Companies everywhere are implementing DevOps practices to bring fast innovation of software to market. Frequent pushes of small, microservice updates are in high demand. Federal agencies want in on the action too, and they bring their own sets of challenges.


When working within air gapped environments, security is of the utmost importance, so how do you make it work? Open source solutions don’t always seem like the first choice to turn to. Many of them demand constant Internet access for updates. With the right strategy in place, open source solution can often not only be an option, but the best option. In this session, Jay Hancock, DevOps Manager at Parsons Corporation, will discuss how he and his team have addressed some of the challenging requirements of the defense and intelligence
 community. He will provide a detailed viewpoint into using open source technologies like kubernetes, containers, and more.

In this session, a panel of representatives from across the public sector will discuss their journey with automation, including how to get buy-in to start a project, measurement strategies, and how to expand that automation to other parts of the organization. The panel will explore the unique challenges defense, education, and utilities sectors have when implementing automation, and how those lessons can be applied to any challenge.

Automation in the public sector: where to start, and how to know it’s working

Networks have already begun to adapt to meet the next generation of needs as digital transformation accelerates to include better connectivity across remote locations, programmability of campus and datacenter networks, and of course hybrid cloud modernizations.  As these transformations take place, networks become even more essential and increase in size and complexity.  Manual processes and operations will not be able to keep pace, and so companies are increasing their network automation efforts to respond faster to business needs, increase efficiency, reduce unexpected downtime, control costs and unburden valuable resources for more transformative work. 

But where do you start and what technologies can provide you the most flexibility? Join this session to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can help to automate full network processes instead of just one sliver of network operations.

In this webinar, you’ll discover: 

    •    How to identify the best project for your initial efforts and how to scale automated NetOps.
    •    The unique benefits of this automation platform and the basics of how it works.
    •    How to implement automated network workflows, in a demonstration—followed by Q&A.

Network automation 101: Getting started with network automation

Hybrid cloud environments add an additional layer of complexity to infrastructure, network, application, and user administration. IT teams need to manage both on-site and cloud-based environments, often using specialized management tools for each. Although these tools accomplish their intended tasks, they don’t provide a platform for automating tasks across hybrid environments or capability outside of their specific domain. As a result, it can be difficult to automate routine tasks or connect and scale hybrid cloud resources using these tools. Automation can unite hybrid cloud management under a single set of processes and policies to improve consistency, scalability, and speed.

Join this session to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can simplify how you provision, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure, streamlining and operationalizing activities across multiple platforms and services.

As long as there is software, there will be patching. Now more than ever, security vulnerabilities left unpatched put agencies at significant risk. The Cost of a data breach report 2022 found that vulnerabilities in third-party software are some of the most costly breaches and are a common attack vector. Organizations that automate security incident response have a 74-day shorter recovery time. This is the largest, single cost-saving decision an agency can make to protect its systems and data. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a binding operational directive for federal civilian agencies that calls for a process (and actions) to remediate known exploited vulnerabilities within two weeks. Timelines could even be accelerated for vulnerabilities that pose a grave risk to the federal enterprise. Automation provides the ability to react at this speed and scale operations to busy IT teams. Vulnerabilities are not isolated to just an operating system, application, or device. They can come from any angle at any layer of the digital infrastructure, which requires a solution that helps IT teams work together. Additionally, the solution must be able to integrate with existing security response tools for streamlined and rapid response. Agencies that deploy an enterprise automation platform are better positioned to proactively secure their hybrid infrastructure, reducing response time and increasing compliance. Join this webinar to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform is the solution to meet modern cybersecurity challenges. In this webinar, we’ll cover: The risk of known exploits to the federal enterprise CISA-binding operational directive for remediating vulnerabilities
How an enterprise automation strategy provides a security response in less time
An overview of Ansible Automation Platform
Join us to find out about the substantial value automation provides when responding to the security incidents and compliance requirements.

Software engineering has changed dramatically over the years with better collaborative development practices, migration from monoliths to microservices and more. But what about machine learning? How has machine learning based development evolved over the years? In this session, we'll discuss early ML setup and practices and how it's evolved into today's collaborative data science and streamlined ML deployment and MLOps best practices.

Building modern machine learning pipelines

As the global threat landscape evolves, leaders must adapt their cybersecurity practices to better protect valuable data and ensure mission success. The rise of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which segments access and limits user permissions to specific applications and services, can help limit attackers’ lateral movement, reduce attack surfaces, and contain the impact of breaches. 

And with the United States Federal Government issuing an Executive Order to advance toward a zero trust architecture, agencies are implementing zero trust like never before.

Implementation, however, is not without its challenges. In this interactive three-part series, Red Hat and GovExec connect you with government and industry experts to provide strategic perspectives on making the right IT infrastructure choices to support zero trust - now and into the future.

Join us on Thursday, July 27, for the first installment of this series as we dive into automation and the crosscutting zero trust concerns, challenges and pain points it can address. We’ll discuss the benefits of leveraging automation, and how it can help scale zero trust policies, rules, and processes and ensure compliance. And, of course, we’ll talk about the hurdles to embracing automation — and how to cross them. So get your questions ready and register today for July 27, along with the subsequent webinars for August 28 and September 27!

Automation and Zero Trust for the Public Sector

Today, most public sector organizations have built their operations using legacy applications. In many cases, these applications are still critical, but not nearly as performant or cost-effective as they once were. As such, agency leaders are looking for ways to become faster and more agile so that they can continue to enable innovation, control costs, and provide new ways to consume information. 

How can agencies take advantage of the assets they have already developed over the years, and simultaneously take advantage of new open technologies? During this webcast, join public sector decision-makers to examine the importance of application modernization, discuss trends and best practices for a more unified modernization strategy to support a newly distributed workforce.
