Government priorities for Information Technology must frequently change based on the rapid evolution of technology itself, emerging cybersecurity threats, and the development of better, more efficient processes and methods for meeting complex challenges. Expressed in Executive Orders and new/updated standards, rules, and regulations, these priorities are also reflected in contract vehicles and proposals. Criterion’s subject matter experts stay on top of these strategic issues, working within our Centers of Excellence to develop Criterion’s approach to solving these challenges. Often, this means working across our core competencies to identify best practices and how they might be combined to create new solutions.
