Many U.S. states are hampered by traditional technology silos and data barriers between agencies. Starting in 2017, the Maryland Department of Human Services initiated a cloud-based data repository and application platform for delivering social services to its residents – known as MD THINK.

In this session, we’ll hear from Maryland’s Chief Information Security Officer, John Evans, about how the state designed for security, scalability, and data integration and built a platform that already serves a third of Maryland residents (with bigger plans ahead!).
