• Identify the types of cyber threats your agency is facing and which AI tools are best suited to respond to them
• Delineate which cybersecurity activities can be adapted quickly for AI enablement (e.g., fraud detection through real-time transaction monitoring, phishing detection by analyzing suspicious email)
• Outline the steps to implement AI tools in order of priority
• Identify ways to incorporate theater MPEs into one overall solution
• Review the roles played by zero trust and ICAM in protecting operations while maintaining speed of execution
• Outline the role of AI in identifying and eliminating cyber threats in a battle space environment
• Identify the assets – from supercomputers to dedicated high-speed wireless networks to scientific disciplines – needed to meet the objectives of the Genesis Mission
• Evaluate the role your agency may play in executing a foundational science research project
• Delineate the internal and external resources required to achieve scientific breakthroughs in multiple disciplinary fields and identify overlaps in capabilities and objectives

• Understand how an agency can set priorities for using AI in cybersecurity, whether through monitoring for phishing, closing gaps and patching existing systems, or monitoring for malware that has been modified
• Outline the steps in implementing AI-enabled tools that can work with existing cyber defenses
• Define metrics that can measure the impact of using AI tools for cybersecurity
• Outline the role of drones, sensors and AI to improve situational awareness for first responders, including GIS mapping to analyze hazard risks and affected populations
• Evaluate how your agency is using systems that provide two-way communications, especially alert systems with geo-targeting capabilities to reach affected areas
• Delineate steps to ensure operational readiness, by testing systems, training first responders, and updating protocols to meet federal, state, and local emergency regulations
• Evaluate the value of a unified dashboard that tracks spending across clouds and allocates costs to teams, projects, and applications
• Delineate the steps to implement automated shutdowns of non-critical environments during off-hours and delete unused resources such as unattached storage volumes or IP addresses
• Outline methods for analyzi

Federal agencies are under relentless pressure to modernize their security posture as they face an onslaught of new, enhanced threats – from hostile nation-states, criminal networks, and hackers determined to stir up trouble.

The path forward starts with three proven principles: Least Privilege Access, which blocks users from gaining entry to data and software they are not allowed to use; Zero Trust architectures, designed to “never trust, always identify;” and microsegmentation, which allows networks to be blockaded into very small sections that can be walled off from the overall network.

Join us for an in-depth webinar where thought leaders from government and industry break down how these three concepts work together to limit exposure, stop lateral movement, and protect sensitive government data.

Three Days of Collaboration, Learning, and Cybersecurity Insights

This gathering marks the 19th ISAC Annual Meeting—celebrating nearly two decades of State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) collaboration and community defense. Government Technology is proud to partner with the MS-ISAC in advancing an ongoing initiative that has been shaping how the public sector confronts its most urgent cybersecurity challenges.

Join us on June 21-24, 2026 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Engage with peers, gain insights from shared SLTT best practices, and enhance your security, resilience, and continuity strategies to better protect U.S. government networks and systems.

Open to State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) government organizations.

Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (OCISO) is proud to announce the 27th Annual Information Security Forum (ISF) on May 20-21, 2026 (Wednesday-Thursday) at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas. As the premier cybersecurity event for Texas state and local government and public education institutions, ISF 2026 brings together decision-makers, IT professionals, and security leaders from across the state for two days of learning, collaboration, and innovation.

ISF will feature engaging presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration between public-and private-sector security experts.

Registration is not available for TechNet Cyber. Check back in Winter 2025.

Adversaries have taken to cyberspace to conduct continuous confrontations. Protecting cyber assets requires more than a single entity, it demands multiple organizations. Join us for this three-day event and interact with IT professionals, hear from experts and develop solutions to ensure technology can connect people to information.
