About the Event

Constantly changing, high-velocity, and sophisticated cyber attacks pose a critical threat to government systems ill-equipped to defend against them. As legacy technologies collide with the speed of threats in the 21st century, how can government leaders prepare for and build the next generation of cyber defenses? Artificial intelligence offers a unique tool for public sector leaders to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. However, in order to fully leverage the potential of AI to identify and respond to cyberthreats, agencies need to begin preparing their data, operations, and workforce today.

During this event, we will explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence to transform government cybersecurity, while also highlighting what questions to consider, data models to build, and architectures to implement and in order to prepare for the future of AI-enabled cybersecurity.

Agenda

1:00 PM	Welcome Remarks Rick Piña, Chief Technology Advisor, Public Sector, WWT
1:05 PM	Unlocking the Next Generation of Cybersecurity What is a truly intelligent cyber response? During this thought leadership spotlight, WWT and its partners will walk through the possibilities that artificial intelligence holds in a world where humans simply cannot keep up with cyber threats. This thought-provoking session will showcase the possibilities of AI-enabled cybersecurity via use cases such as insider threat detection and threat modeling. Christopher Cleary, Chief Information Security Officer, Navy Moderator: John Evans, Chief Technology Advisor, WWT
1:35 PM	Stretch and Explore
1:50 PM	Building Blocks of Cybersecurity AI With a large gap between the possibilities of AI-enabled cybersecurity and government systems, how can agencies begin preparing now to leverage these capabilities in the future? This fireside chat will dive into the practical steps that agencies need to pursue around organizing their data, operations, and architecture in order to benefit from a resilient AI-powered cyber system going forward. Dr. Adam Cardinal-Stakenas, Chief, Data Science Research Division, National Security Agency’s Research Directorate Martin Stanley, Senior Advisor for Artificial Intelligence, CISA, Department of Homeland Security Dr. Matt Turek, Program Manager, Information Innovation Office, DARPA Moderator: Rick Piña, Chief Technology Advisor, Public Sector, WWT
