Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever, and federal agencies must adapt to stay ahead. From implementing Zero Trust architectures to grappling with the implications of generative AI, the federal sectors face both unprecedented risks and powerful new defense opportunities. Further, the human and organizational dimensions of cybersecurity must be simultaneously addressed, including closing workforce gaps, strengthening insider threat programs, and expanding real-time intelligence sharing across agencies.
Join the ACT-IAC IT Management and Modernization COI for an interactive session exploring the latest cybersecurity capabilities shaping the federal landscape. Federal and industry experts will share best practices and lessons learned from Zero Trust implementation, discuss how AI is simultaneously reshaping threat vectors and defense strategies, and examine the rising risks of generative-AI enabled attacks, including deepfakes, synthetic identities, and data poisoning. Speakers will provide a candid look at how government leaders are prioritizing investments, overcoming implementation hurdles, and preparing for the future of cyber defense.
