Mission Ready: Rethinking Risks at High-Profile Events
Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 1 Hour
Major, globally visible events—such as the World Cup or Olympic Games—fundamentally change how cyber-physical risk must be identified and prioritized. Events such as these usually are designated as National Special Security Events (NSSEs), based on factors like national significance, projected attendance, and potential threat levels, with the U.S. Secret Service leading security operations.
Cyber-physical risk is the potential for cyberattacks on networked systems—such as IoT devices, industrial control systems, or medical equipment—to cause real-world damage, including physical injury, environmental catastrophes, or destruction of infrastructure. These risks occur at the intersection of digital, networked software and physical, mechanical processes. NSSEs increase the potential for attacks on such devices as credential readers, environmental control systems (heating, cooling, and water), and hospitals near the events.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how organizations can prepare to support a major event by identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing cyber-physical risks pertaining to operational technologies (OT) deployed for the event.
Trust at Machine Speed: Rethinking Cybersecurity for the AI Era
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 | 1 Hour
In a time of rapid change spurred by AI, the federal conversation about cybersecurity is becoming less about individual technologies or modalities and more about operational effectiveness. Agencies have invested heavily in cybersecurity, yet many still struggle to answer critical questions quickly enough to reduce risk.
Meanwhile, security tools have multiplied faster than agencies' ability to make coordinated trust decisions. The technology stack has evolved, but security decisions haven’t. Common frustrations include tools that don’t work together the way agencies’ missions do; more data available than ever but less confidence in making decisions; and security decisions that require too much manual coordination across disconnected systems.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how agencies are moving beyond static security controls to continuously evaluate users, devices, workloads, and applications as missions become more distributed and AI changes both the threat landscape and the pace of decision-making.
Anticipating Trouble: Mapping Dependencies & Challenging Assumptions
Friday, September 18, 2026 | 1 Hour
After the hard work of assessing cyber-physical risks in advance of National Special Security Events (NSSEs) such as the Olympics or World Cup, the next step is discussing systemic vulnerabilities and planning for blind spots. Every major event runs on a complex, interconnected web of systems, yet the full chain of critical dependencies is rarely mapped and tested.
This session explores complex “what if” scenarios that challenged common assumptions underlying security and resilience planning, with a particular focus on limited visibility into the operational technology (OT) environments connected to IT systems.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share how they approach mapping dependencies, looking for unsuspected connections, and work to avoid making assumptions about roles and responsibilities.
Moving at the Speed of a Crisis: Integrated Incident Response & Recovery
Friday, September 25, 2026 | 1 Hour
This panel focuses on the moment of truth: coordinated, rapid, and effective response when the inevitable occurs. When a cyber intrusion escalates into a kinetic crisis—disrupting power, transportation, or public safety at a major event—a unified, cross-domain response is essential.
This panel shifts the focus from prevention to action, examining the operational, policy, and political dimensions of managing a catastrophic incident:
Breaking the Silos: Building a Secure Foundation for Government AI
Monday, September 28, 2026 | 1 Hour
The federal mandate for AI integration is an active operational requirement, but rushing to deploy advanced algorithms within a fragmented legacy IT infrastructure creates profound systemic risks, data leakage vectors, and governance vulnerabilities.
Agencies, both at the federal level and in state and local government, carry the burden of data silos, legacy hardware, and a highly distributed workforce, which combine to create severe risk profiles – such as the accidental exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how to move from silos – siloed teams, siloed tools, siloed data, siloed environments – to structured frameworks that modernize infrastructure, build data governance, eradicate shadow AI, and scale safely toward autonomous systems, eliminating blind spots and providing end-to-end observability.
The Search for Open Source Hardware
Friday, October 2, 2026 | 1 Hour
OCUDU (Open Centralized Unit/Distributed Unit) is a collaborative initiative and open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of 5G and 6G Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN). It provides a common, carrier-grade, open-source software foundation for the CU and DU layers, which are critical components of radio access networks.
The intent of OCUDU is to break vendor lock-in and accelerate the transition from proprietary, hardware-locked RAN systems to software-defined, open ecosystems. It is considered an essential building block to prepare for a 6G-enabled world. The General Services Administration reported last year that the target for establishing 6G as the commercial standard is 2030, because it will require research, innovation, and international agreement on new interoperability standards.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights into the opportunities and technical advancements being explored to facilitate 6G.
Defending State & Local Infrastructure: From Water Attacks to Grid Resilience
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 | 1 Hour
Recent compromises of municipal water systems, including attacks targeting internet-connected programmable logic controllers and remote cellular modems, have highlighted the evolving cyberthreat landscape facing state and local utilities. Similar risks extend across operational technology environments supporting water, power and other essential public services.
Protecting these systems requires more than securing individual devices or networks. A defense-in-depth approach can help utilities control interactions across converged IT and operational technology environments, limit lateral movement and prevent a compromise in one system from spreading to other mission-critical technology.
