Canadian government and public sector organizations are rapidly adopting AI, cloud services, and digital citizen platforms while facing increasingly sophisticated and fast-moving threats. 

Traditional, static segmentation approaches often struggle to keep pace with evolving hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Static segmentation is not as agile as an AI-enabled tool. 

Learning Objectives:

• Learn where automation and AI can strengthen security operations—and where human oversight remains essential
• Understand how modern segmentation helps reduce breach impact while supporting service continuity and compliance requirements
• Evaluate why visibility and context are critical for protecting sensitive government systems, citizen data, and critical infrastructure

Cybersecurity is always a volatile topic – new threats, new approaches to defense, emerging new attack surfaces. The emergence of AI as a commercially viable technology introduces new considerations, including growing recognition that it substantially increases the need for risk management. 

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss what is happening now, and what threats and opportunities may arise from current trends. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify where new AI tools can reinforce existing cyber defenses
• Examine how to protect data privacy within an AI-enabled system
• Evaluate your software supply chain to determine how and where to implement zero trust requirements
• Delineate the elements of a universally applied ZT architecture, including identities, accounts, assets, resources, authentication, behavior, and data
• Review your agency’s operations to locate where OT is used and conduct risk assessments to determine corrective measures

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.
