mounting Challenges

Staffing shortfalls are now a systemic issue. The cybersecurity talent gap currently exceeds 5.5 million unfilled roles globally, with Federal agencies competing for a shrinking pool of qualified professionals.

Meanwhile, tool sprawl and console fatigue complicate workflows. Analysts must juggle multiple platforms to correlate data, validate incidents and track lateral movement all while meeting increasingly complex compliance reporting mandates.

Agencies must also contend with:

AI-generated malware that evades signature-based detection
Expanding attack surfaces from hybrid environments and remote endpoints
Escalating compliance expectations tied to FISMA modernization, OMB M-24-14 and Zero Trust architecture maturity

To keep pace, teams need tools that consolidate, correlate and streamline.

Real-time Response Enhances SOC Agility

Threat impact is defined by the time it takes to respond properly. Delayed containment leads to higher costs and increased exposure. That’s why real-time response is now essential to any defensible cybersecurity posture.

Modern endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms allow teams to:

Isolate compromised endpoints instantly
Terminate malicious processes at the source
Prevent data exfiltration in-flight
Apply automated playbooks for repeatable, standards-based remediation

These capabilities reduce manual intervention and align with CISA’s SOAR guidance, enabling SOCs to act swiftly within a Zero Trust model. For Federal teams, this also supports audit-readiness with timestamped forensic records that meet FISMA and OMB compliance requirements.

Unified Telemetry Accelerates Threat Hunting

Siloed data weakens an analyst’s ability to detect patterns and perform deep investigations. By unifying endpoint telemetry across devices and environments, teams gain access to richer datasets and longer retention windows for root cause analysis.

Carbon Black EDR captures high-fidelity endpoint activity and retains up to 180 days of telemetry, letting teams uncover threats that may have originated weeks or months prior.

With behavior-based analytics, SOCs can move past static signatures and detect anomalies faster. This involves pinpointing lateral movement, privilege escalation and indicators of compromise before damage escalates.

Collaboration and Data Sharing Reduce Operational Risk

Cybersecurity is a team sport, but without integrated data sharing, even the best defenses can fall short. Fragmented environments limit visibility, making it difficult to act on shared intelligence across tools and agency teams.

Integrated platforms streamline threat intelligence sharing through features such as:

The Carbon Black Data Forwarder, which simplifies integration with SIEM/SOAR platforms
API-driven data sharing that supports automation and collaboration
Compatibility with Zero Trust frameworks, particularly the Device Pillar of OMB M-24-14

With cross-environment visibility and collective learning, SOC teams can improve incident response while advancing cybersecurity maturity across the agency.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Federal SOCs face high-stakes situations where time and clarity are critical and impact lives in real time. Every alert demands focus. Every decision must be defensible. To operate effectively under pressure, teams need platforms that reduce noise, unify workflows and enable smart action.

Carbon Black and Carahsoft help Federal teams do more with less. We empower analysts with the real-time insights and interoperability they need to protect what matters most.

The Federal 100 Signals Optimization in Federal IT

Posted on by Craig Abod

The Federal 100 reflects more than individual achievement; it reveals how technology is fueling great things in Federal Government. Serving as a judge this cycle provided a front-row view of the work happening across agencies and the priorities shaping it.

Optimization had been a stated priority for years. Over the past cycle, it became visible in day-to-day decisions. Leaders were recognized for tightening how technology environments operate: setting clearer enterprise direction, reinforcing shared standards and embedding modernization into routine governance.

That shift showed up across security, acquisition, data strategy and workforce systems. Programs moved beyond isolated efforts and began operating with greater cohesion across components.

That pattern was especially visible in national security organizations.

Many of this year’s honorees came from Defense, DHS and Energy. When agencies responsible for the nation’s most demanding missions lead in enterprise alignment, platform standardization and structured governance, it signals that these practices are no longer experimental. They are operational. They are institutional. And they are delivering measurable mission impact.

Enterprise Leadership Drove Alignment

The leaders who stood out had enterprise reach. They worked across organizational boundaries and aligned components around shared priorities.

That leadership showed up in measurable ways: faster ATO approvals, stronger FedRAMP execution and authorization built into delivery rather than added at the end. Identity now anchors security strategy, reinforcing Zero Trust and allowing bureaus to operate on common foundations.

What this means for the vendor community:
Agencies are aligning at the enterprise level and across organizations. Solutions that integrate across components and scale cleanly will move more easily.

Optimization Became the Operating Model

Optimization is now part of how agencies operate. Leaders are simplifying architectures, cutting duplicated data and strengthening shared platforms so systems connect without unnecessary friction. Unnecessary data movement and storage are being designed out of the system rather than absorbed as the cost of doing business.

