As operational technology (OT) systems become increasingly connected, their exposure to cyber threats grows—putting military readiness, critical infrastructure, and national resilience at risk. Join AFCEA DC for a high-impact luncheon focused on OT and cyber convergence across the Department of War and Homeland Security.

This session will feature a keynote from a senior DoW leader followed by an executive panel of service-level and agency OT leaders discussing how they are modernizing legacy systems, securing operational networks, and building mission assurance strategies that span IT, OT, and ICS environments.

Whether you're a cyber practitioner, acquisition leader, or industry partner, this discussion will deepen your understanding of how OT security is shaping the future of national defense.

Attendees will gain insight into:

• DoW and interagency efforts to secure operational technology
• OT-specific risks, use cases, and evolving cyber-physical threat models
• Challenges and opportunities for public–private collaboration
• How services are approaching Zero Trust in the context of OT systems

Transform Mission-Critical Services with Modern Technology

Government agencies face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems, deliver better digital services, and keep pace with innovation — all while navigating complex data silos, rigid database schemas, and strict security and compliance mandates.

At the MongoDB Public Sector Summit, you’ll discover how to overcome these challenges with modern technology designed for today’s government needs. From modernizing outdated infrastructure to architecting systems that can support generative AI, you’ll learn how to make your data more secure, your applications more agile, and your agency more cost-efficient. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for driving innovation at the speed of a modern tech company — without compromising on security or compliance.
