Reassessing Modernization Priorities

Organized by Datadog

The recent pause in government operations has given agencies an opportunity to step back and reassess their modernization priorities. As federal IT leaders plan for 2026, many are taking a fresh look at their portfolios—reevaluating risk, reestablishing momentum on paused initiatives, and sharpening their focus on resilience, security, and mission impact. Rather than slowing progress, the pause created space for agencies to uncover hidden gaps and reexamine cybersecurity posture. This period of reflection is enabling teams to identify blind spots, surface critical technical debt, and make more informed, data-driven modernization decisions. Join thought leaders in government and industry for a strategic conversation on how visibility, security, and compliance can help agencies modernize with clarity, efficiency, and confidence.
