Securing the Future of Government: Cloud and AI as Strategic Enablers
5:30 - 8:00pm ET | Washington, DC
Event Overview
Governments worldwide are engaging in an urgent digital transformation in response to evolving citizen expectations, security threats and operational complexity. At the heart of this transformation lies the integration of cloud architectures and artificial intelligence to replace aging legacy systems and enable truly agile, data-driven
operations.
What are the technical foundations, patterns and strategies that empower government agencies to embed AI into cloud-native environments – while preserving security, compliance and interoperability? Register for this session and join your peers in exploring how architectures such as hybrid and multi-cloud, containerization, API-driven microservices, and zero-trust frameworks can host AI-
driven workloads.
We’ll also dive into the challenges of model deployment, data governance, real-time inference and monitoring in mission-critical public sector settings.
Among the discussion points
- What is your cloud strategy, and how do you feel about it?
- How are you employing – or at least discussing – AI?
- What are your data security strategies, including zero-trust and data segmentation?
