Whether you need advice for building on established success or you’ve just started modernizing, this session is designed to make real-world experience your resource. We hope you can join us! This session comes with a complimentary certificate of attendance.
Zero trust architecture, or ZTA, and similar initiatives should be viewed not as compliance requirements but as strategic enablers of mission success. True resilience begins with data, ensuring people, processes and technology are prepared to maintain access to critical information under any conditions. By prioritizing data resilience, agencies establish a strong foundation for cyber resilience, creating a unified approach that sustains operations even in denied, disrupted, intermittent and limited, or DDIL, environments.
In this webinar, Matt McDougall, the G6 senior technical advisor for the Army’s Western Hemisphere Command, and Richard Breakiron, Commvault’s senior director of strategic initiatives for Americas public sector will provide an informative DoD and industry perspective.

Government agencies are pushing toward a more agile, high‑tech future. It requires using AI to eliminate time‑intensive operational work, strengthen foundational service and operations data, and accelerate mission‑critical functions without compromising security or compliance.
Public sector organizations are now approaching AI as an operational capability rather than a pilot, including the decisions required to retire legacy processes, establish governed data foundations, and adopt new ways of working. The challenge is moving beyond traditional “Generative AI” (which only provides answers) to “Agentic AI,” which can autonomously perform multi-step tasks, navigate disparate systems, and resolve issues with human-in-the-loop oversight.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline your agency’s data readiness for AI and what will constitute foundation data for AI applications
- Delineate the steps involved in retiring legacy processes within your agency
- Identify processes where agentic AI can streamline the steps and boost productivity
