In a time of rapid change spurred by AI, the federal conversation about cybersecurity is becoming less about individual technologies or modalities and more about operational effectiveness. Agencies have invested heavily in cybersecurity, yet many still struggle to answer critical questions quickly enough to reduce risk.

Meanwhile, security tools have multiplied faster than agencies’ ability to make coordinated trust decisions. The technology stack has evolved, but security decisions haven’t. Common frustrations include tools that don’t work together the way agencies’ missions do; more data available than ever but less confidence in making decisions; and security decisions that require too much manual coordination across disconnected systems.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify ways to make trust dynamic – responding in real time to real threats – rather than assume trust
• Outline methods to enable AI without creating security blind spots
• Review steps you can take to make faster, more confident security decisions for your agency, such as network segmentation/microsegmentation, using AI to control traffic flow to prevent data loss

Imagine what’s possible tomorrow, today.

Imagine for education, state, and local government is designed for leaders who are eager to learn how they can better achieve their institution or organizational mission, improve the efficiency and operations of their organization, and be inspired by the “art of the possible” through cloud and AI technology. Imagine is built around public sector leaders sharing real stories: what they did, what worked, and what they learned. Hundreds of state, local, and education leaders will be there exploring how AI and cloud technology is transforming the way agencies and institutions serve their communities, from enhancing constituent self-service experiences with intelligent chatbots, to automating document-heavy processes, to predicting student outcomes without writing code, to freeing up institutional resources through tools like AI-powered grant generators.

Bring what you learn on the main stage to life with hands-on, interactive demos with experts you won’t meet anywhere else. Think outside of what you’re doing today. How can AI-powered chat bots enhance constituent experience with improved, self-service access to information? When AI can extract, classify, and process data from documents, automating processes that traditionally rely on paper forms and records- what efficiencies will that allow your agency to explore? How can you utilize Amazon Sagemaker Canvas to predict student performance without writing any code? With a Grant Generator that creates a comprehensive outline that can be modified with ease, what resources does that free up for your educational institution? Dive in, look ahead.

The Office of the Chief Information Security Officer at the U.S. Department of Transportation is excited to announce the 10th Annual DOT Cybersecurity Symposium 2026.

This event will take place in person on September 22-24 at the DOT HQ. The purpose is to provide a forum where federal personnel can evaluate new technologies as well as company capabilities within an organized atmosphere.

The Symposium will include cyber training for personnel from the Department of Transportation along with other invited federal agencies.

Requested Exhibiting Technologies Include: Cloud security, Anomaly detection, Federated identity management, Moving devices to mobile platforms, BYOD, Security engineering and architecture, System security control, Network security management, Telecommunications security, Cyber risk management, Supply chain security, Phishing

Artificial intelligence is moving fast, and agencies are eager to take advantage of its potential. But as AI adoption grows, so do the challenges of securing users, data, applications, and autonomous agents. In this new environment, identity is no longer simply an access management tool. It's a critical component of mission resiliency.

Join us online on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT to hear government and industry experts from Okta’s Identity Summit as they discuss how agencies can build a secure foundation for AI adoption, manage machine and human identities at scale, and maintain trust across increasingly complex environments.

Join Okta, CrowdStrike, Zscaler and Rubrik for an exclusive event at F1 Arcade in Denver, designed for SLED cybersecurity and IT leaders. This interactive session will explore the evolving cyber threat landscape and how a unified approach across identity, endpoint, network and data protection can help organizations strengthen their security posture and better defend against modern attacks. 

Hear directly from security experts and current users as they discuss the challenges facing SLED organizations, lessons learned from emerging threats and how teams are evolving their strategies around Zero Trust, threat protection and cyber resilience.

Topics will include:

• Protecting identity as a critical line of defense
• Advancing Zero Trust access and secure connectivity
• Detecting and responding to evolving threats in real time
• Improving resilience and recovery from ransomware and data loss
• Building a more connected, modern approach to cybersecurity

The Nebraska Public Sector Cybersecurity & AI Summit is where government defends the future.

This public sector-focused event brings together IT security leaders, risk managers, and public officials to tackle the evolving cyber threats facing state and local government. Through expert-led sessions, peer exchange, and real-world case studies, attendees gain practical strategies to strengthen cyber resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and lead with confidence in an age of constant risk. Designed specifically for the public sector, this summit delivers insights you can act on and alliances you can trust!

As transit agencies and transportation organizations accelerate digital transformation, they face a growing wave of sophisticated cyber threats—many driven by AI technologies. From credential phishing to identity-based lateral movement across corporate networks and operational technology (OT), attackers are faster, stealthier and more coordinated than ever.

This event features a discussion around: 

• Strategies to protect passenger services and rider confidence while optimizing fleet management and transit operations.
• Real-life scenarios where AI-powered identity tools are used to detect and prevent sophisticated identity-based attacks before they breach critical operational networks.
• How to safeguard a distributed operational workforce—ensuring a secure user experience for dispatchers, drivers, contractors and administrative staff while enhancing threat detection and response.

This webinar is a valuable opportunity to see how Okta's AI-powered identity security helps transit and transportation organizations stay ahead of fast-moving cyber threats.
