Overview

June 7

From townships to major metropolitan areas, local and state governments are prioritizing protecting data in the cloud.

Working in the cloud enables agencies of any size to accomplish large tasks needed to better serve the public. But doing so requires a specialized approach to securing critical information. Meeting compliance requirements is also top-of-mind, especially in an ever-changing environment.

With the right partnerships, checking the requirements list for better security on the cloud can be made easier.
