With an increasingly distributed workforce, government agencies are relying on the scale and flexibility of cloud more than ever to boost productivity. However, agencies across the board remain at different stages of their cloud adoption, and concerns around security still exist. With the recent Executive Order guidance to accelerate movement to secure cloud services, how should agencies approach cloud security? From the shared responsibility model to FedRamp to zero trust, Nextgov will explore best practices in enhancing both efficiency and security in the cloud.
