A podcast series centered around important and innovative technology topics through a new and fresh lens creating an easy digest format for very complex technology. For today’s topic, our special guest is Herb Kelsey, Dell Technologies Security Strategy Program Lead from Office of the CTO. And we will spend time on Herb’s favorite topic “Zero Trust."

This week I'm coming to you on a solo mission. Using re-sellers is not often discussed but is a highly valuable tool many small businesses are using.

Seven benefits to using this strategy are:

1. Access to Existing Contracts: Resellers often have existing contracts with the government, allowing small businesses to take advantage of those contracts and sell their products or services without having to go through the often lengthy and complex process of securing their own contract.

2. Established Relationships: Resellers also have established relationships with government agencies, which can be beneficial for small businesses that may not have the same level of familiarity or experience working with the government.

3. Lower Overhead Costs: By using a reseller, small businesses can potentially save money on overhead costs associated with selling to the government, such as marketing, sales, and administrative expenses.

4. Reduced Risk: Resellers can help small businesses reduce their risk by taking on some of the responsibilities and liabilities associated with selling to the government.

5. Increased Flexibility: Subcontracting through a reseller can give small businesses more flexibility in terms of the type of work they take on, as well as the timing and duration of their projects.

6. Assistance with Compliance: Resellers can help small businesses navigate the often complex and confusing world of government regulations and compliance requirements.

7. Potential for Growth: Finally, subcontracting through a reseller can help small businesses grow their business and increase their revenue by accessing new markets and opportunities that may have been previously out of reach.

Overall, subcontracting with a reseller can be a smart move for small businesses looking to break into the government contracting space, and can help them achieve success and profitability in this highly competitive arena.

Join Blackberry and Carahsoft for a podcast on new cybersecurity for federal agencies. Today, federal agencies are challenged with prioritizing the data security and privacy of the American people and government amid an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. The Cybersecurity Executive Order (CSEO) charges, “...the Federal government should lead in cybersecurity...” However, the past approach – adding additional layers to an already overly complex and unmanageable security infrastructure, managed by too few resources – is not sustainable. A new perspective is required to keep up, and ahead, of cyber adversaries today and in the future. During this insightful session with Roger Sels, Vice President, Cybersecurity Solutions, BlackBerry we will explore: How chaos in the field of cybersecurity has led to negative business outcomes Why spending more on cybersecurity – or having a bigger team – does not equate to increased protection New ways agencies can drive outcomes and increase security posture with measurable results.

With the release of OMB’s Federal Zero Trust Strategy on January 26, 2022, agencies now have guidelines for achieving the Zero Trust mandates of the Cybersecurity Executive Order. Listen to the expert panel including former Federal CISO, Danny Connelly, as they discuss pitfalls to avoid when implementing OMB’s required actions and how to quickly comply with the strategy requirements without cutting corners.

Recent advancements in compute, networking, and storage technologies have highlighted high performance computing (HPC) along with putting data analytics and AI within reach for many agencies. Learn how Dell Technologies & Intel can run AI, data analytics, and advanced computing workloads on one system.

In this podcast, you will hear a chat with Matt Brown, CEO of Shorepoint, and Rob Palmer, EVP and CTO of Shorepoint, to discuss what impact the first Quality Services Management Office (QSMO) Shared Service offering from The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) & Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will have on Federal agencies.

Listen to Greg Herbold, Palo Alto Networks’ Director of State and Local and Education, discuss how to consistently tackle the top threats in K-12 schools in traditional and remote learning models.
