Overview

October 27

Your network is the backbone of your IT system. Yet it may be the oldest part of your infrastructure.

Network modernization is vitally important, but it can be challenging for many state and local governments. Network needs have grown more extensive and complex, and many governments simply don’t have the budget or staff resources they need to ensure safe and secure digital transformation efforts.

During a live webinar on October 27 at 10 a.m. Pacific / 1:00 p.m. Eastern, experts will discuss how governments can securely modernize their networks without placing additional strain on their IT teams. Hosted by Government Technology and Iron Bow, this session will explore:

The on-premise, cloud-based and hybrid solutions available for network modernization
How a modernized network can improve service and business outcome resiliency
The challenges of increasing connectivity in the age of Zero Trust
