Most practitioners building cybersecure environments know the basics: simplify system procedures, invest in continuous education, and elevate visibility across the network. But what happens when new mandates are applied to legacy systems? The “bolt-on” approach is often expensive, frustrating, and ineffective. This week on Feds At the Edge, experts from NETCOM, DARPA, and Axonius discuss how automation, AI, and [...]
Available on demand | January 29, 2026 | 1 Hour | 1 CPE A Practical Blueprint for FSIs As of Nov. 10, 2025, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is no longer optional for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). With the three-year phase-in period already underway, federal systems integrators (FSIs) face growing pressure to implement CMMC Level 2 [...]
In this week’s episode of Feds at the Edge, we cut through the hype and focus on practical strategies, including setting a baseline, prioritizing alerts, and taking a closer look at the unique characteristics of Operational Technology (OT). Alex Maier of August Schell shares the benefits of moving towards behavior-based tool, noting that understanding what “typical” behavior looks like [...]
Available on demand | January 22, 2026 | 1 Hour | 1 CPE In the world of marketing, having a “brand” is most commonly associated with “customer brand,” that is, what garners public trust, establishes your organization’s reputation, and elevates the value of your programs and services. This is less applicable for government agencies, since they almost always [...]
Available on Demand | January 21, 2026 | 1 Hour | 1 CPE The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported in March 2025 that the U.S. government loses somewhere between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, based on data from fiscal years 2018 through 2022. On top of that, improper payments by the government have totaled an estimated $2.8 [...]
One sensor can generate 1.3 million data points per minute. Now imagine hundreds of them on a single military aircraft. OT powers everything from sensors in Air Force fighter jets to floating ocean buoys, yet applying traditional data management strategies to these systems is anything but simple. While many understand that OT controls physical devices, far fewer grasp the [...]
Available on Demand | January 14, 2026 | 1 Hour | 1 CPE Licensing and permitting are an integral part of housing development in countries around the world, touching every stage from application to occupancy. Yet many governments still rely on decades-old systems that can't keep up with the speed and complexity of today's housing demands. In the [...]
As agencies look to modernize healthcare systems, technology leaders face a unique challenge: driving innovation while safeguarding sensitive personal data and meeting strict regulatory requirements.This week on Feds At the Edge, we hear from two unique perspectives on how to modernize healthcare safely, strategically, and effectively.Suresh Soundararajan, CIO for the Virginia Department of Health, explains why technology initiatives fail when [...]
As agencies migrate to the cloud, security teams are reassessing the risks and limitations of data secured in air-gapped environments. IT teams rely on air-gapped networks to store sensitive and critical data because they’re not connected to the internet, only allowing localized access to the protected information. This makes physical security an active component of cybersecurity. However, [...]
