Defending the Digital Front Door: A Strategic Approach to Website and Infrastructure Security in State and Local Government
<p>In today’s digital-first era, state and local governments deliver more services online than ever before. Agency websites are no longer static pages — they are constituent-facing platforms that power transactions, manage personal data and connect to complex backend systems.</p> <p>As these systems grow in complexity, so do the risks. Cyber threats have evolved beyond simple distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and now target the entire application ecosystem with sophisticated tools and tactics, many powered by artificial intelligence.</p> <p>Securing public sector websites requires more than just firewalls and patching. Download this solution brief now to learn more about a comprehensive, cloud-smart approach that balances performance, accessibility, and security without compromise.</p>

From Policy to Practice: Operationalizing Zero Trust for the Federal Government in the Age of AI
<p></p> <p>A new survey of 275 federal civilian and defense IT and security leaders, conducted by Market Connections and GovExec, finds near-universal agreement that AI must be governed like any other identity within Zero Trust. Yet a widening gap separates that intent from reality: only 11% have fully integrated AI into their Zero Trust architecture, just 24% have real visibility into API-based AI interactions, and only 13% enforce security policy consistently across AI agents, apps, endpoints, cloud, and SaaS.</p> <p>Download the full report to see where federal AI security actually stands, and what it will take to close the gap.</p>
Thoughtworks and Google Public Sector deliver seamless digital transformation
<p>Government leaders are being asked to modernize service delivery, improve citizen experiences and adopt AI capabilities — all while operating within the constraints of legacy systems, workforce shortages and increasing mission demands. While constituent expectations are shaped by smooth interactions with commercial technologies, government modernization is often constrained by decades-old legacy systems, fragmented operating models and data silos that prevent seamless, end-to-end service delivery.</p> <p>Download this impact brief to learn how a Google-Thoughtworks partnership can help your agency build a resilient, connected and responsive operating model to deliver seamless digital transformation.</p>
2026 State of Grants Management and Technology Report

The public sector agentic era: Trading pilots for transformation
<p></p> <p>The agentic era marks a significant paradigm shift for the government. Technology leaders are no longer asking if AI can be implemented or what AI can do, but rather how fast it can be deployed to solve the nation’s most pressing challenges. From federal agency headquarters to local city halls, all levels of government are answering this question by using AI to transform critical operations. Use cases range from accelerating drug approval processes, to unifying previously siloed IT operations, to managing logistics and public safety as the City of Los Angeles prepares to host several major events over the next three years, to creating more personalized learning journeys for health care students.
