Harnessing AI Innovation While Ensuring Efficiency in Government Operations

As artificial intelligence advances, federal agencies face the challenge of balancing rapid innovation with operational efficiency. How can agencies integrate cutting-edge AI solutions while maintaining mission continuity, managing costs, and avoiding inefficiencies? This panel will explore strategies for responsible AI adoption, optimizing workflows, and ensuring that AI initiatives enhance, rather than hinder, government operations.
Federal leaders will discuss best practices for scaling AI, mitigating risks, and leveraging automation to drive both innovation and efficiency in public service.

The Power of Data in AI: Transforming Federal Decision-Making
AI is only as effective as the data that fuels it. With the federal government managing vast amounts of data, agencies must ensure they have the right frameworks in place to collect, store, and utilize data effectively. This panel will examine the intersection of AI and data governance, discussing data quality, interoperability, privacy, and security.
Experts will share insights on how agencies can maximize the value of their data, improve decision-making with AI-driven analytics, and navigate challenges in data-sharing across government entities.

About this Webinar:

As Zero Trust continues to shift from policy to practice across the federal government, IT leaders are under pressure to rethink how access, identity, and risk are managed in today’s complex, hybrid environments. This discussion will explore how organizations are moving beyond perimeter-based models to adopt dynamic, identity-driven architectures that can that support mission resilience – especially in contested, disconnected, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments. From governance, integration and automation to visibility and enforcement at the tactical edge, panelists will share how to translate Zero Trust principles into real-world, scalable outcomes – without disrupting mission performance.
Join us for a high-level conversation designed for federal CIOs, CISOs, and senior IT leaders charting the path forward. This session will offer actionable insights on prioritizing investments, aligning stakeholders, and accelerating Zero Trust maturity—turning mandates into meaningful security transformation across domains and alliances.
