The technology investments that government makes today will translate into the mission-edge advantages that are crucial to meeting emerging challenges, and the Red Hat Government Symposium on Nov. 19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Washington, D.C., is inviting you to gain the very latest intelligence from the senior defense and civilian agency leaders who are putting technology into action today.
What’s going on in the Federal technology world that makes the Red Hat Government Symposium so compelling? In a word, plenty:
- The push for cloud-driven modernization of technology operations continues to build toward maximum force, with agencies like the Defense Information Systems Agency expanding domestic and overseas cloud capabilities, and the Department of Homeland Security looking to transition its massive biometric identity management systems to cloud-based architectures.
- The Federal government’s approach to harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is rapidly gaining clarity with high marks for first-year progress across all agencies on implementing the Biden administration’s AI Executive Order, work to stand up the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Safety Institute, and the White House’s new National Security Memorandum (NSM) on Artificial Intelligence issued late last month.
- A government-wide effort to adopt AI technology to improve cybersecurity operations is in full swing, with AI tech topping DISA’s fiscal year 2025 technology wish list, MITRE Corp. featuring cybersecurity among its first three use cases for the research center’s new Federal AI Sandbox, and Defense Department CISO David McKeown who is looking at AI’s ability to improve threat detection and response capabilities.
And that’s just scratching the surface on government tech initiatives that are running deep all across Federal agencies. To tell the next chapters of those ongoing efforts, the Red Hat Government Symposium is featuring a blue-chip list of private sector technology experts and Federal government tech leaders including:
