Future of Gov Security - Automated ATOs, Revamped TIC and Beyond

The President’s Management Agenda (PMA) is calling on agencies to accelerate their IT modernization efforts with a continued focus on security. At this month’s meetup, we will discuss how agencies can navigate ATOs and TIC compliance, so they can realize the benefits of the cloud and achieve greater agility while strengthening their security posture.

To take a closer look and gain insight on how government and industry are working together to drive innovation, we invite you to RSVP and join us for the Microsoft Azure Government Meetup, “Future of Gov Security – Automated ATOs, Revamped TIC & Beyond,” on Wednesday, Aug. 29 from 6 – 8:15 p.m. at 1776 Crystal City, Virginia.*

*IMPORTANT: Due to construction at our usual 1776 DC location, the August Meetup will be in 1776’s Crystal City location.

Address:
1776 ( https://www.1776.vc/crystal-city/ )
2231 Crystal Drive, #1000 (10th Floor)
Arlington, VA 22203

Getting There:
Metro
The closest metro stop is Crystal City (yellow & blue lines).
1776 is about a 7 minute walk from the station (you can also
walk through the Crystal City Shops “Underground” and make most
of the trip indoors - follow signs to “23rd Street”).

Parking
The 1776 building has an underground parking deck on 23rd Street S and
Crystal Drive, right at the intersection. When you enter the parking
lot, turn left following signs to the restaurant “Ruth’s Chris". Make
sure to park in the green zone to access our building directly (if
you’re not sure, the pillars have the building address on them as
well). Parking is free if you enter the deck after 4:00 PM.

The Microsoft Azure Government DC User Community, a growing community of nearly 1,900 members, hosts monthly Meetups that include industry and government professionals sharing best practices, lessons learned, and insights on government cloud innovation. Please join us!
