Welcome remarks from our underwriter, SolarWinds.

Tom Romanoff, from the Bipartisan Policy Center, joins us to discuss the world of IT modernization in federal agencies, exploring its importance and the latest trends shaping the future of government tech.

Cybersecurity is often considered a roadblock to quick, efficient modernization in the cloud for many federal agencies, but it can be an accelerator when combined with platform engineering. Platform engineering allows federal agencies to rapidly develop and deploy new applications by pre-vetting safe, secure software development pathways, i.e,. "golden paths," enabling self-service DevSecOps to improve digital services and total experiences for federal agencies and the public they serve. Hear Maximus Cloud Solutions Leader Frank Reyes and Digital Services Managing Director Raymond Holder discuss how agencies can develop their own golden paths to drive efficient, secure enterprise software modernization in the cloud.

In this session, Wayne Rodgers will dive into how the Department of Education is implementing Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to improve their current systems and better serve constituents.
