For federal agencies, the challenge with AI is not just adopting, but making AI work across the places where mission data already lives: records systems, legacy applications, secure environments, sensors, and edge locations. Much of that data is sensitive, distributed, and governed by strict access requirements, making traditional centralized approaches difficult, if even possible.
In this webcast, government and industry leaders will discuss how agencies can bring intelligence to their data while maintaining security, governance, and control. The conversation will explore identity-driven access, data protection, hybrid and edge environments, and the integration required to connect AI capabilities with real federal workflows. Speakers will also discuss the practical architectural considerations for AI orchestration, exploring how agencies can implement multi-agent AI safely within their existing security boundaries. Attendees will learn how to leverage decentralized data processing to automate workflows, enforce access control, and reduce unnecessary data movement without compromising mission-readiness.

He led the implementation of new, cutting-edge capabilities and dramatically decreased electronics costs for cutters under acquisition.
His career also includes tours at Coast Guard Headquarters where he helped deliver a complete C4ISR requirement set for the $10 Billion Offshore Patrol Cutter acquisition project. Simultaneously, he led the first deployments of the Coast Guard Machinery Control System, an open source replacement to proprietary and aging shipboard control systems. He started his officer career on the CGC CAMPBELL from 2006-2008 as the Damage Control Assistant.
CDR White received a Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering from the United States Coast Guard Academy, a Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering Systems from the University of Michigan, and a Master’s of Engineering Management from Old Dominion University. He holds a Department of Homeland Security Acquisitions Program Management Level II and Contracting Officer Representative Level III certification. In 2018, he was selected as the Engineer of the Year for the USCG’s Command, Control and Communications Engineering Center (C3Cen). His awards include the Coast Guard Meritorious Service Medal, Coast Guard Commendation Medal (3), AFCEA Rising Star in Engineering (2017), AFCEA 40 under 40 (2018), Commandant’s Letter of Commendation Ribbon, and Meritorious Team Commendation Ribbon (5).
