Strategic military advantage is increasingly defined by speed, integration, and decision-making under pressure. Strategic competitors are advancing capabilities in cyber, space, AI-enabled systems, and long-range precision weapons while operating across the spectrum of conflict in ways that challenge traditional assumptions about deterrence and escalation. At the same time, the Pentagon is working to translate years of planning and investment into operational capability—balancing readiness, modernization, and force design.

The seventh annual State of Defense series will examine how the U.S. military is navigating these realities. Defense One will convene senior leaders from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, alongside leading experts, to explore the strategic choices guiding defense priorities in 2026. The series will spotlight how services are integrating capabilities across domains, adapting operational concepts, and positioning the force to sustain military advantage, offering public-sector leaders insight into how strategy is being executed at the highest levels of national defense.

In this webinar, Atlassian and Clovity demonstrated how Jira Service Management could help government agencies achieve immediate results by modernizing IT and business operations with cloud and automation.

Public sector teams explored how they could:

• Automate workflows to quickly improve service for employees and citizens
• Streamline service delivery to reduce costs and meet the demands of the time
• Accelerate modernization with practical steps that delivered fast impact

In an era of escalating geopolitical risk, the speed of decision-making defines the mission outcome.

Today’s leaders face a volatile global landscape where priorities shift in real-time. Join elite decision-makers and innovators to explore how AI-driven insights and commercial space technologies are fortifying national resilience. This one-day summit is essential for US Defense & Intelligence professionals to explore leveraging next-generation tools to maintain a decisive edge in contested domains. Join us in-person on March 26, 2026 in Arlington, VA.

The intersection of cybersecurity and supply chain resilience is becoming one of the most consequential policy and operational arenas for federal contractors. As the Department of War advances Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements, agencies are also grappling with rising geopolitical risks and complex vendor ecosystems. This Power Breakfast will bring together acquisition executives, cybersecurity leaders, and integrators to unpack CMMC implementation timelines, SBOM requirements, and zero-trust mandates, while exploring strategies to secure and modernize supply chains across the defense and civilian landscapes.

Explore innovation, security, and cloud solutions tailored for the federal government.

Today’s public sector cybersecurity landscape is defined by rapid change, rising risk, and mounting resource constraints. The nation's top cyber and IT leaders will share real-world solutions for breaking through complexity, closing security gaps, and enabling mission success—faster at The Federal Cybersecurity Executive Summit.

Rooted in the belief that nothing should stand in the way of making government secure, this summit brings together experts in identity, AI, and modern cyber infrastructure to discuss how federal agencies can move beyond compliance to truly operationalize security. Backed by Optiv + ClearShark—the unique combination of the nation’s largest pure-play cybersecurity company and the federal government’s top cybersecurity and IT solutions provider—the solutions we’ll discuss are proven, mission-aligned, and engineered to deploy in the most sensitive of customer environments.

This event will explore practical strategies for integrating identity protection, operationalizing data and AI security, and accelerating security operations infrastructure to operate at machine speed. It will feature keynote addresses, fireside conversations, and expert insights from technology leaders across the government and public sectors.

Join us for clear-eyed discussions and high-impact networking with the country’s top tech innovators.    

Illumio Public Sector Summit is a half-day executive program designed for federal, state, and local cyber and IT leaders tasked with operationalizing Zero Trust in mission-critical environments. As adversaries move faster and mandates increase, agencies must shift from prevention-only strategies to approaches that assume breach and prioritize containment.

The program opens with a keynote from John Kindervag, Illumio Evangelist and the godfather of Zero Trust, who will frame today’s cyber battlefield and what it means to “win the cyber war.” Through fireside chats, panels, and interviews, attendees will hear directly from DoD, federal civilian, and state and local organizations, as well as federal systems integrators, on how they are using visibility and segmentation to limit breach impact, meet Zero Trust and compliance objectives, and maintain operational continuity.

Attendees will leave with practical insight into how Illumio enables Zero Trust outcomes—containing attacks, protecting high-value assets, and keeping the mission moving forward.

In today’s era of rising citizen expectations, expanding cyber threats, and increasingly complex mandates, government agencies must not only modernize — they must do so with purpose, agility, and vision. Welcome to AI-powered public sector transformation, where every agency touchpoint is smarter, every service is faster, and every system is built for resilience. 

At the OpenText Government Summit, we’ll explore how public sector leaders are streamlining digital operations, harnessing AI, and designing future-ready platforms enabled under a single provider. From achieving compliance with executive orders and security mandates to building seamless citizen experiences, discover how a unified cloud and information management strategy can simplify your tech stack and accelerate your mission. 

Join us to examine what’s next for digital government. You’ll gain first-hand insights from the country’s foremost experts on:

• Implementing Zero Trust cybersecurity and securing software supply chains
• Leveraging FedRAMP-authorized platforms to speed cloud migration
• Operationalizing AI and agentic automation for case management, contracts, and analytics
• Eliminating backlogs and enabling total citizen experiences across devices and languages
• Future-proofing legacy systems with low-code tools and modular modernization strategies

This is your opportunity to see how the future of government is being built — and how it’s being led with next-gen workforce and technological capabilities.
