CyberScape Summit

AI is increasingly integrated into modern workflows to enhance efficiency, but malicious actors are exploiting its capabilities to create new digital threats. Join top officials as they discuss modernizing encryption and intrusion detection to secure AI while maximizing its benefits.

CISA has identified 16 critical infrastructures because their physical and digital assets, systems and networks are considered vital to national economic security, safety and public health. Learn how leaders are developing cybersecurity strategies to protect critical infrastructure and IT systems from evolving cyber threats in an increasingly digital environment.

Cyber leaders are managing, evaluating and assessing agencies’ cyber posture to combat some of the most pressing security challenges. Hear from experts on how they envision cyber strategies advancing national security and staying ahead of evolving threats.

The Flywheel Awards recognize leaders and their work in the federal government.

The flywheel — a critical component in a machine to increase its momentum — is also a critical symbol representing our publication’s goal to keep federal IT decision-makers informed on technology’s impact on government. This momentum is what fuels the constant need for transformers to innovate in cybersecurity and communicate evolving cyber strategies across the ecosystem.

Award categories include: Cyber Defender, Cyber Leader, Cybersecurity Rising Star, Zero Trust Advocate and CISO of the Year.

Federal agencies face significant challenges in securing data against evolving cyber threats, including sophisticated attacks, legacy systems, insider risks and limited resources. Hear how leaders are adopting and advancing solutions like data encryption, cloud security and zero trust to safeguard sensitive data while providing the right information at the right time to support data-driven decision making.

Federal agencies are employing advanced techniques to recover from cyberattacks and enhance resilience. Learn how leaders are leveraging emerging technologies like AI to automate incident response, developing cyber resilience frameworks to establish robust recovery plans and advancing public-private partnerships to share threat intelligence.

The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology released an initial public draft report on transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. Learn why PQC is a cybersecurity necessity, the challenges of prepping data for migration and what’s next for PQC at their agencies.
