This new strategy will embody the interdisciplinary approach to IT modernization that the Federal enterprise needs in order to provide improved return on its investments, enhanced security, and higher quality services to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the strategy, Cloud First \u2014 which was released by the Obama administration in early 2011 \u2014 gave agencies the broad authority to adopt cloud, and the new strategy focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to bringing cloud services into government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy should come as no surprise to federal agencies, as the administration released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2018\/09\/24\/white-house-seeks-a-smarter-cloud-strategy\/\" target=_blank>substantively similar draft<\/a> of the policy back in September 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main precepts of the strategy also follow the major tenets of previous Trump administration documents, such as modernizing the federal workforce as a means of supporting IT and restructuring how agencies look at data security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven the distributed nature of cloud and the growing number of discrete capabilities and deployment models available to choose from, agencies might consider moving or adding security and privacy controls to the data layer itself, rather than just where they have historically resided at the network perimeter,\u201d the strategy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy doing so, agencies can improve their overall security and privacy posture, empowering them to fully embrace cloud technologies while granting them peace of mind that the confidentiality and integrity of their data are intact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy also relies heavily on already-established policies, legislation and initiatives that agencies are encouraged to leverage: the Department of Homeland security\u2019s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program; the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act; Trusted Internet Connection policy; use of category management in acquisition; the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education\u2019s framework for identifying needed IT and cybersecurity skills gaps and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo be Cloud Smart, agencies must consider how to use their current resources to maximize value: reskilling and retraining staff, enhancing security postures, and using best practices and shared knowledge in acquisitions. Cloud Smart is about equipping agencies with the tools and knowledge they need to make these decisions for themselves, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach,\u201d the strategy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final version of the White House&#8217;s new strategy instructs agencies to consider three pillars for successful cloud
