The quantum threat isn't hypothetical, it's operational. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted defense traffic today, banking on decrypting it once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists. For the military's forward-deployed edge, that traffic includes command and control, intelligence, and mission data meant to stay secure for decades.
The Department of War's Post-Quantum Cryptography Strategy requires all systems to support quantum-resistant algorithms by 2030 and operate on them by 2031. CNSA 2.0 requires every new National Security System acquisition to be compliant by January 2027.
The direction is clear; execution is not. Most operational cryptography has never been fully inventoried, and the tactical edge, constrained devices, legacy links, denied and degraded environments, is where migration is most likely to stall.
Swapping algorithms won't close this gap. It takes crypto-agility built into the infrastructure, a migration sequence that survives contested conditions, and hard calls on the systems that can't wait until 2031.
Join GIST360’s latest breakfast briefing installment which will convene senior Defense and Military leaders for a candid working session before Day 2 of AUSA on the strategies, tradeoffs, and hard decisions ahead.
The future of government depends on transforming today. Returning October 14–15 to Washington, DC, SAP Public Sector Summit brings public sector leaders together for two days of ideas, insights, and practical strategies for powering what matters next.
Join us to explore how agencies are approaching enterprise AI, modernizing legacy systems, transforming the workforce, and strengthening accountability. Dive into smarter finance and procurement, data-driven decision-making, operational visibility, supply chain resilience, and cybersecurity.
Through thought-provoking keynotes, executive panels, and real-world customer stories and examples, you'll hear how organizations are turning ambitious transformation goals into measurable progress. You'll also gain practical takeaways to help your agency navigate complexity, respond to emerging demands, and build a more resilient future.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with peers across the public sector, learn from leaders, and discover new approaches and ideas to government transformation.

Where mission meets moonshot: Architecting what's next.
The Google Public Sector Summit bridges the gap between ambitious innovation and secure, scaled execution. Tailored for leaders, creators, coders, and builders, the event focuses on moving organizations beyond AI pilots and experimentation into fully deployed, mission-ready realities. By leveraging a secure, integrated AI stack—encompassing everything from planet-scale infrastructure to leading models and agentic platforms—attendees will learn how to safely navigate and thrive in the emerging agentic era.
Rather than just offering inspiration, the Summit provides practical, hands-on experience and personalized programming. Attendees will collaborate with Google Public Sector to walk away with an actionable, customized blueprint and action plan. This ensures your organization is fully equipped with the skills and strategy needed to architect what’s next and confidently turn your highest "moonshot" aspirations into operational successes.
Federal agencies are operating in an increasingly complex environment where digital transformation, evolving threats, and growing volumes of data are reshaping how government delivers on its mission. As technology advances, so too do the methods used to exploit vulnerabilities, making it more important than ever for agencies to strengthen oversight, safeguard public resources, and identify risks before they disrupt operations or erode public trust.
The Fraud, Waste, & Abuse Forum will convene government leaders, oversight officials, inspectors general, technologists, and industry experts to explore how agencies are modernizing their approaches to mission integrity. Through executive discussions and real-world case studies, participants will examine strategies for strengthening accountability, leveraging AI and advanced analytics to detect fraud, improving cross-agency collaboration and secure information sharing, mitigating insider and cyber risks, and building resilient oversight frameworks that keep pace with an evolving threat landscape.
Join Us In-Person Thursday, November 19 at 8 AM EDT
As federal agencies move beyond Zero Trust planning and into implementation, the focus has shifted from strategy to execution. Leaders across government are advancing practical capabilities that strengthen cybersecurity, improve resilience, and support secure mission delivery.
GovExec's Zero Trust Summit: Transforming Strategy into Capability brings together government technology, cybersecurity, and policy leaders to explore how agencies are operationalizing Zero Trust through modern identity, data, network, and AI-driven security strategies. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, attendees will gain practical insights into overcoming implementation challenges, accelerating adoption, and building resilient, mission-ready environments.
