Cloud migration requires federal agencies to move data and infrastructure into environments like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Office 365—but doing so without introducing risk demands careful planning. Agencies must understand what data they have, where it resides, and which portions are duplicate, sensitive, or regulated.
