As U.S. government agencies migrate operations and apps to multi-cloud environments, there are lessons learned to be gained from their private sector counterparts. John Sellers of Cisco shares some of these lessons, as well as questions government security leaders need to be asking about the cloud.

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Sellers discusses:

• Cloud migration trends and challenges for public sector entities;
• Lessons to be drawn from private sector migrations;
• How Cisco is now bringing its cloud security experience to bear for public sector clients.
