Automation has the power to revolutionize how agencies make decisions and detect threats—but only if built on a strong cybersecurity foundation. For federal civilian agencies, that foundation begins with Zero Trust architecture. As threats grow more sophisticated, compliance requirements tighten, and the need for secure, real-time data access expands across decentralized environments, the ability to orchestrate across the Zero Trust pillars has never been greater.​ Addressing these challenges requires more than incremental fixes. It demands a strategic shift from legacy systems to secure cloud environments and integrated cybersecurity platforms that deliver both agility and resilience. For IT leaders, the question is no longer if modernization is necessary, but how to move forward with urgency and purpose.
This webcast will examine how agencies can successfully navigate that shift—adopting secure, cloud-based solutions and building unified cybersecurity programs that can adapt to today’s threats and tomorrow’s mission demands. Public sector leaders will share practical strategies for phased modernization, regulatory alignment, and operational simplification to reduce complexity and drive lasting resilience.
