In the public sector, a security incident is more than a technical hurdle; it is a test of organizational resilience and community confidence. While many local governments operate in a state of reactive defense, the most resilient municipalities are shifting their strategy to treat identity as the new perimeter.

Many local governments face the same hurdles: complex legacy systems, lean IT teams and the constant threat of data breaches. This webinar provides a blueprint for leadership to move beyond “fixing what’s broken” and start building a proactive defense that safeguards both employee and citizen data.

Learning Objectives:

• Outline the strategic decision-making process behind providing a unified identity layer
• Delineate ways that municipalities can scale security expertise rapidly without the overhead of a massive internal team
• Develop practical metrics to measure improved security performance
• List practical steps for using identity management as a shield against future threats, ensuring long-term stability and public trust

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

The one-size-fits-all era is over. Students expect personalized support and institutions need smarter ways to stand out.

In today’s era of rising citizen expectations, expanding cyber threats, and increasingly complex mandates, government agencies must not only modernize — they must do so with purpose, agility, and vision. Welcome to AI-powered public sector transformation, where every agency touchpoint is smarter, every service is faster, and every system is built for resilience. 

At the OpenText Government Summit, we’ll explore how public sector leaders are streamlining digital operations, harnessing AI, and designing future-ready platforms enabled under a single provider. From achieving compliance with executive orders and security mandates to building seamless citizen experiences, discover how a unified cloud and information management strategy can simplify your tech stack and accelerate your mission. 

Join us to examine what’s next for digital government. You’ll gain first-hand insights from the country’s foremost experts on:

• Implementing Zero Trust cybersecurity and securing software supply chains
• Leveraging FedRAMP-authorized platforms to speed cloud migration
• Operationalizing AI and agentic automation for case management, contracts, and analytics
• Eliminating backlogs and enabling total citizen experiences across devices and languages
• Future-proofing legacy systems with low-code tools and modular modernization strategies

This is your opportunity to see how the future of government is being built — and how it’s being led with next-gen workforce and technological capabilities.

Join us for this in-person roundtable, which brings together public sector IT and security leaders to discuss practical approaches for reducing cyber risk across critical systems and data, while ensuring rapid, reliable recovery when incidents occur.

Register today to secure your seat and hear experts from Okta, Druva, Zscaler, Dell Technologies, Carahsoft Technology Corp. and Index Engines share insights on the current threat landscape and lead an interactive discussion on how public sector organizations can:

• Strengthen security controls to reduce the attack surface and limit entry points.

• Identify vulnerabilities, intrusions and insider threats earlier to minimize disruption.

• Speed up recovery of systems and data to reduce downtime, protect mission-critical services and prevent data loss.

This session is designed as a collaborative, peer-to-peer discussion rather than a lecture, giving you the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow leaders while gaining practical strategies and real-world examples. Save your spot to join the conversation and walk away with actionable next steps you can bring back to your agency or institution.

Federal agencies across the board are facing rapidly multiplying security threats, from nation states to criminals. Today's security operations centers (SOCs) are facing a barrage of "more." More attacks. More security tools. More devices and data. To eliminate current threats and anticipate future ones, your SOC must evolve, and fast. 

There are numerous mandates directing elements of cybersecurity policies and practices, such as Executive Order 14028 requiring Zero Trust architectures for agencies’ networks and software supply chain integrity, NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography and AI use, and FedRAMP 20x. All the mandates aim for the same result: cybersecurity in real time, continuous and dynamic monitoring, and the ability to tie different systems together. 

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the challenges involved in modernizing SOCs. 

Discussion topics include:

• Streamlining security tools
• Minimizing alerts and prioritizing critical actions
• Reducing threat containment time
• Real-world solutions from cyber experts

As federal agencies continue to modernize IT environments and accelerate cloud adoption, securing multi-cloud and hybrid architectures remains a critical mission priority. The Public Sector Cloud Security Summit will convene government and industry leaders to discuss strategies for implementing secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environments that align with Federal mandates and evolving cybersecurity guidance.

Discussions will focus on strengthening the federal cloud security posture through Zero Trust adoption, FedRAMP modernization, and alignment with OMB and CISA frameworks. Panelists will explore best practices for securing sensitive data, managing shared responsibility models, and integrating continuous monitoring and automation to improve resilience. Attendees will also examine procurement, workforce, and governance considerations that enable agencies to balance innovation with security while advancing mission delivery in the cloud.

Innovate Cybersecurity Summit is an invitation-only, all-expenses-paid, cybersecurity education event for CISOs and cybersecurity executives.

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.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to align these three strategies with required mandates
• Outline a practical roadmap for implementation across your agency’s infrastructure
• Delineate the ways these approaches strengthen your agency’s cyber defenses from the inside out
