The annual Defense One Tech Summit brings together senior defense leaders and innovators from across the services and combatant commands to examine how the Pentagon is building, scaling, and governing these critical technologies. Discussions will explore enterprise AI and data infrastructure, distributed and tactical intelligence, real-world autonomous operations, autocratic approaches to AI, startup-driven innovation, and the convergence of space, missile defense, and nuclear deterrence. Together, these conversations will highlight how the U.S. can move faster from prototype to production, identify remaining barriers, and better align government and industry to compete and win in an era of accelerating technological competition.
Managing student and staff access across dozens of apps, devices, and platforms is one of the most complex — and often overlooked — challenges facing K-12 IT teams today. This session breaks down identity orchestration into a practical six-layer framework, showing district leaders exactly how their portal, single sign-on, authentication, provisioning, rostering, and applications should work together — and where gaps in that system create real risk for students and staff. You'll walk away with concrete steps you can bring back to your team immediately, whether you're cleaning up an environment that's grown organically or building a stronger foundation for your district's next technology initiative.
Key takeaways:
A plain-language breakdown of the six layers of identity infrastructure and how to spot where your district's setup may be falling short
Why device management is a missing piece in most districts' identity strategy — and what it takes to close that security gap
A practical checklist for identifying access failures, deprovisioning risks, and cybersecurity exposure points in your current environment — with clear next steps for each
