Modernizing and Funding: Cybersecurity in the Age of AI

In today’s AI arms race, adversaries are evolving faster. To keep pace, governments must accelerate their Whole-of-State cybersecurity strategies — or risk falling behind. This starts with modernizing the security stack and leveraging every available funding mechanism.

 

Join industry experts for a live discussion that will explore how your agency can break down silos, scale defense capabilities across jurisdictions and take full advantage of grant opportunities to fund cutting-edge, AI-powered solutions.

 

This session will provide actionable guidance on securing investment, aligning with federal frameworks and deploying unified platforms that empower collaboration, increase visibility and reduce risk.

 

We’ll dive into:

  • Modernizing security stacks with AI to scale Whole-of-State defense
  • Strategies for optimizing existing budgets and uncovering new funding sources to support critical security priorities 
  • Turning grant opportunities into deployed, compliant technology solutions by streamlining the approval and procurement process
