Sometimes, a company becomes so large that it is difficult to be specific about how it can help any organization, especially one as vast as the federal government.
Today, we sit down with Ron Bushar, Chief Information Security Officer & Managing Director – Google Public Sector. We address many of the significant concerns federal technology leaders have regarding topics such as cloud-native, edge computing, and Zero Trust.
This is a rudimentary overview of working with Google Public Sector. If you would like to connect in more detail, you can attend the free Google Public Sector event in late October. The focus will be on the investments Google Public Sector has made in AI and security.
Ron Bushar begins the discussion by highlighting the benefits of transitioning to cloud-native applications. Modern applications demand availability anytime and anywhere.
Emphasizing applications that can leverage the cloud provides scalability and security that are often lacking in older systems. Furthermore, when one combines cloud-native with AI, the result is a lighter-weight platform that can be used worldwide to support missions.
This “anywhere” concept encompasses areas of the world that require remote access, which is increasingly referred to as edge computing. Google has provided international access since its early years, and it has the capability that can allow federal technology to be connected at the edge.
Most federal security conversations today involve the concept of Zero Trust. Ron Bushar makes the point that Google was a pioneer in Zero Trust.
