[Government Keynote] What’s in the New Cyber EOs and Why It Matters

• Jay Gazlay, Acting Associate Director, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

Recent cybersecurity executive orders are shaping how agencies approach identity management, software security, threat detection, quantum readiness and supply chain risk. Hear from a government leader on what the latest requirements mean in practice, what agencies should prioritize now and how these changes could impact cybersecurity strategies across the public sector.

[Lightning Keynote] The New Cyber Policies Are About More Than Compliance

• Yejin Jang, Vice President, Government Affairs, Abnormal AI

When agencies look at EO 14409, OMB M-26-14, and OMB M-25-21, it's easy to focus on the requirements. But taken together, these policies tell a bigger story: agencies should be finding smarter ways to strengthen cybersecurity while making the most of limited resources. In this lightning keynote, hear how AI can help teams spend less time chasing alerts and more time on threat hunting, investigations, and response, all while advancing the goals behind the latest cyber guidance.

AI and Cybersecurity: Protecting Agencies in a New Era of Risk

• Brian Tillett, Director, Security & Risk GTM, ServiceNow

Artificial intelligence is transforming how agencies operate, but it's also changing the cybersecurity landscape. As organizations deploy AI tools and services, they must manage new risks while also finding ways to strengthen security operations with AI. In this session, you'll hear from ServiceNow about how government leaders are approaching AI-enabled cybersecurity, improving threat detection and response, and building the visibility and governance needed to secure emerging technologies.

[Government Keynote] Where Agencies Lag Behind in Cyber Preparedness

• Terry Kalka, Director, DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3)
  

Despite years of investment, many agencies continue to face gaps in cyber preparedness, from modernizing legacy systems to strengthening identity, data and supply chain security. Hear how government leaders are assessing risk, addressing vulnerabilities and building more resilient cybersecurity programs to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Why Endpoint Visibility Is the Foundation of Cyber Resilience

• Egon Rinderer, SVP, Federal & Enterprise Growth, NinjaOne

Agencies are under increasing pressure to patch vulnerabilities faster, strengthen zero trust, and meet evolving cybersecurity mandates. But those efforts depend on one thing many organizations still struggle with: knowing exactly what software and assets exist across their environments. In this lightning keynote, hear why accurate endpoint visibility is becoming a critical cybersecurity priority and how agencies can build a stronger foundation for patching, risk management, and operational resilience while keeping pace with today's cyber requirements.

What Executive Orders 14409 and 14412 Require From Agencies

• Howard Ignal, Senior Manager, Sales Engineering, Axonius Federal Systems | Public Sector

Executive Orders 14409 and 14412 are setting new expectations for agencies around AI security, cyber resilience, and post-quantum readiness. As leaders work to translate policy into action, they must balance innovation with security, improve visibility into their environments, and prepare for emerging threats. In this session, you'll hear from a leader at Axonius about how agencies are turning these new directives into practical strategies for strengthening cybersecurity today and building resilience for the future.

[Government Keynote] AI’s Impact on Cybersecurity in 2026 and Beyond

• Kevin Walsh, Director, Information Technology Issues Group, U.S. Government Accountability Office

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape, creating new opportunities for agencies to strengthen defenses while introducing new risks and challenges. Hear how government leaders are leveraging AI to improve threat detection, automate security operations and protect critical systems, while preparing for the evolving cyber threats of tomorrow.

Preparing for the Post-Quantum Future: What Executive Order 14412 Means for Agencies

• Russ Hopler, IBM Solution Architect, Four Inc.

Executive Order 14412 puts a new spotlight on quantum readiness and the urgent need to strengthen cryptographic protections across the federal government. As agencies begin identifying where cryptography is used throughout their environments, leaders must assess risk, develop migration plans, and prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. In this session, you'll hear from Four Inc. about how agencies can inventory cryptographic assets, define and execute roadmaps for remediation, and build long-term strategies to protect sensitive data and critical systems from emerging threats.

Preparing for the Next Era of Federal Cyber Visibility

• Matthew Brady, Senior Solutions Architect, Elastic

OMB Memorandum M-26-14 marks a major shift in how agencies approach logging, network visibility, and cyber operations, moving from a compliance-focused model to one centered on continuous monitoring and threat response. In this lightning keynote, you'll learn how Elastic is helping agencies address readiness, identify gaps, and develop plans to meet new requirements while strengthening cybersecurity operations and resilience across their organizations.

[Government Keynote] How the Workforce Must Evolve to Meet Growing Cyber Threats

• Anil Chaudhry, Senior Advisor; AI, Autonomy, and National Security, U.S. Dept. of Transportation

As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, agencies need more than new tools. They need a workforce equipped with the right skills, training and mindset to respond. Hear how government leaders are closing cybersecurity talent gaps, building cyber resilience across teams and preparing employees to defend against the next generation of threats.

[Lightning Keynote] The Cybersecurity Priorities Agencies Can’t Afford to Ignore

• Bryan Rosensteel, Head of Public Sector Product Marketing, Wiz

As agencies work to modernize systems, adopt AI, and meet evolving cybersecurity requirements, many are still grappling with limited visibility, growing complexity, and new security risks. In this session, you'll hear from a cybersecurity expert at Wiz about how agencies can strengthen their security posture, close gaps between policy and practice, and make smarter investments to protect critical systems and data.
