War Department (DOW) operations are shifting fast as AI, automation, and advanced mission‑tech to go from pilot mode to everyday use. The pace is accelerating, the tools are smarter, and agencies are rethinking how they execute missions in real time.

Join us online Wednesday, June 24 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for a practical look at how AI and emerging technologies are reshaping operational workflows across the DOW. We’ll focus on what’s changing right now: faster decision cycles, more efficient mission processes, and the tech helping teams stay ahead in complex environments.

You'll learn how:

• The most important AI‑driven shifts redefining DOW operations today.
• Teams are using automation and intelligent systems to move faster and improve mission outcomes.
• To implement AI securely and responsibly while reducing — not increasing — operational complexity.

AWS Summit Washington, D.C. is a free two-day event where the latest in cloud innovation comes to life. Connect with fellow public sector innovators and AWS experts in our nation's capital for two days of learning, sharing, and building together.

From agentic AI to super-computing, discover cutting-edge technologies and hear directly from public sector leaders who've transformed their missions with AWS. Customize your experience by choosing sessions that best fit your mission need, including customer-led sessions which show you real solutions to real challenges, all while networking with like-minded professionals.

The SANS Government Forum 2026, presented in partnership with Carahsoft, brings together Federal, State and Local cybersecurity leaders to address today’s most pressing security challenges. This forum is designed to help agencies strengthen mission readiness, modernize infrastructure, and improve cyber resilience through expert-led insights and real-world strategies.

Key Focus Areas

• AI and Agentic AI
• Explore how AI-driven and autonomous systems are transforming threat detection, response and decision-making
• Learn how agencies can safely operationalize AI to enhance security outcomes
• Critical Infrastructure: IT/OT
• Address the convergence of IT and operational technology environments
• Gain strategies to defend essential services against ransomware and nation-state threats
• Zero Trust and Identity Security
• Understand identity-first security architectures for hybrid and cloud environments
• Learn how to enforce least privilege and reduce identity-based risk
• Exposure Management: Threat and Attack Surface
• Discover approaches to continuously identify, prioritize and reduce cyber risk
• Improve visibility across expanding attack surfaces and complex ecosystems

Why Attend

• Gain actionable, practitioner-led insights from SANS experts and industry leaders
• Engage in real-world discussions around current government cybersecurity challenges
• Identify proven solutions to accelerate secure adoption of emerging technologies
• Walk away with strategies to defend today’s missions and prepare for evolving threats

Agencies are exploring how AI can improve decision-making, streamline operations, and enhance service delivery — all while navigating real constraints around data, governance, and workforce readiness.

The result? A growing set of lessons about what it actually takes to move AI from experimentation to real impact.

Join us online Wednesday, July 22 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT for a virtual summit focused on real-world insights from agencies working to realize the potential of AI — and how leaders are turning those insights into measurable outcomes.

Specifically, you'll learn:

• How agencies are moving AI efforts from pilots to production.
• Common challenges around data, governance, and workforce, and how teams are addressing them.
• Real examples of AI improving mission outcomes and service delivery.
• Practical lessons for scaling AI in a responsible, sustainable way.

The New York Digital Government Summit is where innovation meets impact!

Bringing together the brightest minds in state and local government, this summit empowers public-sector leaders to explore cutting-edge technologies, modernize operations, and solve pressing challenges. From cybersecurity and AI to data governance and digital service delivery, sessions are designed to spark insight, foster collaboration, and accelerate real-world results. Whether you're shaping strategy or implementing solutions, the Summit delivers valuable peer connections and actionable guidance to help move your mission forward.

Open to Public Sector only.

The SANS Fall Cyber Solutions Fest 2026: Identity Security and Zero Trust Track delivers a deep technical examination of identity as the modern attack surface. As adversaries exploit misconfigured IdPs, weak federation trust, poisoned authentication flows, and over-permissioned service principals, this track analyzes the mechanics of identity compromise across multiple attack surfaces, and hybrid environments. Sessions will dissect novel identity threat vectors, including token replay and manipulation, MFA fatigue attacks, conditional access bypass techniques, and identity infrastructure persistence. Practitioners will gain prescriptive guidance on securing authentication pipelines, hardening federation architectures, and monitoring high-risk identity events with advanced telemetry.

Anchored in Zero Trust architecture, the track focuses on continuous policy enforcement, adaptive authentication, micro-segmentation, and automated privilege reduction across distributed systems. Experts will present reference architectures and implementation patterns for identity-centric Zero Trust deployments, covering identity threat detection and response (ITDR), identity-driven segmentation, policy decision point/orchestration design, and integration of identity context into SIEM, XDR, and SOAR workflows. Attendees will leave with actionable techniques for securing machine identities, enforcing least privilege at scale, validating trust signals in real time, and operationalizing Zero Trust across multi-cloud and SaaS ecosystems.
