Join United States Digital Service Director of Engineering Maya Israni in conversation with FCW’s Chris Riotta. The two discuss trends, best practices, and strategies for public sector IT Modernization. 

Federal agencies have made huge strides in modernizing their use of technology. From customer experience to cybersecurity and leveraging AI and ML, agencies are tackling these challenges head-on. New legislature like the Executive Order on Customer Experience and the White House AI Bill of Rights aims to provide agencies with a framework and path forward towards delivering citizen services through a more simple, efficient, and secure experience.

How do agencies tackle these legislative challenges and utilize modern identity solutions that strike the right balance between secure and compliant and a smooth user experience?

Defense Information Systems Agency CIO and Director of Enterprise Integration and Innovation Center, Roger Greenwell, presents on the past, present, and future of technology modernization across the agency.

Jay Fohs, Veritas’ Federal Account Manager and Customer Advocate, realizes that organizations today struggle to adopt, integrate, and manage the enterprise data that moves through their systems. Data may be the currency that drives business, but without a holistic enterprise data management strategy, businesses are unable to harness its full value. Join us for a conversation on how Veritas protects your data regardless of where it resides and helps you modernize from varying points of view. 

Take this time to stretch your legs, grab a snack, and network with your peers!

Charles Worthington, CTO at the US Department of Veterans Affairs, discusses his agency’s approach to complex modernization challenges, and explores what challenges remain in delivering modern services to citizens.

As agencies work to keep pace with the digital expectations of their users – both employees and citizens – hyperautomation may prove to be an effective modernization approach. Hyperautomation is the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Low/No Code Development into the transformation strategy of business processes. While the potential benefits of hyperautomation are clear, many organizations are hesitant to embrace it, fearing a loss of control and oversight over their applications. In this session, we will explore how hyperautomation is not only achievable, but how it can transform the way organizations operate. We will provide real-world examples of how government agencies and private sector companies are successfully implementing hyperautomation to move their digitization goals forward. We will discuss practical strategies for achieving hyperautomation in government without sacrificing control or oversight of your organization's application footprint. You will leave this session equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to harness the power of hyperautomation to drive innovation and growth within your organization.

Office of Personnel Management CIO, Guy Cavallo, previews his organization’s approach to implementing efficient digital citizen experiences, and shares what steps they're taking to further modernize a government that works for all.

Zero Trust has become an overloaded industry buzzword.  Even with NIST and DoD publications attempting to explain what it is, much confusion remains about what, exactly, Zero Trust means, how to adopt it, and what problems it can and can’t solve.  In this session we’ll break down Zero Trust into simple concepts that will help equip you for a deeper dive.
