For agencies like the Department of the Treasury, a cyberattack isn't simply an IT outage. It can delay federal payments, disrupt taxpayer services and erode confidence in the nation's financial system. As government modernizes through cloud adoption, AI and increasingly connected infrastructure, leaders are confronting a new reality: resilience is no longer measured by how well agencies prevent attacks, but by how effectively they sustain essential operations when attacks inevitably occur.
This webcast will explore how federal agencies are moving beyond traditional disaster recovery toward a resilience-first strategy centered on mission continuity. Panelists will discuss how concepts like the "Minimum Viable Economy" can help agencies prioritize critical financial services, protect the integrity of mission-essential data and make recovery decisions that preserve fiscal stability and public trust. The conversation will also examine how Zero Trust, cloud modernization and cross-functional planning can strengthen resilience before an incident occur —ensuring agencies recover not just faster, but smarter.
