Huge Procurement Budgets In Justice & Homeland Security
“WASHINGTON TECHNOLOGY”
“Federal IT is converging in a number of meaningful ways, and identifying plays within cloud and cybersecurity is a must for every IT company in the federal market.
It is more important than ever to understand the network of relationships between systems integrators and their federal customers.
Working with a distributor who understands the changing landscape of the federal market will help you get your products in the hands of government agencies by driving demand creation and lead generation.
The trend toward transformation across the government aims to increase automation, share information within and among agencies, and move to paperless systems for applications and documentation.
The transformational push will mean greater use of the cloud for data and applications. This is particularly true among law enforcement agencies. The proposed fiscal 2017 budget suggests more opportunities across the federal law enforcement community for IT solutions targeted towards cloud and…

Spending Trillions to Create More Enemies Than We Destroy
“THE CIPHER BRIEF- WALTER PINCUS”
“It’s time to think of the costs that more than 14 years of war have had on this country.
I’m not just thinking in terms of dollars, although we should worry because most of the added expense, over $1 trillion, has been put on a credit card. This so-called war on terrorism – with no end in sight – remains the first war that American presidents have not asked the public to pay for with a special tax.
I’m also concerned with how few Americans are directly or even indirectly involved in the conflict, with only one percent of U.S. citizens serving or having served in the military, and another two or three percent only being a part of the defense community.
That means more than 90 percent of the public are just observers, for whom this near decade-and-a-half of bloodshed is something that appears on…

Sunday Quick Note: Privacy vs Security
Today’s quick note involves a March 4 post at emarketer.com titled “Internet Users in Germany Hope for a Balance of Safety and Privacy.” This post offers a short but revealing glimpse at German attitudes toward data privacy and security.
The post tells us that Germans don’t think much of service providers’ ability to keep their data safe. In fact, only 10% of Germans feel U.S. service providers can keep their personal information secure, and only 22% of them trust European service providers. Ironically, 83% believe retailers will keep their personal data secure!
Not surprisingly these trust statistics also reveal something about how Germans relate privacy, security and risk: “Those who feel that using the internet means accepting a certain level of surveillance and limited data security has grown by 12 percentage points over that same period, from 56% to 68%.” And nearly 40% of those surveyed…