Join us as government and industry experts discuss how state and local utilities can strengthen infrastructure resilience, improve visibility across interconnected IT and OT environments and contain cyberthreats before they disrupt essential services.
Scaling AI Across the Enterprise
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 | 1.5 Hours
AI Forward Series: From Pilot Programs to Real Government Operations
AI success is often isolated, limited to pilot efforts that tackle one specific challenge or workflow. AI pilots are most focused on getting the technology right; implementing an enterprisewide AI strategy requires alignment across leadership, workforce, procurement, and mission teams, though definitions of success, ownership, and ROI remain unclear.
How agencies can move beyond the isolated success in a pilot and achieve similar results across their organizations is more a strategic challenge than a technical one. It requires shifting from a use case to capability, from technology experiment to an operational effort, by prioritizing scalable infrastructure, robust data governance, and change management.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights on automating deployment, integrating with existing workflows rather than creating standalone tools, and ensuring clear executive sponsorship and workforce buy-in to manage organizational change.
Turning Mobile Devices into Radar
Friday, October 9, 2026 | 1 Hour
Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is a 6G technology that enables wireless networks to simultaneously transmit data and detect objects, essentially turning mobile networks into radar networks.
ISAC uses shared radio signals, infrastructure, and hardware to track, locate, and image objects in real-time, improving network efficiency and enabling new, high-precision services. It reduces hardware costs and saves spectrum resources by consolidating functions. It is considered a cornerstone of 6G, enabling faster, more reliable communication.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss ISAC, its role in 6G and how agencies can prepare to capitalize on its benefits.
Maximizing 5G While Waiting for 6G – the Role of AI
Friday, October 16, 2026 | 1 Hour
Today’s advanced 5G networks are the essential first step to create an intelligent digital fabric. They provide higher upload speeds and open network interfaces for developers to use. They also make networks more programmable and easier to automate.
While the future may be 6G, investments made today into building out 5G and 5G standalone (5G SA) networks will not be stranded; they enable AI apps today and will be incorporated into the rollout of 6G tomorrow.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights about utilizing AI in 5G/5G SA networks and the steps you can take to prepare a 6G framework for AI apps your agency uses.
Managing Risk & Securing AI Systems
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 | 1.5 Hours
AI Forward Series: From Pilot Programs to Real Government Operations
AI introduces new vulnerabilities – such as data leakage, model manipulation, and uncontrolled access – even as agencies are still figuring out how existing risk and security frameworks apply. Recent news articles have reported that Anthropic’s newest AI model, Mythos, found 2,000 vulnerabilities in just seven weeks of testing commercially available software; Mozilla, for instance, reported Mythos identified 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150. There have been instances where security teams are pulled in late and asked to “make it safe” after deployment decisions are already underway.
There are cybersecurity constructs in place that can help control access to AI tools and data. For example, the Zero Trust mandate already in place – “never trust, always verify” – strengthens requirements for access. Having an “identity-first” security structure can minimize the risks associated with AI adoption.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss their experiences adapting risk management and cybersecurity measures at their agencies to enable the use of AI while protecting against the new vulnerabilities it opens.
Modernizing Endpoint Security and Service Delivery Today
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | 1.5 Hours
Public sector organizations are operating in an increasingly complex environment shaped by evolving cyber threats, aging infrastructure, workforce shortages and growing expectations for modern digital services.
AI-driven attacks are expanding the threat landscape while legacy systems and fragmented data make it harder for agencies and institutions to respond quickly. At the same time, constituents, staff and students expect faster, more intuitive services similar to what they experience in the private sector.
To keep pace, government and education organizations are modernizing IT operations, strengthening endpoint security and adopting automation and AI to improve both cybersecurity and service delivery.
The Ivanti Public Sector Summit brings together leaders from federal, defense, state and local government, education and industry to discuss practical strategies for securing endpoints, modernizing IT service management and delivering trusted digital services.
Mission Ready, Secure Everywhere: From Enterprise to the Edge
Thursday, August 27, 2026 | 1 Hour
Military units often operate in austere environments, far from the secure cloud networks and multilayered cyber defenses of a traditional headquarters. Tasked with no-fail missions, these units depend on constant, secure access to their most critical resource: the network. The Zero Trust principle of “never trust, always verify” – controlling who can access what and limiting lateral (east-west) movement between applications – is both Government-mandated and mission-critical.
Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) provides the foundation for Zero Trust through continuous identity and access verification. In disconnected and air-gapped scenarios (DDIL), missions must still proceed during disruption from weather, terrain, and adversary activity. A robust ICAM solution bridges the gap between high-level enterprise security and the tactical edge by planning for network loss with pre-synchronization and re-synchronization techniques.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the role of Zero Trust network access to enable fine-grained access control to critical mission-related applications in any environment.
