FedScoop
Upcoming FedScoop Events
This executive breakfast in Pentagon City brings together senior Department of War and U.S. military leaders in technology, cyber, and operations for a frank conversation about what operational resilience looks like when every second counts.
Hosted by Datadog and presented by FedScoop, the discussion will tackle the hard questions: How do you compress time-to-detect when threats are evolving faster than your tools? How do you secure defense cloud environments while maintaining mission continuity? And how is AI-driven observability changing what's possible?
As the DoW accelerates workloads into the cloud, including IL5 environments, the gap between visibility and vulnerability is closing. Join the leaders who are finding ways to close the gap today.
Attendees will leave with concrete strategies to build infrastructure that's resilient, agile, and mission-ready.
Adversaries don't pause. Neither can your infrastructure.
The playbook for defending federal networks has changed. Agencies can no longer measure progress simply by how many vulnerabilities they close; what matters is how quickly they can identify and remediate the weaknesses adversaries are most likely to exploit. And as AI compresses the time between vulnerability disclosure and weaponization from weeks to hours, static scans and severity scores alone can’t keep pace.
Join federal cybersecurity experts for a candid discussion on what it takes to operate under this risk-based model. Explore how agencies can validate real-world exposure across complex environments, build a repeatable process for prioritizing the vulnerabilities that matter most and safely integrate autonomous security validation into production without disrupting the mission.
Key Discussion Points:
- From Vulnerability to Exploitation Management: Why CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04 shifts the federal measuring stick from CVEs closed to exploits stopped and what it means for Authorizing Officials and C-suite leaders revisiting legacy risk acceptances.
- Meeting the 72-Hour Mandate: How AI is compressing the gap between disclosure and weaponization, and what it takes to streamline workflows and cross-team handoffs to hit the directive's tightest remediation windows.
- Production-Safe Security Validation: How continuous, autonomous attack testing allows agencies to keep pace with AI-driven adversaries safely and without disrupting live production systems.
- Executing "Hack, Fix, Verify": Building a repeatable validation cycle that cuts through alert noise, concentrates resources on high-impact threat vectors and provides verifiable proof to CISA that risk is gone.
Join us for FedTalks 2026 in Washington, D.C. Hosted by FedScoop, FedTalks is the largest annual gathering of C-level executives, leaders and innovators from the government and tech communities. Now in its 16th year, FedTalks brings together more than 1,000 of the country’s most influential leaders for one day of discussion, exploring ways technology and people can transform government and our nation.
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond passive analysis toward systems that can recommend actions, initiate workflows and support operational decisions in real-time. For the nuclear security enterprise, that evolution could help reduce repetitive work, strengthen decision-making and allow highly skilled personnel to focus on the mission’s most critical demands.
Join leaders from the National Nuclear Security Administration, GDIT and ServiceNow for a discussion about the digital, data and security foundations required to bring human-machine teaming into highly secure environments. The panel will examine how NNSA is modernizing legacy systems, strengthening IT service management and building the trusted configuration and data foundations needed to support advanced automation and agentic AI without compromising security.
Key Discussion Points:
- Modernizing for the Genesis Mission: How updated IT systems and services can support scientific, security and operational priorities.
- Building Trusted AI Foundations: Why reliable configuration data, mission-ready information and strong governance are essential for automation.
- Securing Human-Machine Teaming: How agencies can accelerate innovation while maintaining cybersecurity, human accountability and trust.
- Improving the Classified User Experience: What it takes to provide personnel in secure environments with modern, mission-ready tools.
GDIT Emerge: Health Transformation will bring together federal health leaders and technology experts to explore how these advances can help address complex challenges, improve services and support evolving mission needs. Through keynote discussions and interactive panels, attendees will examine how agencies are putting innovation into practice, modernizing health systems, strengthening security, improving digital experiences and harnessing data and technology to deliver better outcomes.
