How to Bring Infrastructure, Security and AI Together

The continuing pace of innovation in IT calls for government to respond in kind – adopting new tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), building in greater security and resilience, and modernizing infrastructure to end the constraints of legacy systems.

Among the most significant trends is the acute need to implement Zero Trust principles as a bulwark against cyber threats. Just as AI is making it possible to streamline agency workflows and decision-making, it is providing similar capabilities to hostile actors. And these, in turn, drive the need to modernize government infrastructure. The growth of endpoints, expanding the perimeter of agency networks, means an expansion of the attack surface – something that new policies and procedures, new tools and techniques, are better able to address.

November 7: Progress in Getting to Zero Trust

Modernizing Security for a Perimeter-less World

As the cyber threat landscape grows increasingly complex, pressure grows on agencies to implement Zero Trust architecture to protect their users, their data, and their systems. Among the obstacles: the need to modernize legacy systems, how to manage identity, and keeping up with both evolving threats and evolving compliance standards.

The administration is working on the preparation and release of ‘Zero Trust 2.0,’ with a focus on efficiency and rationalization – that investments in cybersecurity provide meaningful outcomes.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss practical approaches to modernizing legacy systems and implementing Zero Trust principles.

November 14: The Role of AI in Modern Government

Responsible Innovation for a Smarter Public Sector

The federal government is moving quickly to embrace the use of AI tools across agencies. The purpose of such tools is to improve delivery of public services, enhance decision-making, and strengthen national security.

To use these tools responsibly, agencies must understand their infrastructure, data governance, and workforce availability policies, and how they intersect with AI requirements and operations. Additionally, there are ongoing conversations regarding the necessary ethical, operational, and policy frameworks that will guide AI innovation throughout the government.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the challenges in adopting AI, and the benefits and opportunities these tools can unlock.

November 21: Government Infrastructure Efficiency

Modernizing the Data Center for the AI Era

As the federal government begins to implement plans to build AI data centers and generation plants to support its current and anticipated demands for AI capabilities, agencies continue to pursue infrastructure modernization to streamline delivery of services.

These two large-scale efforts go hand-in-hand: improving infrastructure supports mission resilience, Zero Trust security, and energy optimization, while purpose-designed AI data centers capitalize on improved energy use and support scaling AI and analytics workloads while maintaining efficiency, sustainability, and compliance.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the roles of innovation and scalability in modernization and AI efforts, how they reinforce each other, and together advance the public sector goal of meeting and improving evolving mission demands.
