Zero Trust, High Confidence: AI & Data Protection Roundtable

Join us for this in-person roundtable, which brings together public sector IT and security leaders to discuss practical approaches for reducing cyber risk across critical systems and data, while ensuring rapid, reliable recovery when incidents occur.

Register today to secure your seat and hear experts from Okta, Druva, Zscaler, Dell Technologies, Carahsoft Technology Corp. and Index Engines share insights on the current threat landscape and lead an interactive discussion on how public sector organizations can:

  • Strengthen security controls to reduce the attack surface and limit entry points.

  • Identify vulnerabilities, intrusions and insider threats earlier to minimize disruption.

  • Speed up recovery of systems and data to reduce downtime, protect mission-critical services and prevent data loss.

This session is designed as a collaborative, peer-to-peer discussion rather than a lecture, giving you the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow leaders while gaining practical strategies and real-world examples. Save your spot to join the conversation and walk away with actionable next steps you can bring back to your agency or institution.
