For two decades, Federal security has focused on traditional boundaries: networks, endpoints, mailboxes and lookalike domains. Today, adversaries have shifted tactics to bypass network defenses entirely and target Government executives, their staff and their families. This is no longer just a fraud or public-relations issue; it is a critical physical-security and mission-continuity threat. According to recent Doppel telemetry:
Join Doppel for an exclusive briefing highlighting findings from the latest threat report (SECR-51: Federal Executive Protection) produced by Doppel’s Social Engineering Counter-Intelligence & Research (SECR) team. Modern attacks against agency leadership are identity-led, AI-accelerated and online-to-offline. Attackers use cloned AI voices to deceive staff, leverage data brokers to obtain home addresses and escalate digital campaigns into physical threats. While security teams often receive six disconnected alerts across different tools, adversaries operate as a single, coordinated campaign. In this briefing, we will demonstrate how to correlate adversary infrastructure, fake personas and multi-channel content to create a unified operating picture that enables your security, intelligence and protective teams to dismantle entire threat networks in hours rather than weeks. |

Education has become one of the most targeted sectors for ransomware attacks. Universities and school districts share a common vulnerability: endpoints everywhere, limited IT staff, tight budgets and users who need access to get their jobs done.
Attackers aren't targeting sophisticated enterprise networks. They're targeting the teacher's laptop, the shared library workstation and the staff desktop running an unpatched OS with local admin rights left on for convenience.
And the attack path is almost always the same: an endpoint with too much privilege.
Join us September 16 for a conversation on how K–12 districts and universities can stop ransomware at the endpoint.
Attendees will walk away with an understanding of:
- Why education endpoints are among the most ransomware-vulnerable in any sector — and what attackers exploit first
- How standing local admin rights amplify the blast radius of every ransomware infection
- How to remove admin rights without disrupting instruction, research or daily operations
- How to build a practical path from where you are today to a least-privilege endpoint environment — without overwhelming your service desk
Key Takeaways:
- A clear model for removing local admin rights in K–12 and university environments without disrupting users
- Practical application control strategies for classrooms, labs, research environments and administrative workstations
- How to align endpoint controls with CISA guidance, FERPA, GLBA and cyber insurance requirements
- How BeyondTrust EPM reduces ransomware exposure before an attacker reaches an endpoint
Executive Order 14409 put a 30-day clock on federal cyber defense. Section 2 sets firm deadlines to harden federal systems, stand up an AI vulnerability clearinghouse and enforce against AI misuse, with key deliverables due July 2 and the frontier-model framework due August 1. The mandate rests on one unstated assumption: that an agency already has a current, authoritative model of how its network behaves. Most do not. The result: defense cannot be prioritized, vulnerabilities cannot be triaged and hardening cannot be proven. In this webinar, Forward shows how agencies can move from point-in-time documentation to a continuously current system of record, built on a mathematically accurate network digital twin. By modeling the hybrid network from live configuration and state, computing every path traffic can take and verifying proposed changes before they ship, agencies can meet the Section 2 deadlines with evidence instead of assumptions, and confirm that systems stay hardened, segmented and compliant throughout the mission, not just at the moment a change is approved. Attendees will learn how federal organizations can:

Fraud in the federal government significantly impacts public trust, waste of the taxpayer dollars, integrity of the federal programs, and government efficiency. There are multiple types of fraud that include fraudulent payments for services or purchases that were only done to obtain financial benefit and fraud schemes that impact loans, insurances, or other related services. Addressing Fraud in the federal government is a priority initiative and is essential for safeguarding public funds and ensuring effective program execution. Multiple agencies including, for example, IRS, GAO, CMS are actively working to combat fraud through various initiatives, frameworks, and technology to mitigate risks and enhance accountability.
This forum will provide you with examples of technologies and procedures that government have developed to intervene and circumvent fraud activities along with outcomes and plans for future actions.
In a time of rapid change spurred by AI, the federal conversation about cybersecurity is becoming less about individual technologies or modalities and more about operational effectiveness. Agencies have invested heavily in cybersecurity, yet many still struggle to answer critical questions quickly enough to reduce risk.
Meanwhile, security tools have multiplied faster than agencies’ ability to make coordinated trust decisions. The technology stack has evolved, but security decisions haven’t. Common frustrations include tools that don’t work together the way agencies’ missions do; more data available than ever but less confidence in making decisions; and security decisions that require too much manual coordination across disconnected systems.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify ways to make trust dynamic – responding in real time to real threats – rather than assume trust
- Outline methods to enable AI without creating security blind spots
- Review steps you can take to make faster, more confident security decisions for your agency, such as network segmentation/microsegmentation, using AI to control traffic flow to prevent data loss

Government, industry and academia are actively using new or modifying existing digital technologies to assist with changes, improvements, and efficiencies in operation of the business processes, meet customer demands, utilize automation to reduce many manual work processes while improving productivity, and enable these tools to reach a wider audience by reducing geographic barriers. Digital Transformation can improve operational efficiencies, provide more agility and flexibility in day-to-day activities, enable opportunities to grow and expand, and provide new value, satisfaction, and benefit for not only the staff but also the customers and shareholders. Many have dubbed "Digital Transformation as Reimagining How we do Business”.
Digital Transformation needs strong leadership with a clear vision and the willing support of staff to make the needed transition. Another key element of Digital Transformation is understanding what technology is capable of doing and how an agency or organization can make the most use of that technology investment.
This Summit will focus on where Digital Transformation is today, how it has been used to transition to new innovative technologies, and how it has improved overall performance. This event will also include an international element to hear how other countries have utilized digital technologies successfully.