The impact was measurable:

Identity consolidation lowered integration complexity
Multi-cloud strategies improved resilience
Enterprise data fabrics reduced duplication
Shared platforms supported multiple bureaus

What this means for the vendor community:
Agencies need solutions built to integrate cleanly and minimize unnecessary data movement.

AI Moves from Pilot to Program

AI is no longer confined to experimentation. Programs that began as pilots are gaining executive ownership and defined accountability.

For the first time, Chief AI Officer roles were recognized, reflecting formal accountability for the deployment and governance of AI. That shows AI is maturing into the same category as cybersecurity and cloud: a capability that requires strategy, standards and sustained leadership.

What this means for the vendor community:
Fast Proof-of-concepts with a plan to move into production is important. Solutions must support enterprise integration and sustained use.

The Rules of Government Buying Are Changing

Several of this year’s leaders are literally rewriting the rules of Government buying. The FAR rewrite reshapes the governing framework, and OneGov pushes a long-promised goal into practice: aligning agencies around shared buying strategies instead of fragmented procurements. Expanded use of OTAs and CSOs rounds out the shift by speeding access to new technology.

The combined effect is a more coordinated, more flexible acquisition environment.

What this means for the vendor community:
Vendors who understand enterprise procurement strategies, regulatory shifts and alternative purchasing pathways will be best positioned to support their customers effectively.

Workforce Modernization Is Delivering Results

Workforce systems are undergoing substantive modernization. Agencies are eliminating long-standing backlogs and delivering near real-time workforce data to leadership.

Modernization is extending into core business operations and strengthening how agencies hire, manage and support their people.

What this means for the vendor community
Demand is strong for secure, scalable workforce platforms that integrate with enterprise systems and deliver timely insight.

Emerging Technologies Are Strengthening the Mission Edge

Advanced capabilities are being deployed with clear mission impact. Autonomous systems are extending operational reach. Operational technology security efforts are hardening critical infrastructure. Post-quantum planning is addressing future cryptographic risk. High-performance computing is accelerating analysis and modeling tied directly to national priorities.

These efforts reflect growing confidence in deploying advanced technology within demanding mission environments.

What this means for the vendor community:
Government is embracing new and emerging technologies. This shift creates significant opportunities for vendors prepared to innovate and adapt to changing procurement models.

What This Signals for the Year Ahead

Federal IT is operating with greater urgency and focus, with speed and mission impact as top priorities.

Enterprise leadership coordinates large organizations. Optimization shapes architecture decisions. AI has named accountability. Acquisition frameworks are being revised. Workforce and emerging technologies are delivering measurable outcomes.

The leaders recognized this year are shaping how Government will function over the next decade, not just how it will deploy the next tool. Congratulations to all the winners.

Securing AI Adoption in Government: From Mandates to Implementation

Posted on by Liz Burrows

One of today’s top trends is artificial intelligence (AI), specifically how the Public Sector can adopt it while maintaining the security, governance and oversight essential for mission-critical operations. With AI jumping from number three to one on Federal Chief Information Officers’ (CIO) priority lists and 80% of CIOs under explicit cost savings mandates, the question is no longer whether to deploy AI but how to do so securely at scale.

The recent overhaul of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) marks the most significant rewrite in over 40 years, fundamentally shifting how Federal agencies operate and procure technology. As generative AI (GenAI) deployments move into mission-critical environments, agencies need practical frameworks that balance speed with verification.

Moving From Speed to Velocity

As The Public Sector enters the age of AI, with $4 trillion in Private Sector investment in data centers, agencies face a fundamental design challenge: design AI systems that adapt to human workflows rather than forcing humans to adapt to systems. This distinction matters most in Government and defense contexts where lives depend on maintaining human oversight for deliberate decisions.

The Department of War’s (DoW) Acquisition Transformation Strategy (ATS) offers a proven model of buying outcomes in increments. Instead of funding calendar time through traditional program structures, agencies should fund missions through portfolios that deliver outcomes in weeks or months. This approach structures procurement in modular increments that integrate with evolving architecture while funding capability and delivery, not timelines.

Velocity differs from speed in its directional precision. Agencies can accelerate procurement through fast-lane processes while maintaining governance through evidence gates that verify operational performance, user adoption, cyber risk posture and sustainment realities. This framework preserves ethical obligations while delivering measurable results.

Prerequisites for Secure AI Implementation

Before deploying AI tools in production environments, agencies need foundational elements in place:

GitLab, Securing AI Adoption in Government blog, embedded image, 2026

Policy frameworks that define where AI can be a part of the process and establish clear boundaries for all personnel. Training and enablement programs ensure teams understand governance requirements and security policies. Several Federal agencies have already created AI centers of excellence to help establish standards and create processes around how they are implementing AI.

