The New York City Public Sector Cybersecurity 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!

Open to Public Sector only.

Federal mandates are reshaping how agencies manage risk, visibility, and operational readiness. The SAMOSA Act (H.R. 5457) demands a complete and trustworthy software inventory, while CISA’s Binding Operational Directive 26‑04 compresses patch timelines to as little as 72 hours. Together, they expose a critical reality: agencies cannot meet modern requirements with inaccurate endpoint data or slow, lab‑dependent patch processes.

This program will bring clarity to the two capabilities every agency must modernize before 2027: endpoint truth and patch velocity. Attendees will learn why software inventories continue to fail despite a decade of policy, how broken endpoint data leads directly to compliance gaps and missed remediation deadlines, and why traditional patch testing cannot keep pace with risk‑based timelines. We’ll examine how evidence‑driven approaches powered by large‑scale telemetry and AI normalization allow agencies to patch faster and safer, while feeding the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with accurate, normalized data from the moment of collection.

What you will learn:

• The Anatomy of a 72-Hour Patch Cycle: How to move past slow, lab-bound testing environments to meet aggressive new CISA timelines safely.
• Achieving Endpoint Truth: How evidence-driven approaches powered by large-scale telemetry and AI normalization eliminate inaccurate targeting and reporting.
• Fixing the CMDB: Best practices for feeding your Configuration Management Database with accurate, normalized data from the moment of collection.
• Zero Trust Alignment: How to dramatically strengthen the device & network pillars of zero trust within your existing budget constraints.

Whether you’re responsible for cyber operations, asset management, compliance, or modernization strategy, this session will show how agencies can finally achieve reliable inventories, meet aggressive patch deadlines, and strengthen the device pillar of zero trust all while reducing budgets and timelines.

Recent executive orders put new focus on secure AI adoption, quantum readiness, and stronger cryptographic protections across the federal government.

For agencies already balancing modernization, security, and compliance demands, these new requirements raise questions: What’s changing, what actions are required, and what should agencies prioritize now?

Join GovLoop and government and industry leaders on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 12-4 p.m. ET/9 a.m.-1 p.m. PT, for a virtual summit where we’ll take a deep dive into the latest cybersecurity executive orders and their implications for the public sector.

You'll gain insights into:

• Executive Order 14409 and its impact on federal cybersecurity strategies and implications for agencies, contractors and critical infrastructure partners alike.
• How agencies can balance AI innovation with security and governance requirements.
• What quantum computing means for long-term cybersecurity planning and encryption strategies.
• Steps organizations can take today to prepare for emerging cryptographic and cyber threats.

Artificial intelligence continues to transform how federal agencies operate and serve the public. The AI Summit 2026 brings together federal AI leaders and industry experts to explore the opportunities and challenges of scaling AI responsibly across missions.

Attendees may receive up to 6 continuing professional education (CPE) credits. For more information, please click here.

New York State is reimagining how government delivers services. With a historic $1.05 billion technology investment, the state is advancing infrastructure, embedding responsible AI, and strengthening cybersecurity to meet rising constituent expectations. From the new Empire AI Consortium to $90 million for IT upgrades, leaders are building toward integrated, anticipatory service models that reflect practical steps on the path to Government 3.0—delivering joined-up outcomes, stronger public trust, and measurable results for all New Yorkers. As 26% of the workforce retires by 2029, agencies are prioritizing next-generation talent with $56.5 million invested in upskilling and collaboration.

Government Innovation New York convenes senior public sector leaders in Albany to explore proven strategies, share what's working, and accelerate progress with confidence. The program features deep dives on responsible AI adoption, transparent procurement, and future-ready IT, with tracks covering Data & AI Modernization, Digital Services, public cloud security, and human-centered design. Attendees will gain actionable insights through keynotes by state leaders, interactive roundtables, and global perspectives—bridging strategy and implementation. Join fellow innovators for this complimentary full-day event to collaborate, exchange best practices, and leave equipped with frameworks you can apply immediately to shape New York's digital future.

The US federal landscape is being shaped by tighter fiscal conditions and sharper prioritization, with the Administration’s FY2026 budget proposing deep reductions to non-defense discretionary spend while protecting investments tied to national security, homeland security, veterans, law enforcement, and infrastructure. Agencies must modernize under constraint: retire legacy systems, strengthen cyber resilience, and deploy responsible AI where it improves mission delivery and productivity—accelerating the shift from Government 2.0 silos to Government 3.0 connected, interoperable delivery.

Government Innovation Showcase US Federal helps executives translate these shifting priorities into practical delivery. Across cybersecurity, IT modernization, data and AI, and workforce enablement, the program spotlights what is working across agencies and how leaders can build governance and capability without compromising security, privacy, or accountability. Join peers to align, share approaches, and leave with insights you can apply immediately in the Government 3.0 era.
