Modernize IT to advance the mission

In a world where America’s security is compromised daily by cyberthreats and breaches, agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and groups within the intelligence community need a comprehensive strategy that cuts across programs to prioritize security and improve data protection and information sharing—all within a climate of tight budgets and skill gap challenges.    

As a trusted advisor in IT modernization, Red Hat understands these challenges and meets you where you are to customize solutions and remove barriers to innovation so you can get to mission faster with solutions that are cost efficient, accredited, and compliant with government regulations. 

While each agency has a unique mission to protect the nation, there are common challenges all face beyond strengthening IT security. Often, disconnected legacy solutions inhibit modernization and organizational development—impacting the ability to use automation to fuse large amounts of data and real-time intelligence from multiple, disparate systems to make decisions and act faster.  

Other digital transformation challenges national security agencies face together include:

National security agencies face constantly evolving and technologically sophisticated threats that require quick responses. To protect communities, this means adopting more agile processes that comply with legal regulations. And it requires interoperable technology that improves access to biometric data and support requirements for rapid analysis and identification in the field.

Red Hat serves as a trusted advisor to help DHS and other federal civilian agencies enhance cybersecurity by spending less time maintaining technology and more time innovating through our managed services offering. And with our Kubernetes and edge computing technologies, we can help agencies digitally transform with agility and flexibility to adopt and implement a modern hybrid cloud strategy that allows you to run what you want, where it needs it to run. 

As it faces challenges with shadow IT, technical debt, and shifting budget priorities, the DOJ seeks to modernize its IT infrastructure to improve security and manage data better across all of its programs. Red Hat’s open source portfolio provides the flexibility, stability, and security that DOJ requires.

To fulfill its mission, the intelligence community must continually stay ahead of its targets and adversaries as they attempt to observe and disrupt American intelligence efforts and develop and deploy defenses and countermeasures. 

This means the intelligence community needs to move quickly to minimize risks, manage information and knowledge, collect significant quantities of useful, highly reliable and actionable data to inform decision making, and improve how it shares critical data across departments, public sector agencies, and allies. 

Red Hat’s open source technologies can help the intelligence community modernize effectively and remain competitive by adopting, developing, and scaling tools for optimized data collection and analysis, including artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).

Built upon the foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), OpenShift, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat’s broad portfolio of products and solutions emphasize stability, speed, scale, and security to help national security agencies modernize and achieve their mission to defend and protect the nation. 

Working with our extensive ecosystem of partners, agencies can realize long-term cost savings and avoid vendor lock-in, while enjoying the flexibility to run programs anywhere, any time. As your partner in digital transformation, we focus on modernization, hybrid cloud, and automation while maintaining the important balance among technology, process, and people.
