Agenda

Registration/Check-in & Networking

Welcome & Kickoff

In 2020, the Florida Digital Service was created to help state agencies use technology more effectively, move toward data-driven solutions, and improve Floridians’ digital interactions with government. Our panelists will discuss how FDS and other state agencies are looking to achieve these goals.

Improving the Customer Experience

Moving Florida agencies to a cloud-ready architecture that supports scalability and digital interoperability is a primary objective for the state. Our panelists will share the progress that has been made and how it has improved the state government’s ability to integrate emerging technologies.

Bring on the Cloud

Cybersecurity is the foundation upon which all internet-based transactions are built. The state’s cybersecurity initiatives include monitoring and threat detection, incident response and recovery, cybersecurity grants to local governments, and consulting and assessment services. Our panelists will discuss the state’s progress in improving its own cybersecurity posture and strengthening local agencies’ protections.
