New Report: Government Capabilities at Risk without Application Modernization
Four out of five C-level Federal IT executives said mission-critical government capabilities are at risk if agencies do not modernize legacy applications, according to a study by MeriTalk and the Unisys Center for Innovation in Government. The new report, “Federal Application Modernization Road Trip: Express Lane or Detour Ahead?,” looks at the progress of the Federal government in modernizing its business applications and the cost and risk of maintaining outdated and redundant systems.

The study, based on a survey of C-level and senior IT managers, revealed that agencies spend almost half of the annual Federal IT budget, $35.7 billion, maintaining and supporting legacy applications and that nearly half (47 percent) of all existing IT applications are based on legacy technology in need of modernization.

Why is CyberSecurity so Hard?
Cyber-threats have created unprecedented technical and social challenges that have never before been addressed. In the past, when the enemy attacked you could see it, touch it and know what damage was incurred. A cyber-bullet can attack a country, a financial institution, or a power grid and we may not be able to detect or ever know or understand the full impact of the security breach. What are the issues that the public is facing due to cyber-threats?  What progress is being made in regards to cyber-security? Join us for a discussion with experts in the field of CyberSecurity to learn about this tough subject and what we need to do to stay vigilant against cyber threats and attacks.
