Research & Publications
GTRA Research Brief: The Acceptance of Cloud Computing in the Federal Government
Only a few years ago, the term "Cloud Computing" was known only to the hyper-savvy techies of the world. Today, hardly a week goes by where technology publications and e-newsletters don't mention the term and how it is revolutionizing the federal IT landscape. In 2009, GTRA has seen government executives go from bewilderment to general acceptance of Cloud as a viable model. In this research brief, we look at the key factors which have lead to Cloud's acceptance, address the top concern federal executives have vis-à-vis implementing Cloud Networks, and take a glimpse into the future to see what government executives should do next.

GTRA Research Brief: A Tipping Point - The Fight for our Nation's Cyber Security
GTRA believes that the critical role IT plays in the overall machine we call the Government is often overlooked and undervalued, making it hard for practitioners to not only do their job but truly get excited about what they do. At the same time, this lack of 'limelight' also adversely affects the discussion on the responsibilities and duties facing IT practitioners as servants of the taxpayer. In this research brief, GTRA shares its view on why Government IT practitioners deserve more focus, presents facts it believes show that times are changing with regard to how IT is viewed in the government, and lists the responsibilities it feels members of the community must always remember while performing their day-to-day activities.

White Paper: USB Flash Drive Vulnerabilities Exposed
On January 4, 2010, it was widely reported that certain hardware-encrypted USB flash drives have been hacked. The vendors affected are SanDisk, Kingston and Verbatim. Of particular concern is that some of these devices have received FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security validation from the US Government organization NIST. FIPS 140-2 security validation is required for Government agencies to use encryption products.

White Paper: Six Critical Elements to Achieve Economies in FISMA Compliance
For the past eight years, government agencies have struggled to comply with the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA).  The question before federal agencies is: How can they meet the requirements of FISMA in a cost-efficient but effective manner? Achieving economies in FISMA compliance requires government agencies to take a risk-based approach to managing information security.

White Paper: Defining the Benefits of Adopting a BPM Approach Whitepaper
Although most BPM tool suites are inexpensive, in the current economic climate no expense can escape scrutiny and moving towards BPM will normally have to be justified based on benefit.
The discussion presented in this paper provides an approach to looking at the benefits BPM can provide, as well as some of the costs that may need to be considered. This paper also recognizes that there are two basic levels of improvement projects. These are problem/specific activity improvements which are fairly narrow in scope and broader transformation level improvements. BPM supports both levels, but adoption justification will be different for each level.

White Paper: Cyber Security Mega Trends - Study of IT Leaders in the US Federal Government
What are the biggest security threats to U.S. federal organizations in terms of sensitive and confidential data, core information systems and critical infrastructure over the next few years? According to 217 senior-level IT executives located in various federal organizations, significant areas of information security risks include rapid growth in unstructured data assets, mobility of the federal workforce, cyber terrorism, outsourcing, cloud computing and much more.

White Paper: Knowledge Management - Practice vs Interest
Practicing Knowledge Management entails using proven 'learnings capture methods", e.g. the Industry Learning Circle elements coupled with the Community of Practice vehicle.  In Communities of Practice experiences, the biggest, and most positive, impacts have come in "NOT" selling KM, but painting a clear picture that Knowledge Management is an activity needing attention based on business practices. The message entails that "bad knowledge" can be managed as well as "good knowledge". The difference is the effectiveness of the methods and business practices creating the knowledge. What is found is if the business practices improve, the learnings improve, and then if the learnings are 'cared for', carried and applied forward, then the resulting knowledge is more solid, and then if the knowledge is "managed" properly... hence the intelligence becomes more reliable.

White Paper: The Great Balancing Act - Using USB Flash Drives in Government Environments
USB flash drives and other portable devices are valuable tools in the typical government staffer's virtual toolkit. These handy devices allow workers to efficiently accomplish their duties and carry out their tasks for the public good. But left unchecked, the use of portable devices can also potentially infect public systems with malware, inadvertently expose classified information and/or citizens' personally identifiable information (PII), and otherwise breach the public's trust.

White Paper: The Modern Virtualized Data Center
Data center resources have traditionally been underutilized while drawing enormous amounts of power and taking up valuable floorspace. Storage virtualization has been a positive evolutionary step in the data center, driving consolidation of these resources to maximize utilization and power savings, as well as to simplify management and maintenance. With all of the benefits of virtualization comes a wholesale change in the way that you must plan for implementation, management, backup and recovery.

White Paper:  Achieving Federal Desktop Core Configuration Compliance with Lumension Solutions
Change management is a well known IT concern and its importance is underscored by its presence within the ITIL9 and COBIT10 standard frameworks. Agencies are responsible to ensure continuing compliance as systems change over time per the reporting requirements of FISMA. As new computing platforms are introduced or as new vendor applications are incorporated into each agency's network, processes and policies must be in place to guarantee ongoing FDCC compliance.

White Paper: Cloud Computing and Databases - How Databases Can Meet the Demands of Cloud Computing
The potential benefits of cloud computing are overwhelming. However, attaining these benefits requires that each aspect of the cloud platform support the key design principles of the cloud model. One of the core design principles is dynamic scalability, or the ability to provision and decommission servers on demand. Unfortunately, the majority of today's database servers are incapable of satisfying this requirement. This paper reviews the benefits of cloud computing and then evaluates two database architectures - shared-disk and shared-nothing - for their compatibility with cloud computing.

Webcast:  Ensure Pain Free FISMA Compliance
Federal CISOs note compliance as one of their top three priorities with significant time spent on addressing compliance issues.  This is exacerbated by the complexity of today's IT environment, including physical and virtual environments, multiple operating systems and applications supported, and the mobility of data and users.  A FISMA compliance approach that relies on a manual and labor-intensive process can produce mountains of paper and electronic documents that become quite burdensome to manage and ultimately don't ensure a secure network.  It's no surprise then, that in a recent ISC2 survey, while FISMA is generally viewed as having had a positive effect, two in five CISOs believe it has become misdirected or is a time-wasting exercise.

Upcoming Industry Events
February 17, 2010: Secure Information Sharing - Balancing the Need to Share with the Need to Protect (Free to Government)
President Obama's recent Executive Order on Classified National Security Information prescribes a uniform system for classifying data to ensure secure information sharing. However users often lack the tools to easily apply consistent classification labels to emails and documents, which hinders information sharing and increases the risk of inadvertent disclosure. Email deborahk@gtra.org for more information or to RSVP.

February 25, 2010: Complimentary Telework Exchange Business Continuity Planning Webcast
