Security solutions are often thought of as threat prevention technology. It is imperative that security become a integral component of the IT infrastructure. Security solutions must be the foundation upon which service oriented architectures and new service delivery projects must stand. Utilizing security as the foundation upon which these projects will stand requires a new approach to thinking about these solutions. Just as service oriented architectures break a solution down into the integral components, security solutions for the enterprise must also be developed with similar principals. Today we will discuss how security solutions can be used as an enabler.
There are three key imperatives in government today.
Reduce the cost of providing services. Budget challenges have become a way of life for most government IT organizations. How can you leverage security solutions to reduce cost?
Empower government employees to allow them to be more productive and serve the public in a more coordinated and efficient manner. How can you leverage security solutions to improve the productivity of government employees?
Transform government services to allow the citizen to interact with governing bodies in a more effective and efficient manner. How can you leverage security solutions to provide more effective services to the citizen?
This topic will include discussions on how to build an efficient, effective, reliable identity infrastructure. A well designed identity infrastructure will allow today’s government institutions to manage growing financial challenges, empower government employees, and transform government services.
