When the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or the CARES Act was passed into law on March 27, 2020, the package included significant funds for Federal agencies to expand bandwidth capabilities and make new technology procurements. The pandemic has highlighted the fact that long-term mission continuity is only possible through rapid modernization and workforce adaptation.
One of the fastest routes to IT modernization lies in the adoption of cloud computing technology. By leveraging cloud technology, agencies can rapidly implement new technologies while also saving costs that used to be allocated to data center maintenance. But perhaps most importantly, cloud technology empowers federal employees to access mission critical resources from wherever they may be working. Everlaw is a cloud-native ediscovery solution, optimized for self-service and instant deployment. Already equipped to support the federal government’s IT transformation, Everlaw expedites procurement for quicker access to an integrated, modern ediscovery solution.
This webinar series will focus on the considerations of federal agencies as they make the transition to the cloud, with our first topic being security considerations. In this webinar we will discuss:
- The importance of clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of the federal agency vs. the responsibilities of the cloud service provider, and the role that FedRAMP plays in that relationship.
- Understanding how Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models impact security obligations
- The non-technical impacts of security decisions including impact on business functions, workflows and ethical/legal obligations.
