As they are deluged with data, attacks, and new technology on a daily basis, it can be confusing what to prioritize and in trying to defend everything, agencies can be left vulnerable to attack.   In this week\u2019s episode of Feds At The Edge, several thought leaders share how they set priorities, leverage existing tools, and experiment with new solutions to enhance efficiency and security.   Bridget Carper-Arnone of the Department of Energy discusses how Enterprise License Agreements and centralized governance can reduce costs and streamline compliance across multiple systems. SEC\u2019s Jeff King emphasizes the value of understanding existing tools, noting that a deeper dive with vendors can uncover capabilities agencies may already have. While Emilio Escobar from DataDog highlights observability and AI as keys to modernization, explaining how greater visibility into the technology environment can help agencies deploy resources more effectively. Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to hear federal technology leaders share practical strategies for prioritizing investments, maximizing existing tools, and modernizing with greater efficiency and security.   ","author_name":"Feds At The Edge by FedInsider","author_url":"http:\/\/fedinsider.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
