Future of Government

June 5, 2013

While the world has moved very quickly, governments have struggled to keep pace. And delivering on the ‘customer promise’ remains as much of a challenge now as it was six years ago. Not only have expectations risen exponentially with rapid developments in new technology, but the funds for investing in public services have dried up in many countries. And the assumptions underlying apparently successful models of the past, such as New Public Management, are being challenged.

Shift Left API Security Testing for Government Agencies

whitePaper | September 7, 2022

Similar to how retailers create personalized experiences by integrating location, inventory, and payment data, government agencies also create contextual experiences for constituents and personnel by leveraging APIs. The impact of APIs can be seen across all major sectors of government, including traffic and transportation management, utilities, healthcare, social services, agriculture, as well as law enforcement. With the seamless connection between datasets and agencies, government personnel are able to innovate faster and drive speed to mission. How exactly? APIs reduce the workload and redundant operations performed by developers by allowing them to access data stored elsewhere.
