Upcoming Elastic Events
State and local governments are facing increasingly complex cyber threats, limited resources and growing pressure to modernize security operations. With agencies operating across fragmented environments, gaining the visibility and coordination needed to detect and respond to threats can be challenging.
Join Elastic and TrueZero Technologies for part 3 of their webinar series exploring how a Whole-of-State cyber defense framework helps state and local organizations move to a unified, resilient defense posture.
On September 22nd, attendees will learn how to:
- Strengthen visibility: Unify security data for greater threat awareness
- Accelerate investigations: Use AI to detect threats and streamline response
- Scale security AI: Apply AI-driven tools to strengthen cyber resilience
Register now to explore the blueprint for scaling Whole-of-State security with AI-powered analytics.

Colleges and universities must protect open networks, unmanaged devices, sensitive student information, valuable research, and critical digital services. Yet many campus security teams begin each day facing hundreds — or thousands — of alerts spread across disconnected security tools. Analysts spend valuable time gathering evidence and reconstructing incidents while attackers are already moving through the environment.
The answer to these challenges lies in an agentic security operations center (SOC), which creates a fundamentally different operating model for higher education cybersecurity. AI agents can gather evidence, correlate signals, reconstruct attack timelines, prioritize threats and recommend response actions — turning fragmented alerts into evidence-backed cases ready for analyst judgment.
Join us to learn more about how agentic SOCs are transforming higher education cybersecurity. We will share lessons from higher education deployments, including how the Texas A&M University has protected distributed infrastructure and reclaimed approximately 100 hours of analyst time through security workflow automation.
Why attend:
- See how AI agents automate investigation and turn alerts into prioritized, evidence-backed threat cases
- Learn why connected security data is essential for faster detection, investigation and response
- Discover practical approaches for expanding SOC capacity without adding headcount

When critical services go down, logs alone rarely tell the whole story. Public sector teams are often left piecing together context across disconnected tools and data silos and rising costs are forcing harder trade-offs on what data to retain and where to accept gaps in visibility. Join Elastic for a two-part webinar series built for Federal IT Agencies. Session 1 | October 15 M-26-14 and the Case for Unified Observability in Federal Environments The M-26-14 memorandum sets clear expectations for agency logging and network visibility, but meeting those requirements is harder when your telemetry is fragmented across disconnected tools and data silos. Attendees will learn how to:

Join us for FedTalks 2026 in Washington, D.C. Hosted by FedScoop, FedTalks is the largest annual gathering of C-level executives, leaders and innovators from the government and tech communities. Now in its 16th year, FedTalks brings together more than 1,000 of the country’s most influential leaders for one day of discussion, exploring ways technology and people can transform government and our nation.
The need for this summit has never been more urgent. Four major Chinese state-sponsored APT groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Brass Typhoon—are already targeting and embedding themselves inside U.S. critical infrastructure networks. With over 80% of critical infrastructure privately owned, cyber threats in these sectors pose national risks, and defending them requires unified, real-time collaboration between sectors, private companies and federal, state, and local governments.
Billington will once again bring together the most senior leaders across government, industry, and investment to discuss ways to strengthen defenses, build resilience, and deter adversaries who fully understand how a single weakness can cascade across the entire economy.
When and where will the Billington Critical Infrastructure CyberSecurity Summit take place?
November 17–18, 2026
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
900 E. Market Street
San Antonio, Texas 78205
San Antonio—home to Sixteenth Air Force (Air Forces Cyber), NSA Texas, the landmark Texas Cyber Command, and a growing ecosystem of critical infrastructure innovators—provides the ideal backdrop for this high-stakes gathering.
What is the theme/purpose of the event?
Securing Lifeline Sectors
Energy • Communications • Transport • Water
The interdependencies of these four sectors shape the stability of every government agency, industry, and community. A disruption in any one sector, likewise, can produce cascading effects across the entire critical infrastructure ecosystem.
This summit is designed for those who refuse to wait for that moment to arrive.
