About This Event

As cyber threats grow more advanced and persistent, government agencies are moving away from traditional perimeter-based defenses. Zero Trust is gaining traction as a critical security framework that requires continuous verification of users, devices, and systems to protect sensitive data and infrastructure. As adoption grows, agencies are facing real-world challenges in implementation, balancing emerging technologies like AI, and preparing the workforce to operate within this new model. Join ATARC, NextGov/FCW, and Washington Technology for Cybersecurity Futures: Built on Zero Trust, a forward-looking summit bringing together federal cybersecurity leaders and industry innovators. This event will explore how Zero Trust is reshaping the public sector’s approach to securing systems, data, and users across increasingly complex digital environments. Through engaging keynotes, panel discussions, and expert insights, participants will examine implementation strategies, workforce readiness, AI’s role in threat detection, and the evolving policy landscape. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with those charting the future of cybersecurity in government.