Mission AI at the Edge: Equipped, Not Disconnected
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 | 1 Hour
Getting new capability into the field shouldn't take years. When the mission demands change, organizations need solutions that can be deployed quickly and perform in real operational environments, even when connectivity is limited.
The U.S. military is learning what changes after a capability is fielded, from faster mission workflows to more reliable operations, and how those lessons can inform future deployments. The U.S. Army staged Project Convergence-Capstone 6 (PCC6) in late July to rigorously experiment with future technologies by significantly expanding the scope, scale and complexity of operations tested in earlier exercises.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their experiences in turning funded requirements into operational capabilities within existing budget frameworks, then scaling those capabilities across forces.
AI-Driven Automation & Modernization of Agency Operations
Thursday, August 20, 2026 | 1 Hour
At its annual conference in October 2025, the National Association of State CIOs (NASCIO) focused on "measurable modernization" facilitated by artificial intelligence (AI). Intelligent, AI-powered tools can streamline IT, converting slow, manual legacy system upgrades into faster, cheaper, and more secure processes by automating code analysis, testing, data migration, and even generating code, ultimately making systems more efficient, scalable, and future-proof while freeing humans for higher-value tasks.
There are several ways AI is suited to improve operations. To name just a few:
- By analyzing legacy code, such as COBOL, to understand its structure, find inefficiencies and even rewrite it into modern coding languages, AI reduces legacy debt and eases manpower needs for obsolete coding skills.
- AI tools can automate testing and quality controls, significantly speeding up quality assurance and moving apps to more easily supported operations.
- Using AI can generate predictive maintenance, identifying potential system failures and enabling self-healing capabilities.
Using AI for Cybersecurity & Threat Defense
Wednesday, August 19, 2026 | 1 Hour
It is widely recognized that the introduction of AI tools is a two-edged sword when it comes to cybersecurity. Attackers, whether profit-driven hackers or hostile nation-states, are using AI to launch faster, wider-spread and more sophisticated attacks, including AI-generated phishing and spear phishing emails, malware capable of adapting to changes in defensive responses, and deepfakes that are very hard to detect.
State and local agencies are attractive targets, since there are many more of them and often do not have the financial or IT resources of federal agencies.
This makes state and local agencies’ use of AI in cyber defense critical – AI tools can operate at machine speed and scale and adapt in response to evolving threats. These tools can significantly improve threat detection and intelligence by identifying anomalies and patterns signaling attacks under way; automating incident responses such as isolating compromised devices and resetting credentials; using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to flag sophisticated phishing and social engineering attacks; and prioritizing vulnerabilities to emphasize the most critical risks.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights on ways to make use of AI to improve agencies’ cybersecurity and respond to incursions.
Using AI Platforms for Governance & Compliance
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 | 1 Hour
State and local agencies are exploring how to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations – as long as they observe their own state-level and any applicable federal-level regulations.
To meet these requirements, AI governance and compliance platforms help organizations manage, monitor, and enforce policies for safe, ethical, and legal use of AI, covering the entire lifecycle from development to deployment, by automating risk assessment, bias detection, and access control. These platforms centralize control, provide transparency, track data lineage, and automate auditing to build trust and prevent issues like unfair outcomes or data breaches.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their views on the use of AI governance and compliance platforms and how they contribute to the effective use of AI in everything from streamlining operations to enhancing protection against risks.
Cyber Defense in the AI Era
Thursday, August 13, 2026 | 1 Hour
There is widespread recognition in federal agencies that they face increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats. At the same time, agencies must also contend with evolving compliance mandates and shrinking budgets.
To simultaneously protect missions, ensure compliance, and align with federal efficiency and budget goals, agencies need to adopt modern, compliance-aligned endpoint detection and response (EDR) security strategies that enable full, real-time endpoint visibility while reducing false positives and preventing cost creep.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights in confronting AI-powered threats and how EDR technology is providing strong protection while observing both compliance requirements and budgetary constraints.
Data Readiness, Governance & Trusted AI
Weds., August 12, 2026 | 1.5 Hours
AI Forward Series: From Pilot Programs to Real Government Operations
As agencies move to implement AI throughout their organizations, most are finding their AI efforts disrupted by fragmented, low-quality, or inaccessible data. This is a problem government shares with the private sector - a recent survey found that 79% of respondents said their AI initiatives are being hindered by limited access to data across environments.
These are not new problems for the government. There are still issues with data fragmentation and silos, poor data quality, complexities in applying governance and security requirements, and technical debt – legacy systems aren’t designed for modern analytics needs. And. of course, the pace of data generation continues to accelerate, adding to the pressure to clean and restructure massive numbers of datasets. That recent survey found that 60% of AI projects may be abandoned due to poor data readiness.
