Smarter Defense: AI in Federal Cybersecurity

Federal cybersecurity is entering a new phase of complexity and urgency. As threat actors become more sophisticated and persistent, agencies are turning to artificial intelligence to strengthen detection, accelerate response, and operate more effectively at scale. At the same time, questions around trust, governance, and implementation are shaping how these technologies are adopted.

Join us for a brief panel discussion followed by an informal Cocktails & Conversations happy hour, where speakers and attendees can continue the dialogue in a relaxed setting. Together, we will explore how AI-driven tools are transforming threat defense, what is working in practice, and where challenges remain across the federal landscape.

This gathering is designed to encourage open discussion around emerging threats, real world applications, and shared priorities. It offers space to connect, exchange perspectives, and build relationships beyond the panel.

Ideal for federal leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and industry partners alike, this event blends timely insights with meaningful conversation to help participants navigate today’s evolving threat environment and prepare for what is ahead.
