Cloud Adoption in Federal Agencies
Federal agencies’ priorities and challenges in adopting cloud technologies
What federal leaders need to know about the quantum shift
<p>Quantum computing promises breakthroughs in science, logistics and defense. But it also poses one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges of the decade. Once cryptographically relevant quantum computers emerge, they will be able to break the encryption protecting sensitive government and defense data. That makes the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) not just an IT project, but a national security imperative.</p> <p>At the 2025 Quantum Summit, Matt Mickelson, senior principal for research in MITRE Labs’ cyber technology office, and Hart Montgomery, CTO of the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust and director of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance, outlined what agencies must know to prepare.</p>

Reinventing healthcare for public sector retirees
<p>Public sector retiree healthcare benefits, traditionally offered through group plans, have created nearly $800 billion in unfunded liabilities as costs rise and populations age. With limited assets set aside, these obligations strain state and local budgets, threatening credit ratings and fiscal stability. A sustainable solution lies in the individual marketplace, where Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) enable retirees to choose affordable, high-quality coverage. This model reduces employer risk and costs while preserving retiree benefits.</p>