End-to-end visibility across the entire software delivery process enables agencies to track where AI agents operate and what actions they perform. Without comprehensive visibility, governance becomes theoretical rather than operational.

Contextual accuracy determines output quality, AI systems deliver accurate, usable results only when provided with the right context, making data quality and integration critical prerequisites.

Built-in guardrails must exist before AI implementation. Security scans on every code change and controls preventing critical vulnerabilities from merging into production branches become essential as agencies move into the agentic AI era.

Practical AI Use Cases That Deliver Value

GitLab’s most recent DevSecOps survey reports that AI currently handles about 25% of the work in Public Sector organizations, with leadership targeting 50% automation. The most successful implementations focus on code generation, testing and documentation, areas where AI delivers immediate, measurable impacts.

Federal customers using GitLab’s AI capabilities report significant efficiency gains in code review processes. AI-powered first-pass reviews reduce time while maintaining quality standards. Test generation and legacy code modernization have proven particularly effective.

Compliance automation represents an emerging high-value use case. GitLab teams are developing compliance agents that access code repositories, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and security vulnerability data to automatically populate Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) checklists. Security team leaders review and adjust outputs as necessary, reducing administrative burden while allowing teams to focus on strengthening application security posture.

Prioritizing AI Governance Frameworks

With 35% of Public Sector professionals using unofficial AI tools at work, agencies governance frameworks that address shadow IT risks without stifling innovation. A risk-based approach identifies high-impact systems within critical infrastructure and implements controls that prevent systemic failures.

Effective governance prioritizes AI adoption around innovation while maintaining public trust. Agencies must identify high-impact areas and understand system interdependencies, as more systems connect, understanding how one system impacts another becomes essential for appropriate segmentation and risk management.

Building on Secure Foundations

Agencies cannot build on a shaky foundation. Federal AI and cybersecurity strategies must align around building responsibility into the process from the start. This requires shifting from governing static systems to engineering systems that can evolve safely, integrating assurances, accountability and human judgment as foundational design constraints instead of downstream checks.

Before deploying advanced AI capabilities, agencies should strengthen foundational practices, standardizing workflows, implementing security by design and ensuring basic guardrails are in place. AI cannot compensate for weak foundations in the software development lifecycle. The path forward requires doubling down on fundamentals while strategically adopting AI where it delivers clear value.

From Chaos to Confidence: Building Modern Data Strategy for Government Agencies

Posted on by Kris Lahiri

Government agencies hold vast amounts of data but struggle to extract value from it. Historically, agencies prioritized completeness over usefulness, resulting in years of manual efforts to organize data without surfacing valuable insights. Information remained trapped in siloed systems and inaccessible formats. As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms Government operations, its success depends not on new technology but on organized, accessible and secure data. Moving from reactive data management to a proactive strategy requires rethinking how data is classified, shared and protected.

The Evolution from Data Chaos to Strategic Data Organization

Agencies have long battled data disorganization, often with approaches that created more problems. Mandating perfect data organization before system development proved counterproductive. Projects stalled as teams pursued an impossible standard of completeness through governance structures that prioritized control over utility.

Rather than starting with comprehensive inventories, agencies should ask: What do I need to know that I cannot answer today? This question identifies the data that actually matters, assigns ownership and establishes automated processes to keep information current. Focusing on real business questions, not theoretical perfection, revealing the most-used data and delivering immediate value.

This shift reframes data as a strategic asset rather than a compliance burden. Modern data organization requires data domains that map to major key functions, establishing governance that enables access and early wins. The goal is speed and relevance over exhaustive documentation.

The Complexity and Criticality of Unstructured Data

Unstructured data, including Office documents, PDFs, imagery, drone footage, building blueprints, redlined contracts and multimedia recordings, poses a great challenge as it continues to grow dramatically. Construction agencies hold scanned blueprints from the 1950s alongside modern Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files. Legal teams generate years of contract negotiations with intelligence hidden in redlines and clause changes. Contact centers produce customer feedback that defies easy categorization yet contains critical insights. Emerging technologies like drones for monitoring or automated transcription continually introduce new data formats.

Extracting value requires technologies that classify, tag and analyze at scale. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) must identify Social Security numbers in images; classification engines need to distinguish between Controlled Unstructured Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC); multimodal tools must process audio, video and geospatial content. The challenge is organizing today’s data while preparing for tomorrow’s formats and making legacy information accessible and actionable.

