Navigating Complexity and Uncertainty in Cloud Computing

Highlights from a recent roundtable, hosted by the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center (ATARC), in partnership with Palo Alto Networks, August 2023

In a recent roundtable discussion hosted by the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center (ATARC) in partnership with Palo Alto Networks, experts from federal agencies shared their experiences navigating the complexities of cloud computing. In this ever-evolving field, uncertainty abounds as agencies adopt and integrate into hybrid work environments, cloud-native applications and multi-cloud platforms.

Adding to the uncertainty are the complexities of cloud security and the lack of technical resources available to many agencies. Procurement practices, hiring skilled talent, continuous training and the future of artificial intelligence(AI) are other challenges agencies are facing in the evolving cloud computing landscape.
