Cloud adoption is a strategic priority of the Department of Defense’s IT modernization initiatives. From the introduction of milCloud and the headline-grabbing JEDI contract, to the ongoing consolidation of cloud networks and pursuit of an enterprise cloud strategy, the Defense Department has committed to supporting the warfighter in the cloud. Looking ahead, how are advances in cloud computing technology affecting the Department of Def...

Tune in for a discussion brought to you by Defense One and INSA where a panel of public and private subject matter experts will discuss the need for both soft and hard skills to build successful AI teams in and out of government. While the increased use of AI requires a workforce specialized in digital skills and data science, success also requires strong critical thinking, problem solving and the use of interdisciplinary methods -- skills tha...

It’s clear. Cyber will be on the frontlines of future wars. To prepare, the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community and Cyber Command are channeling the power of AI to protect against potential cyber attacks by teaming up to better standardize data collection. During this panel, Nextgov and Defense One will gather tech experts to discuss how battles will be fought by training AI to handle cyber attacks.

In order to strengthen our defenses, artificial intelligence is powering more than ever before—including parts of drones, tanks, planes, ships and weaponry. During this digital event, Nextgov and Defense One will sit down with AI and technology experts to discuss how AI is emerging on the battlefield and changing the way we collect information. We’ll also discuss how ethical guidelines are shaping the use of AI in the military.

Ask a passerby on the street how federal agencies use AI for intelligence; answers might resemble the stuff of spy movies: drones for espionage, robots that scan faces. But Hollywood may not highlight the myriad applications for AI in federal agencies: AI processes satellite imagery to report and predict severe weather, natural disasters and climate changes more efficiently. It detects infections in patients who aren’t displaying sympto...

Cloud computing has proven to be transformational for IC consumers, increasing the speed at which new applications can be developed to support mission and improving the functionality and security of those applications. While the DOD undergoes its own cloud transformation with JEDI, DEOS and MilCloud and the IC opts for multiple cloud providers for its next generation intelligent cloud, dubbed C2E, Defense One, Nextgov and INSA will explore ef...

Artificial intelligence uses continue expanding throughout the federal government, and applying the technologies to the opaque federal acquisition process is no exception. With the potential to save billions of dollars and work hours annually, AI is streamlining contracting in the notoriously time-consuming process and creating opportunities to invest in innovative—not just familiar—ideas. In this digital event, Nextgov and Defens...

Join Defense One and INSA for a discussion around re-skilling, up-skilling and the data-related knowledge and tools required for the Intelligence Community workforce. We’ll delve into best practices for building up a future-focused workforce equipped to support the Community’s current and future AI demands. The panel will explore: Increasing data acumen Private and public sector investment in tools and training The benefits of Univ...

CISA, ODNI and the DOD are working together to promote the magnitude of supply chain security and risk management. Breaches in the supply chain create an opportunity for malicious software or hardware to be installed on equipment. Lack of awareness or validation of the legitimacy of hardware and software presents a serious threat to users’ information and the overall integrity of a network environment.

As federal agencies continue to modernize their technological infrastructure, securing the cloud remains a priority. Across government, innovative approaches and standards to cloud computing continue to develop, including the upcoming release of the Department of Homeland Security’s Trusted Internet Connection guidance (TIC 3.0), forthcoming FedRAMP automation, and, of course, the looming JEDI transition in the Department of Defense, to...
