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. \nJoin 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. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Speakers:\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Dr. Ceasar Jackson\n					Senior Data Scientist\, CDM-Wide Mission Support\, U.S. Air Force \n					\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Vicente Tur-Rojas\n					Director for Security Management\, Chief Information Security Officer\, U.S. Department of Defense \n					\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Moderator: Kiersten Patton\n					ATARC Consultant  \n					\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Zoom for Government enables ATARC remote collaboration opportunities through its cloud platform for video and audio conferencing\, chats and webinars across all devices.

Quantum technologies are governed by the physics of sub-atomic particles and have relevance to computing\, sensing\, imaging\, metrology\, communications\, and cryptography. Because of their wide-ranging applicability\, quantum technologies promise to be transformative\, with uses in intelligence\, financial security\, computing\, medicine\, and navigation. Society has entered the second quantum revolution\, but it is still in its infancy\, and the nascent quantum industry requires significant fundamental research to mature novel technologies. In partnership with industrial and government members\, the CQT researchers will use their expertise in quantum science and engineering to develop and transfer foundational knowledge into industry-friendly quantum devices\, systems\, and algorithms with enhanced functionality and performance. Additionally\, the CQT will help train the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers to support the development of a critically needed quantum workforce. Students not only conduct research\, but also help writing project reports\, present at biannual meetings\, and interact with industry and government members. This talk will give an overview of the IUCRC model along with the CQT mission\, vision and research themes. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Speaker:\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Dr. David J.
