In the digital age, government agencies face increasing threats from spyware that can compromise sensitive information and undermine national security. To combat this, many government organizations are taking proactive measures by implementing executive orders and directives to ban specific applications on their mobile devices. However, this approach presents challenges in terms of scalability, visibility, and keeping up with rapidly evolving...

As quantum computer research continues to advance rapidly, there are advances at all the levels of the quantum computer system stack: from designs of physical qubits to architectures of networked-connected quantum computers. In particular, more and more of quantum computers are becoming available as cloud-based services through IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket, Microsoft Azure, and others. These deployments make quantum computers more easily accessi...

Google Quantum AI aims to build a useful quantum computer, and to identify impactful, societally beneficial applications for our quantum computers. In this talk, Kate will share more about the team’s roadmap and recent progress, including reaching their second major milestone: the first experimental demonstration that it is possible to scale quantum error correction, using it to improve performance with increasing qubit number. Bio: Kate...

Federal agencies must undergo the complex and laborious process of security authorization to operate (ATO) for each information system (IS) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). Currently, most agencies rely on manual documentation processes. These include popular productivity tools to capture the applicable security controls and the status/plans of implementation of the controls for each IS as well as...

Today’s cybersecurity threat landscape means Federal professionals must take a proactive and practical approach to defending agency personnel, systems, networks, and data. IT infrastructures need resiliency that is built in, understood by the workforce, and prepared to work beyond the next threat. Creating a resilient IT architecture is not an admission of anticipated defeat. Rather, it’s insurance against probable events and incid...

To advance Zero Trust mandates, federal IT leaders need an accurate, trusted, and complete picture of their entire IT estate. Attend this webinar to learn how your agency can better comply with OMB’s January 2022 memo, M-22-09, Moving the U.S. Government Toward Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles. Attendees will hear how to develop a real-time situational awareness and understanding of everything on their networks, whether they are based...

The Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT) is an NSF-funded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) and a partnership between Purdue University, Indiana University, and the University of Notre Dame, and also several industry and government members. The mission of the CQT is to collaborate with industry and government stakeholders to identify compelling needs and challenges in quantum technologies, and then develop novel solution...

Join our thought leadership webinar to learn about the current operational challenges that federal agencies face on their journey to cATO and how to address them effectively. In this session, we’ll delve into the common challenges of proving compliance, vulnerability management and reporting, and assessing control effectiveness. We’ll provide real examples into best practices to address those challenges. Our panel of experts will p...

Join us as we discuss how multimodal Conversational AI can help government organizations enable immediate access and navigation of complex information. We will explore ways in which Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Large Language Models can be leveraged to deliver human-like conversational experiences for citizens and public sector employees. Hear from experts about the value of using Conversational AI within government agenc...

The Quantum Science Center (QSC) is a national quantum information science research center sponsored by the Department of Energy to overcome the key challenges facing the development of scalable quantum technologies. This talk will highlight accomplishments from the QSC partnership of 16 institutions working toward three scientific goals: (1) accelerating quantum information processing through new qubit and device designs, (2) creating predict...
