Maintaining Uninterrupted Operations

U.S. federal agencies manage a broad array of tasks that touch virtually every aspect of Americans’ lives. Civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies are all currently facing requirements to modernize their systems, aimed at providing better user experience and fulfilling their agency’s mission.

Agencies today are navigating a constant stream of change, whether that’s modernizing infrastructure, rethinking virtualization, adopting cloud, defending against evolving cyber threats, or figuring out how to safely operationalize AI. The challenge is twofold: recovering from disruption you can’t prevent while enabling change without creating disruption in the first place.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand operational resilience for organizations navigating infrastructure modernization, virtualization change, cloud adoption, evolving cyber threats, and emerging AI risks.
• Understand how application-centric protection supports the rapid, automated, and orchestrated recovery of mission-critical services while minimizing data loss.
• Evaluate the importance of non-disruptive testing and multi-site analytics and reporting, to ensure readiness for real-world scenarios like cloud adoption, natural disasters, coordinated cyberattacks, and data migrations.
• Explore how agencies can identify and recover from unintended actions by AI agents while maintaining operational control.
