Session 4: Reinventing the Network for Government
Speaker:
Mike Kraus, Enterprise Networking Systems Engineering Director, Cisco
As a leader in government IT, you know it’s time to transform your network into something more. But facing that reality can be daunting. As networks grow more complex, and cyberthreats increase, integration becomes more challenging. And for agencies, the network is increasingly connecting everything, adding even more risks. So what can you do?
Join us on Wednesday, November 14th at 2pm ET to hear how intent-based networking, an approach that lets you constantly adapt, protect, and inform across all your IT and business processes, can transform government networks.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
- How agencies can capture and translate business intent across the network to speed decision making, mitigate growing security threats, and manage even more connected devices.
- How intent-based networking lets you simplify and automate operations while enabling network intelligence that can detect and contain threats everywhere, in real time.
- How agencies can leverage network monitoring and analytics to pinpoint, report, and remedy issues before they escalate.
3:00 - 3:50pm ET / 12:00 - 12:50pm PT
Session 5: Moving Securely to the Cloud
Speakers:
Paul Dhanjal, Practice Director, Security Services
David Dawson, Vice President Business Development, AST
Government organizations at all levels are challenged with constraining budgets and increasing expectations for modern digital services, all while keeping risk and cyberthreats at bay. Traditional end-point security solutions or even application-based security solutions are simply not good enough to ensure unified security for your cloud applications.
How can organizations further minimize their costs and perform large-scale cloud deployments through a secure and shared platform? Join us from 3-3:50PM ET to hear experts discuss success stories of government agencies doing a “lift and shift” to harness the power of an integrated Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Specifically, you will learn how to:
- Turn security into a service enabler via technologies such as multi-factor authentication, user behavior analytics, trusted verified Identity, self-enablement and consent management.
- Ensure you have the right building blocks for a next-generation security platform.
- Look beyond current needs and address ongoing operational service management with a holistic security support team.
4:00 - 4:50pm ET / 1:00 - 1:50pm PT
Session 6: How Gov Can Reduce Waste, Fraud and Abuse with AI
Speakers:
Dave Vennergrund, Director, Data and Analytics, General Dynamics Information
Randall Knol, IT Specialist, Commerce Department's Census Bureau, Demographic Surveys Division Application Support & Innovation Branch
Preserving program integrity is a huge undertaking for the government. Consider that right now, federal agencies maintain more than 2,200 federal assistance programs that distribute more than $2 trillion per year in subsidies. Of that $2 trillion, approximately $125 billion is lost to fraudulent or improper payments each year. What if there was a way to better preserve program integrity by preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse? Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the cloud could be the solution.
Join us at 4pm ET/1pm PT as experts share success stories fighting fraud with data analytics and AI and ML. And looking to the future, how to leverage cloud-native artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and big data analytics helps government agencies reduce fraud, waste and abuse.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
- How investing in emerging tech can improve agencies’ fraud risk scorecards.
- How ML and AI are the future for agencies looking to increase efficiencies.
- How these services can be accessed rapidly, and economically through AWS.
