Under Pressure: How Public Sector Agencies Can Rise to the Challenge of Secure Digital Transformation

Public sector agencies face a daunting set of challenges as society adjusts to the post-COVID-19 environment. Whether it is federal, state and local government, military, law enforcement, or blue light responders, all disciplines that previously depended on in-person processes have been forced to pivot to digital alternatives at an uncomfortable speed.

In the space of a year, society has transformed beyond recognition and digital-first is now imperative. As a result, demand for public services application development is outstripping available coding and security expertise. Citizens urgently need digital-based public services so they can continue their lives in a world that appears unlikely to return to the familiar processes of the past. At the same time, the ever-present squeeze on public finances means resources are limited and any proposed investment must guarantee cost-savings and efficiency.
