Silver lining to modernize IT and secure the remote workforce, with Splunk's Steve McMahon

The massive shift to telework in recent weeks has put enormous pressures on federal, state and local IT departments, given the scale and complexity involved in shifting operations. But there may be a silver lining, as IT leaders are in a stronger position to advocate for more modern and out-of-the-box solutions that can deliver services faster or more flexibly. Steve McMahon, Interim CIO at Splunk, can relate to what agency IT departments are going through. He shares some of the steps his organization had to take to adapt to new operating environment — and suggests strategies that IT departments can use to address the expanded set of security risks.
