Join Rubrik and Carahsoft for an inside look at how to stay ahead of today’s most advanced Microsoft 365 SaaS platform threats. As M365 and GWS become the backbone of State and Local and Education (SLED) organizations, attackers are increasingly targeting identities and endpoints, making traditional protection strategies no longer enough.

Save your seat and join us live to discover how modern attacks move across users, devices and data as well as what it takes to stop them in their tracks.

In this session, attendees will learn how:

• Attackers exploit identities and endpoints to wreak havoc in SaaS platforms like M365 & GWS.
• To detect and contain threats before they spread.
• To achieve fast, clean recovery after an attack.

In 2026, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies will face an unprecedented and ongoing wave of  high-profile events that will test the limits of public safety efforts.

From the FIFA World Cup across 16 North American cities to the year-long America250 Semiquincentennial celebrations and the midterm elections, these events will draw millions of participants and global attention. This situation will create complex security challenges due to geographic spread, long durations, and the ongoing threat of advanced cyber campaigns and lone-wolf attacks. 

This year’s Law Enforcement and Public Safety (LEAPS) Technology Forum will focus on Operational Readiness 2026: Tech Strategies for Large-Scale Security Challenges. The conference provides a vital platform to explore how emerging technologies can significantly improve law enforcement readiness and response to this unique threat environment. Specific, actionable topics will include: 

• Integrated Intelligence Platforms: Enabling true interoperability among fusion centers, joint operation centers, and an international police coordination hub for real-time information sharing across federal, state, and local partners. 

• Counter-UAS (Drone) Technologies: Implementing layered C-UAS mitigation strategies to protect stadiums, parade routes, and critical infrastructure. 

• Cybersecurity Innovations and AI Defense: Protecting election systems and event networks from AI-accelerated attacks and ensuring the integrity of critical law enforcement communications. 

• Advanced Analytics and AI: Utilizing machine learning for real-time behavioral analysis, accurate crowd modeling, and optimizing resource deployment across vast urban zones. 

• Secure Communications and Interoperability: Establishing resilient, multi-band communications infrastructure for seamless command and control during National Special Security Events (NSSEs). 

• Digital Forensics and Disinformation Response: Implementing proactive strategies to fight online radicalization, deepfakes, and uphold election integrity.  

Join us at the 18th annual LEAPS Technology Forum. Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging technology for proactive risk management, rapid incident response, and public trust building in an era of evolving threats. With billions of dollars in federal investment now earmarked for security and technology modernization, this is the critical moment to align strategies, share best practices, and establish the united framework that will secure the year ahead and permanently redefine the future of public safety. 

This event will be a hybrid event consisting of vendor demonstrations and speaking sessions. The demos will be applicable to the Cybersecurity session topics. It will be promoted internally to the EXIM population and the Department of VA employees located at this location and across the street at the main VA HQ will also be invited.
