Ex-FCC Chief Data Officer and CivicActions Partner Greg Elin will introduce participants to 10 reasons why your next ATO (Authority to Operate) may take minutes instead of months and how CivicActions and GovReady are collaborating to automate compiling System Security Plans for Drupal-based government IT systems.
