In this webinar, public sector leaders and security experts will discuss practical strategies for building security into everyday processes. Attendees will learn how agencies can strengthen resilience while maintaining usability, productivity and trust.
Discover how embedding security into workflows can help public sector organizations move from reactive defense to proactive resilience. Sign up now to join the discussion.

High-performance computing (HPC) is becoming increasingly important for government agencies supporting advanced analytics, modeling, simulation and AI-driven research. But as these workloads expand, agencies face a growing challenge: How to harness the power of HPC while meeting strict security and compliance requirements.
From auditing limitations and identity management gaps to the complexities of protecting sensitive data in shared computing environments, agencies must navigate competing priorities between speed, openness and control. In this webinar, experts will explore how public sector organizations can balance power and security.
The discussion will highlight practical strategies such as:
- Adopting security-by-design architectures
- Implementing zone-based security models
- Isolating workloads through containerized environments
- Integrating federated identity and automated auditing
Attendees will also gain insight into emerging approaches (such as confidential computing, policy-as-code tools and AI-driven threat detection) that are helping agencies protect their environments while supporting next-generation workloads.
Whether your organization is expanding HPC capabilities or looking to modernize existing environments, this session will provide actionable guidance for bringing innovation and security together.
