Akamai’s Patrick Sullivan on what IT modernization really means

Patrick Sullivan, CTO for Akamai Technologies, says IT modernization is about empowering government employees by delivering productivity gains, improving user experience and strengthening security and privacy.

From the security perspective, as more data is made available, the big focus in recent years is around protecting the integrity of that data and the confidentiality of that data. Including a focus around the privacy of users.

He also shares that remote access and how you grant access to applications will be key in modernization, and said he is seeing more modern approaches to remote access, which delivers that security benefit and brings more efficient traffic flows to the edge.
