As federal agencies continue to modernize their technological infrastructure, securing the cloud remains a priority. Across government, innovative approaches and standards to cloud computing continue to develop, including the upcoming release of the Department of Homeland Security’s Trusted Internet Connection guidance (TIC 3.0), forthcoming FedRAMP automation, and, of course, the looming JEDI transition in the Department of Defense, to...

As many federal agencies move away from on-premise networks, they are often plunged straight into the exciting, but intimidating, world of future network architectures. This information technology transformation allows government to achieve mission success with more agility as well as analyze the increasing amounts of data. It is important that any agency's modernization roadmap considers how their network can handle the Internet of Things and...

In times of tumult, citizens and public servants alike find themselves turning to the government for guidance, leadership and services. But even during relative normalcy, daily government communications and operations require innovative thinking to provide public experiences to rival those in the private sector, not to mention the additional layer of creating agencies’ own frictionless internal experiences. In this digital event, hear fr...

America’s intelligence collectors are already using AI in ways big and small, to scan the news for dangerous developments, send alerts to ships about rapidly changing conditions, and speed up the NSA’s regulatory compliance efforts. But before the IC can use AI to its full potential, it must be hardened against attack. The humans who use it — analysts, policy-makers and leaders — must better understand how advanced AI...

To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been moved to online-only due to COVID-19 concerns. As many vital government services and data move online, the protection of government information and infrastructure from looming cyber-attacks is more important than ever before. Initiatives across Colorado, such as READYColorado and the National Cybersecurity Center, show that the best fortification strategy is developing a robust...

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. That means channeling artificial intelligence, machine learning and other emerging technologies to aid the special operations community when it comes to gathering and analyzing intelligence, enhancing cyber operations and transforming tools for soldiers. Tune in to the digital edition of Genius Mac...

Government is changing. New technologies such as artificial intelligence are shifting possibilities but old challenges, from cyber threats to an aging workforce, outdated technical infrastructure to an unwieldy budget process, remain. That’s why bold, innovative ideas have never been more important to delivering government’s essential mission. At BOLD GOV, Government Executive and Nextgov are teaming up to explore the powerful comb...

As the federal government shores up its systems and workforce, agencies must avoid defending against yesterday's cyber threats. New technology can make phishing attempts harder to detect and have users questioning the authenticity of data, images and information. To explore tomorrow’s technology and threats, Defense One and Nextgov are teaming up for the first-ever Cyber Summit on November 19 in Washington, DC. Join us to hear federal an...

The introduction of artificial intelligence and quantum computing have the potential to greatly strengthen the cybersecurity posture of federal and defense agencies across the public sector. But the same technologies will fundamentally upend the security status quo—from both an attacking and defending standpoint.This Nextgov viewcast will bring together top AI and quantum researchers and policy officials from civilian and military agenci...

IT modernization has never been more critical to supporting government’s mission, or more challenging. Although Congressional and executive mandates offer frameworks for technology leaders, agencies still face an uphill battle to aligning the technical infrastructure, funding mechanisms, and skilled workforce necessary to truly modernize government. At this half-day summit, Nextgov will explore these different elements of IT modernizati...