Join us as thought leaders in government and industry discuss their experiences addressing data readiness, the tradeoffs between speed and control, their data ownership and governance challenges, and their first-hand experience balancing policy expectations with the reality of “trusted AI.”
AI in Action: The Right Use Cases for Every Stage of Government AI Adoption
Tuesday, August 11, 2026 | 1 Hour
State and local governments are embracing AI at different speeds and with varying levels of maturity. Massachusetts, for example, has implemented ChatGPT across its entire state government workforce, providing training in its use, outreach and engagement to answer workers’ questions, while making its use voluntary.
State government employees across the country are using AI for numerous applications, without going as far as Massachusetts. Many are using AI to search complex state policies and procedures quickly. Some agencies are using it for communications support, such as drafting high-volume resident replies and translating public announcements.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry explore the highest-impact AI use cases across the AI adoption journey, from individual productivity tools to resident service delivery, workflow automation, and agentic experiences. This session will provide practical insights into which use cases deliver value at each stage of adoption and what is required to scale AI responsibly across people, processes, data, and governance.
Bringing Cybersecurity Up to Speed in the Age of Agentic AI
Tuesday, August 4, 2026 | 1 Hour
Cyber attacks and data breaches are on the rise and continue to pose serious threats to our digital economy. Many are aware of cyber threats from human sources, but not many are talking about the security threat posed with unmanaged autonomous AI agents.
In response, state and local agencies are looking to incorporate controls for AI into their cybersecurity measures.
According to the Code for America assessment, almost all 50 states have initiated pilot programs for a wide range of programs, with leaders like New Jersey and Pennsylvania operating AI at scale. But those governments continue to grapple with legacy system modernization and data cleanup, which are critical to ensure AI tools function securely and accurately without exposing siloed information.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their insights in confronting AI-powered threats by seeking to harness AI tools into their existing and future cybersecurity programs.
Beyond AI Pilots: Scaling for Mission Impact
Wednesday, July 29, 2026 | 1 Hour
Federal agencies have largely moved beyond asking whether AI works. The challenge now is determining how to deploy the right AI capabilities in the right places to accelerate mission outcomes while navigating the realities of procurement, governance, workforce readiness, and operational complexity.
New research reveals that while agencies are confident in AI's potential, many still face significant delays moving from pilot to production and struggle to measure success beyond technical implementation. The primary bottleneck is rarely the AI model itself; rather, it is fragmented data infrastructures, misaligned organizational workflows, and a lack of rigorous, enterprise-grade governance. For instance, pilots often use small, immaculately cleaned, and curated datasets. In contrast, live production environments contain messy, fragmented, and siloed data across legacy systems. When models hit this noisy real-world data, accuracy plummets.
Join us as agency and industry thought leaders discuss how organizations across homeland security, defense, personnel and identity management, and national security missions are moving beyond experimentation to operational impact. Learn how mission-centric AI strategies can help agencies align technology investments with mission priorities, modernize delivery models, overcome execution barriers, and define success through measurable mission outcomes—not just AI adoption.
Doing More with Less: How AI is Transforming City & County Operations
Thursday, July 23, 2026 | 1 Hour
City and county governments across the country are facing tighter budgets. Accompanying the financial pressures, these smaller government entities are facing rising service demands and trying to cope with chronic staffing shortages. In this turbulent landscape, agentic AI offers a way to improve services, cut legacy IT debt, and provide assistance to overwhelmed employees.
Counties and cities already use AI to improve public safety, optimize urban planning and transportation, and streamline internal operations. Using pilot programs, they can experiment with AI-generated public agents to identify constituent-facing solutions and scale them as needed.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry share their experiences in using agentic AI at the city and county level to provide better services while working within strict resource constraints.
The Modern Government Legal Office: AI, Case Management & What’s Next
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 | 1 Hour
Government legal departments, at the state, provincial, and local levels across US and Canada, have shown interest but slow adoption in leveraging legal AI. Meanwhile private sector law firms are rapidly integrating AI in all areas of their business and practice.
Not only is this going to impact legal work within government departments, but it's also going to impact job satisfaction and hiring as the work experience for attorneys widens between the private and public sector. Public sector legal professionals... greater responsiveness and measurable outcomes, but without given the tools to support this.
In addition to implementing AI, government departments are looking for ways to centralize case management. From matter intake and case management to document review, court scheduling, and secure communications, the right case management tools can securely coordinate agency data. Robust time-tracking and resource reporting allows agencies to justify budgets and track the efficiency of public spend. Integrated legal AI supports critical decision-making and accelerates routine analysis. This allows staff to focus on substantive legal work rather than administrative data entry, while maintaining rigorous standards for data accuracy.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how modernizing their legal offices’ tech stack and implementing AI-powered case management have streamlined output, saved scarce resources and budgets, and improved outcomes.
