Access to digital government systems always begins with verifying that someone is who they claim to be online. In cybersecurity, this is known as identity.
Identity is the digital account tied to a person, application, device, or automated service requesting access to a system. Employees, contractors, students, citizens, APIs, and service accounts all create identities that must be authenticated, authorized, and governed across IT environments.
As agencies expand digital services, the number of identities they manage has grown rapidly. Yet many organizations still rely on legacy identity tools built for much simpler environments. The result is often fragmented identity systems, manual access management processes, and limited visibility into who has access to critical systems and data.
Join Government Technology and GuidePoint Security for a live webinar examining the current state of identity management in the public sector and why modernizing identity tools has become a priority for reducing risk and maintaining operational control.
You’ll learn:
- What identity means in modern security environments. Understand how users, applications, devices, and service accounts all function as identities that require governance and access control.
- The risks created by outdated identity tools. See how fragmented systems, password-based authentication, and manual provisioning introduce security and operational challenges.
- How agencies are modernizing identity systems. Explore a practical, phased approach for integrating identity platforms, strengthening authentication, and improving visibility across environments.

Email remains a critical communication channel across government agencies, but it’s also one of the most common pathways for accidental data loss. From misdirected messages to sensitive information leaving with departing employees, outbound email continues to present significant risk for public sector organizations.
Workforce transitions, including retirements and administrative changes, can further increase the likelihood that sensitive data is unintentionally exposed. Agencies need modern approaches to data loss prevention that can adapt to user behavior while allowing employees to collaborate and communicate effectively.
Join us for this live 60-minute webinar and learn how adaptive email data loss prevention (DLP) can help protect sensitive government data without disrupting productivity. We’ll explore how behavioral AI and machine learning can identify risky outbound activity and apply real-time protections that adjust to user behavior.
Our experts will explore how to:
- Reduce the risk of sensitive data leaving the organization via outbound email
- Address insider risk during workforce transitions and role changes
- Prevent misdirected emails and accidental disclosures
- Strengthen data protection with adaptive, behavioral AI-driven email DLP
This session is designed to provide practical strategies for protecting sensitive public sector data while enabling secure collaboration.

What does it take to scale digital transformation across an entire university?
Join leaders from California Baptist University (CBU) for an inside look at how a small automation pilot in the registrar’s office grew into more than 90 automated processes supporting teams across campus. In this case study session, CBU leaders will share how cross-department collaboration helped modernize student record management, improve accountability and deliver faster service to students and faculty.
Our speakers will discuss how they aligned teams, scaled adoption and created a culture of continuous improvement around process automation.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- How CBU digitized and automated student-facing workflows across departments
- Strategies for building collaboration and buy-in across academic and administrative teams
- Lessons learned from scaling automation campus-wide
- How process visibility and standardized workflows improved accountability and service delivery
Whether you’re beginning your automation journey or looking to expand existing initiatives, this discussion will provide practical insights you can apply to modernize operations and enhance the student experience. We hope you can join us!

As state and local governments accelerate their shift to cloud-based tools and distributed workforces, the traditional security perimeter has all but disappeared — replaced by a complex, interconnected ecosystem of endpoints and SaaS applications. In this environment, a single compromised credential, device or application can trigger a cascading "SaaS domino effect," impacting multiple agencies at once.
This webinar will explore how public sector organizations can strengthen operational resilience amid rapidly evolving threats. In this 30-minute webcast, we’ll:
- Examine emerging risks such as the rise of non-human identities
- Explore the growing challenge of "negative time-to-exploit," where attackers strike before patches are even available
- Unpack the increasing use of interactive voice phishing (vishing)
- Discuss how workforce shortages are straining monitoring and response capabilities
Throughout the session, we’ll ground the discussion in fresh insights from Google’s new 2026 M-Trends Report, unpacking new data and real-world attack patterns to help you better understand where threats are heading next.
Join us to learn practical strategies for securing endpoints, managing SaaS risk, and building a more resilient cybersecurity posture.
