At the recent United States Public Sector user group event, Dynatrace brought together government leaders and partners to address pressing technology topics such as FedRAMP, zero trust, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the public sector. Discussions included the need for more robust FedRAMP certifications to facilitate federal IT modernization and the strategic shift in AI adoption as encouraged by the White House's executive order, which emphasizes a risk-based framework rather than outright bans. The importance of human involvement in AI implementation to ensure ethical considerations was highlighted, alongside the adoption of a zero-trust mindset to mitigate inevitable breaches. Panelists from various federal agencies shared insights on prioritizing directives, separating projects for effective implementation, and leveraging Dynatrace for enhanced monitoring, visibility, and security. They emphasized the role of Dynatrace in facilitating digital transformation, enabling agencies to make informed decisions regarding cloud deployment, AI operations, and security, thus paving the way for successful modernization efforts across federal organizations.
