There have been plenty of articles warning of the cybersecurity risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI), whether it is bad actors – from hostile nation-states to cyber criminals – or new attack vectors caused by AI implementations. At the same time, numerous other reports point out that AI can strengthen cybersecurity. For agencies looking to incorporate AI into their systems, cybersecurity is a great place to focus. AI tools c...

Zero Trust architecture is not an end state – it's a framework to support the continuous improvement of cybersecurity so that networks and systems can stay protected even as threats evolve. Instead of security models that crack under pressure, agencies need resilient architectures that get stronger when attacked. And that's what Zero Trust delivers. At the same time, organizations are faced with constrained resources and increasing manda...

Zero Trust architecture is not an end state – it’s a framework to support the continuous improvement of cybersecurity so that networks and systems can stay protected even as threats evolve. Instead of security models that crack under pressure, agencies need resilient architectures that get stronger when attacked. And that’s what Zero Trust delivers. At the same time, organizations are faced with constrained resources and incr...

The original version of Moore’s law declared that the capacity of an integrated circuit – the backbone of IT – doubles every two years. For decision-makers in the era of artificial intelligence, this could be revised to observe that new versions of AI proliferate at an accelerated rate. Because AI is so new, yet already has so many offshoots, agencies are wrestling with which type of AI to implement – agentic or generat...

Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize IT systems, strengthen cybersecurity, and meet rigorous compliance standards — while continuing to deliver on their mission and improve citizen services. In this environment of mandated modernization, success requires not only adopting secure cloud technologies, but also maintaining continuous visibility, resilience, and trust. Compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP�, the Federal...

There is a critical conversation to be held on safeguarding U.S. critical infrastructure against persistent and evolving cyber threats. With global adversaries increasingly targeting power grids, communications networks, water systems, and other essential services, the urgency to fortify national cybersecurity has never been greater. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation continue to evolve. Organizations must ret...

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share what they have learned about enhancing cybersecurity without either surrendering tools and capabilities they already have or increasing the complexity of their cyber landscape. Agencies have spent years working on cybersecurity, from implementing continuous diagnostics and mitigation to installing identity authentication and management tools to moving to a Zero Trust architecture. T...

Performance-based programs are essential for driving federal government transformation. They directly align resources and incentives with measurable outcomes. Unlike traditional models that emphasize activity over impact, performance-based approaches ensure that agencies are accountable for service delivery of results that matter—such as improved citizen services, operational efficiency, and mission readiness. Learning Objectives: Unders...
