McLean, VA, Aug. 08, 2017 -- GCN, an 1105 Media, Inc. media and event brand, is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2017 dig IT Awards.

These awards shine the spotlight on outstanding examples of discovery and innovation in government IT --  transformative tech that is reinventing the public sector and the IT professionals who are driving the those efforts forward.

The 2017 finalists are grouped into five categories: Cybersecurity; Cloud and Infrastructure; Big Data, Analytics and Visualization; Mobile; and Robotics, Automation and Unmanned Systems. The overall winner in each category, as selected by a judging panel of top government IT innovators, will be announced at the October 19th GCN dig IT Awards Gala.

"There's an amazing amount of innovation in government – both cutting-edge technologies themselves and remarkably creative uses of existing tech in new ways," said GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy K.
