This demo illustrates how Armis Centrix and ColorTokens XShield jointly deliver Zero Trust for converged IT/OT environments without disrupting operations or requiring agents on sensitive OT systems.

Using a realistic manufacturing scenario, the narrative walks through a full lifecycle transformation:from complete, passive asset discovery (Armis) → to automated classification and boundary mapping → to policy creation and enforcement through microsegmentation (XShield).
Once deployed, the solution converts a flat, high-risk OT network into a fully enforced, deny-by-default architecture aligned to the Purdue model.

Armis provides continuous visibility and threat detection, while XShield translates that intelligence into real-time, enforced segmentation policies that prevent unauthorized communication and lateral movement.
The combined platform demonstrates measurable outcomes:

Immediate visibility of all IT/OT assets and unknown devices
Automated, scalable policy creation based on real environment behavior
Non-disruptive enforcement of microsegmentation in production
Detection of protocol-level risks (e.g., insecure Modbus)
Real-time blocking and containment of active threats at the IT/OT boundary
Strict deny-by-default controls within OT, preserving only authorized engineering paths

Most critically, the demo proves that Zero Trust in OT is achievable without patching, downtime, or re-architecting legacy systems by combining continuous visibility with dynamic enforcement.

Be part of this immersive event to understand, explore, and prepare for the future of cybersecurity. Secure your spot today and witness the future of Zero Trust Security.

A new approach to securing government-issued and personal mobile devices is needed—one built on zero-trust principles and physical security controls.
Why?
Mobile devices are now the world’s most widely used computing platform and an essential tool for government and military operations. However, the cameras, microphones, radios, and location services that make these devices valuable also create significant surveillance, tracking, and operational security risks.
Privoro is the only solution that physically mitigates these risks by giving users direct control over the sensors and radios that enable observation and tracking—the same security approach required in the U.S. government’s most sensitive classified environments.
With Privoro, users can physically disable cameras, microphones, and location-tracking capabilities when needed.
Rather than accepting continuous operational security risk or banning mobile devices from sensitive areas, organizations can securely enable mobile productivity with Privoro—the only solution approved for secure spaces and designed to mitigate threats from adversaries exploiting mobile device tracking and data collection.
Join us for a demonstration of our complete solution architecture and see how zero-trust mobile security enables mission-critical mobile device use anywhere, anytime, without compromising security.

Mobile devices have become the world’s most widely deployed computing platform and an essential tool for government and military operations. With the rapid adoption of 5G, they are no longer just communication devices—they are a foundational technology for mission effectiveness and operational advantage.
As Noah Mathews recently wrote in “5G: The DoD’s Wireless Backbone,” “Transitioning to 5G is no longer a question of necessity, but of action and commitment.” As government and military organizations accelerate 5G adoption, securing the mobile devices that operate on these networks becomes equally critical.
In today’s environment, mobile technology is critical to maintaining connectivity, decision superiority, and operational readiness. However, the cameras, microphones, radios, and location services that make mobile devices so valuable also create significant security risks.
As reported by Karen Jowers in Military Times (“‘Scary and silencing’: Troops, families receive threats from foreign bad actors,” May 29, 2026), Senators Ron Wyden and Wesley Hunt Harrigan stated in a May 28, 2026, letter to the DoD Chief Information Officer that “DOD officials have reportedly known about the threat posed by mobile devices to national security for at least a decade.”
But what is this mobile device threat or risk?
Commercial smartphones are designed to continuously collect, process, and transmit data. While this enables powerful capabilities, it also creates opportunities for surveillance, tracking, interference, and data exploitation by foreign adversaries.
As a result, organizations are often forced to choose between accepting operational security risk or restricting mobile device use in sensitive environments—limiting the full potential of mobile technology.
A new approach is needed: zero-trust mobile security backed by physical security controls.
Privoro is the only solution that physically mitigates mobile surveillance, tracking, and interference risks by providing direct control over cameras, microphones, and radios.
Designed and manufactured in the United States, Privoro enables organizations to securely use mobile devices in environments where they were previously restricted or prohibited.
By eliminating the need to choose between security and connectivity, Privoro unlocks the full operational value of mobile devices—even in the most sensitive environments.
Join us for a demonstration of our complete solution architecture and see how zero-trust mobile security enables mission-critical mobile device use anywhere, anytime, without compromising security.

About this Webinar:

As new computing capabilities become available, there is an opportunity to solve some of the unsolved problems in power grids. In this talk, we will focus on the use cases for quantum computing that have been explored at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) related to simulations and optimization problems in the power grid. For example, electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation is an upcoming power grid simulation need that needs significant computing resources. Using HHL, VQLS, and other variants of solvers, we have seen feasibility in using quantum computing to perform EMT simulations. Another problem is traditional NP-hard mixed-integer optimization problems like unit commitment and design optimization problems that haven’t been solved to global optima in power systems. Using VQE and QUBO algorithms with benders’ decomposition (or variants), we have been able to showcase feasibility and preliminary advantages of using quantum computing to resolve unit commitment and energy storage placement optimization problems. These examples will be discussed, along with challenges faced in these solutions and the work ahead.

This presentation demonstrates how TrendAI Vision One delivers Zero Trust as a unified, AI-driven platform rather than a collection of point tools. Every capability shown maps directly to the NSA’s seven pillars of Zero Trust, with native sensors and an agentic AI layer operating over a single data lake. Because the platform integrates identity management, endpoint, workload, SOAR, and SDN — and runs both cloud-agnostic and on-premises — it provides continuous, policy-driven enforcement across the full mission environment instead of stitching together disconnected controls.
The session will walk through the platform in action across the use cases that matter most to federal security and governance teams. These include sensitive-data classification that drives downstream access decisions, vulnerability and incident management enriched with AI-based attack-path prediction, and governance spanning the broader ecosystem, software supply chain, and SBOMs. Throughout, AI is used not just to detect but to prioritize and act — automatically ranking risk and cutting service tickets so analysts spend their time remediating rather than researching and documenting.
During this session, TrendAI will actively demonstrate the ATARC Zero Trust Lab Phase 3 AI Track Use Cases, walking through the platform in action across critical federal security and governance workflows.