Security, Access Control and Zero Trust in Modern Data Environments

As data moves into cloud, mobile and collaborative platforms, agencies face heightened security concerns. Traditional perimeter-based models, designed to secure from the outside in, no longer fit work patterns where employees access sensitive information from multiple devices and locations.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) reframes security by treating trust as a vulnerability. Every access request requires continuous verification. Field-level encryption at rest and in transit becomes essential. Authentication must balance robust security with usability to avoid workarounds. Agencies must evaluate whether solutions meet FedRAMP requirements, CMMC standards and other frameworks while implementing least-privilege access and continuous monitoring.

Effective security requires a layered design across three dimensions:

Storage – encryption and data handling
Systems – secure communications between platforms
Access – authentication and authorization

Agencies that succeed build security into workflows rather than adding it afterward, enabling legitimate access while preventing exposure.

Trust, Governance and the Fear of Sharing

Agencies hesitate to share data because they distrust its accuracy, currency or interpretation. Data owners understand nuances and limitations, but this context rarely transfers to others, leading to misinterpretation and errors. These issues stem from inconsistent definitions across systems, incomplete or outdated records and uncertainty about whether data reflects current operations.

Fear and misuse leads to data hoarding, which protects teams but limits organizational intelligence. Breaking this cycle requires comprehensive governance that enables rather than restricts. Effective approaches include:

Automating processes to ensure information is current
Assigning clear data ownership and accountability for quality
Creating data guilds for sharing best practices across organizational silos

Training, both technical and contextual, is essential. Early wins establish reliability, building trust and confidence.

AI Readiness and the Data Foundation Imperative

AI offers significant promise but depends entirely on data quality. AI cannot grant access to sensitive data, cleanse disorganized datasets or prevent hallucinations when trained on incomplete or contradictory information. AI amplifies existing data conditions: strong organization enables powerful AI applications; chaotic data yields unreliable outputs.

AI readiness intensifies longstanding challenges. Classification becomes non-negotiable when AI can process millions of documents but needs rules for handling personally identifiable information (PII), CUI and regulated data. Permissions must prevent accidental exposure or improper data combinations. Data cleansing, which includes identifying duplicates, correcting inconsistencies and validating accuracy, becomes a prerequisite for responsible AI deployment.

Because AI technologies evolve quickly, agencies must remain tool agnostic and focus on outcomes. Architecture can support multiple AI platforms and multimodal processing of text, audio, video and geospatial data. Agencies must assess current data maturity and invest in classification, cleansing and cultural alignment to ensure AI success.

Building Your Agency’s Data Strategy

Government agencies stand at a crossroads where old approaches to data management no longer suffice, yet the path forward remains challenging to navigate. Key steps include:

Start with the questions that matter, not perfect organization
Treat unstructured data as a high-value intelligence source
Implement security that enables legitimate access
Build trust through governance and early wins
Recognize that AI readiness begins with solid data fundamentals

Success does not require a sudden overhaul; it requires strategic focus, incremental progress and organizational commitment to treating data as the strategic asset it represents.

How Microsoft’s OneGov Agreement Brings Affordable AI-Enhanced Productivity to the Federal Government

Posted on by Jenna Hafey

Federal agencies have a need to advance artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and transform Government by modernizing legacy IT systems. Microsoft’s OneGov Portfolio delivers AI-powered collaboration capabilities through pre-negotiated discounts, giving agencies a simple and predictive way to obtain Microsoft Solutions at significant cost savings.

Aligned with the General Services Administration’s (GSA) OneGov strategy to unify agencies and reduce technology silos, the program provides Federal agencies with streamlined access to Microsoft 365 Copilot, cybersecurity and monitoring tools, as well as tools to assist with citizen engagement and streamlining operations. This approach simplifies procurement, accelerates deployment and delivers measurable productivity gains across mission-critical operations.

Enhanced Productivity and Secure Collaboration

The Microsoft OneGov offer provides the AI-powered productivity capabilities of Microsoft Copilot with applications agencies are using today like Word, Outlook and Teams. The platform enables users to draft content, analyze complex datasets and automate repetitive processes without switching between systems or learning new interfaces.

Government‑tailored versions of the Microsoft 365 applications operate within Microsoft’s U.S. sovereign cloud environment, giving agencies secure channels for cross-agency communication. Agencies also receive cloud storage through Microsoft OneDrive for secure, real-time collaboration and AI capabilities through Microsoft Copilot that accelerate daily workflows, including:

Content generation: MicrosoftCopilot generates first-draft documents in Word, reducing time spent on routine writing tasks and enabling staff to focus on substantive review and refinement.
Accelerated communication: Microsoft Copilot summarizes lengthy email threads and drafts responses in Outlook, streamlining correspondence management across complex organizational structures.
