More than you\u2019d think, and the stakes for their data have never been higher.  This week on Feds At the Edge, experts from North Dakota Information Technology, State of Vermont Agency Digital Services, and Palo Alto explore how states bridge geographical and administrative divides to secure their digital future. Despite stark differences in scale and structure, both faces universal challenges: managing massive data volumes and modernizing legacy systems.  We discuss three approaches that can improve services while reducing costs:  Scalable Operations: The benefits of a Joint Security Operations Center (JSOC) for multi-agency coordination.  Surface Management: Utilizing external perspectives to identify entry points and address vulnerabilities.  Incident Response: Moving past a "head-in-the-sand" mentality to develop actionable plans for when a state gets hit.  Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to learn how effective, team-based operations are helping leaders rise to the occasion and achieve the goal of doing more with less.        ","author_name":"Feds At The Edge by FedInsider","author_url":"http:\/\/fedinsider.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
