Government Technology

Deepfakes. Synthetic identities. AI-generated applications. This isn’t a future scenario — it’s already hitting government programs, and it’s accelerating fast. Fraud attacks have surged dramatically, with generative AI making it easier to create convincing identities and submit applications at scale, pushing traditional controls to their limits.

For agencies, the impact is immediate: rising improper payments, increased audit scrutiny and mounting pressure on teams already stretched thin. The gap is growing between how fraud is executed and how it’s detected, especially as automated, high-volume attacks overwhelm manual review and legacy verification methods.

This webinar will show you why current approaches are falling short and how leading organizations are using AI to detect fraud earlier — before payments go out and issues surface in audits. It takes AI to fight AI. 

Why attend:

• Understand where AI-driven fraud is hitting hardest
• Learn what modern, front-end fraud prevention actually requires
• See how agencies are using AI across identity, behavior and device intelligence to catch fraud earlier
• Get practical steps to strengthen audit readiness and reduce risk without slowing access for legitimate applicants

Cyber threats don't keep business hours. Unfortunately, most public sector security teams don't have unlimited staff, unlimited budgets or a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) to match the pace of today's attacks.

At the same time, the threat landscape is changing fast. Adversaries are using AI to accelerate reconnaissance, automate attacks and shorten the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. For state and local governments and higher education institutions, that means security teams are being asked to respond faster than ever while dealing with staffing shortages, alert fatigue and growing operational complexity.

This webinar will explore how organizations are modernizing the SOC to meet these challenges. You'll hear how AI-powered platform approach can help teams cut through noise, automate repetitive tasks and respond to threats more quickly — even when skilled cybersecurity resources are limited. We'll also discuss the growing role of AI agents that can investigate alerts, correlate activity across systems and automate response actions, helping security teams extend their capabilities without adding headcount.

Why attend:

• See how agencies are addressing staffing shortages and alert fatigue without sacrificing security coverage
• Learn how AI-powered operations and AI agents can accelerate detection, investigation and response
• Understand what modern SOC architecture requires to support 24/7 cyber resilience

The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) manages a $22 billion Medicaid operation that provides critical health services to some of the state’s most vulnerable and underserved populations. This webinar explores how the department supports rapid innovation while securing protected health information across a complex healthcare landscape that includes rural hospitals and clinics. Will Monahan, chief information security officer for DCH, joins Box CISO Heather Ceylan for a timely conversation about how the department is moving from manual processes to an automated, AI-driven framework to protect health benefits for millions of Georgia residents.

You’ll learn how DCH is

• Using automated tools to scale security operations despite limited resources
• Navigating state-level AI approval processes by adopting robust governance practices
• Implementing AI-driven data classification and ransomware detection
• Balancing speed and data security requirements

You’ll also see a demonstration of how Box can automate the classification of sensitive documents, data extraction from document intake, and integrate with existing systems — so caseworkers can reduce backlogs, protect PHI/PII, and deliver better constituent outcomes at scale.

When residents reach out to government, they want the same thing every time: a quick answer, a clear resolution, and an easy path to the services they need.

Many state and local agencies are discovering that AI can help make that possible—not as a standalone technology initiative, but as a practical tool for improving service delivery. From reducing wait times and accelerating case resolution to giving employees faster access to information, AI is helping agencies create better experiences for both constituents and staff.

Join us for a discussion of how leading public-sector organizations are putting AI to work in contact centers and other resident-facing operations. Our speakers will share proven approaches for connecting siloed data, identifying high-impact opportunities, and building the foundation for long-term transformation.
Attendees will learn how Presidio and AWS help organizations:

• Assess opportunities to improve constituent experiences through faster, more effective service delivery
• Identify ways to empower employees with better access to information, knowledge, and insights
• Prioritize AI use cases that align with mission objectives and deliver measurable business value
• Evaluate data readiness and address common barriers to AI adoption
• Develop a practical roadmap that balances near-term improvements with long-term modernization goals
  

Whether your organization is evaluating its first AI initiative or expanding existing efforts, this session will provide real-world lessons and actionable strategies for delivering better outcomes for the people you serve.

Cyber threats aren’t just changing — they’re accelerating. AI is collapsing the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation from months to hours, allowing attackers to identify and act on weaknesses at machine speed. For public sector organizations, that means traditional, patch-based defenses are not enough.

This shift is forcing a fundamental rethink of cybersecurity strategy. The question is no longer whether breaches can be prevented entirely but how to contain them when they happen. Agencies are moving toward a model that assumes compromise and focuses on limiting impact: reducing blast radius, restricting lateral movement and protecting mission-critical systems even after an attacker gets in.

In this session, we’ll break down what this new reality means for government and education IT leaders. You’ll hear how AI is redrawing the threat landscape, why Zero Trust is quickly becoming the baseline, and how approaches like micro-segmentation and real-time visibility are helping organizations respond faster and operate with greater confidence.

Why attend:

• Understand how AI accelerates cyber threats and why traditional defenses struggle to keep up
• Learn what breach containment looks like in practice, including how to limit lateral movement and reduce impact
• See how Zero Trust and real-time visibility support mission continuity 
• Key considerations for building resilient network infrastructure that can support future healthcare innovations
