Watch On-Demand!

As AI becomes embedded across government systems and critical infrastructure, agencies are facing a new cybersecurity reality shaped by autonomous systems and agentic AI. In this episode, we’ll explore how leaders are adapting cybersecurity strategies for an increasingly agent-driven world, including how agencies are:

• Evolving Zero Trust, identity management, governance, and incident response models for AI-enabled environments
• Discovering and governing AI usage across the enterprise
• Preventing sensitive data from being exposed through AI prompts, model interactions, and autonomous workflows
• Securing agentic systems and machine-generated actions before they introduce new risks
• Using AI-enabled cyber defense to improve threat detection, response, and resilience
• Preparing the cyber workforce to manage emerging AI-enabled threats

The discussion will highlight how agencies are balancing innovation, security, and operational agility while strengthening resilience against increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats.
