How might we implement the Integrated Value Network (IVN) framework in the wild? Our first challenge is to communicate what data is available and how it answers basic questions; we will do this by addressing key themes from the January kickoff survey. Hear from invited panelists as they discuss their use cases to address policy challenges using this “Moneyball” approach. We invite attendees to share their ideas and implementation o...

In today’s hyperconnected world, where cyber threats evolve rapidly and cyber criminals operate with heightened speed and flexibility, staying ahead of these risks is paramount. Your security teams need to be equally agile and well-prepared. Join ATARC alongside government and industry experts for a comprehensive discussion on the latest threat vectors impacting agency infrastructures. Discover insights into how cloud-native security sol...

Eight years ago, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public process to select quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms for standardization. NIST issued the public call for submissions to the PQC Standardization Process in December 2016 and, after three rounds of evaluation and analysis, selected four algorithms for standardization: CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+. In this...

Navigating the Landscape of Decision Advantage: Dive into a discussion with experts on how the fusion of Decision Intelligence and Decision Support empowers decision-makers, offering insights into resolving crises and strategically leveraging national power to gain a decision advantage in complex scenarios.

Quantum technology has emerged as a transformative force with the potential to revolutionize various sectors, including the public sector. However, understanding its implications and applications can often seem daunting due to its complex nature. This panel aims to demystify quantum technology, breaking down its fundamental concepts and exploring its practical applications within the public sector. Through insightful discussions and real-world...

The anticipated applications of quantum computers span across science and industry, ranging from quantum chemistry and many-body physics to optimization, finance, and machine learning. Proposed quantum solutions in these areas typically combine multiple quantum algorithmic primitives into an overall quantum algorithm, which must then incorporate the methods of quantum error correction and fault tolerance to be implemented correctly on quantum...
