No matter how quickly technology has changed over the past few decades, nothing matches the speed with which AI has begun to transform how agencies operate. In response to the changing landscape, in October 2023, the Biden administration released two frameworks, the Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence and the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Blueprint for an AI Bill...

Critical infrastructure services in North America face accelerating threats from both nation-states and other sophisticated threat actors. Governments globally are grappling with how to best balance incentives, support, and direct oversight. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure owners and operators face significant challenges with technology, staff resources, and expertise to better manage cyber resilience. For instance, the healthcare industry...

The federal government has been proactive in continuity of operations (COOP ) planning since at least the 1950s, when President Eisenhower issued executive orders directing various measures agencies should take to be prepared for a possible nuclear war. The need for COOP leads naturally to the question of resilience – how quickly agencies can recover from events beyond their control. Climate change is a slow-moving tsunami of many smalle...

Federal agencies have been mandated to migrate to IPv6; the mandate requires at least 20% of IP-enabled assets on agencies’ networks operate in IPv6-only environments by the end of FY 2023. Join us for the last of the quarterly sessions as thought leaders from government and industry share real-world examples and lessons learned in working to meet this mandate over the past year. We’ll Discuss: Review the progress made by agencies...

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law in November 2021, will unleash a flood of funding for a vast array of construction projects, including electric grid and energy improvements, roads and bridges, public transit, and water systems to name just a few. It is worth celebrating that so much will be repaired, replaced, or new-built. It also highlights a new opportunity to bring digitization to the construction industry, brin...

As 2021 kicks into gear, much of the digital transformation efforts from 2020 will continue to be vital. Government is becoming people-centric, efficient, and maybe most of all, resilient. Without automation, government can become over-reliance on cumbersome, manual, error-prone processes that overwhelm public sector employees and frustrate citizens. Technological innovation to keep up with the demands of citizens and continue to engage with c...

The rapid and virtually total telework environment that has been spurred by the pandemic forced many organizations to focus anew on the challenges of identity management and governance. In the energy sector, regulations abound to protect privacy, prevent fraud and effectively manage risk. Identity management is of particular concern to CIOs, CISOs and other security and risk personnel. Employees and contractors require access to strategic appl...

Technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation are revolutionizing the way that government works. Lack of resources across state and local governments coupled with increasing citizen demands for digital service delivery are driving agencies to tap powerful new capabilities in areas as diverse as infrastructure, call centers, cybersecurity, and health care. Join us to explore the nuts and bolts of th...

Technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotic processing offer the potential to fundamentally change the way that government works. Lack of resources across state and local governments coupled with increasing citizen demands for digital service delivery are driving agencies to tap powerful new capabilities in areas as diverse as infrastructure, call centers, cybersecurity, and health care.Not only do these technologie...
