Initial data system modernization focused on improving key public processes like legal, financial, public health, and other services. As the public’s needs change over time, these siloed capabilities have become challenging to navigate for questions that span capabilities. Rethinking data management systems often requires an entirely new technical and bureaucratic approach. Join our panelists discussion to hear how using Google Cloud is helping to make these transitions possible, and how these changes have improved service delivery across a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

Collaboration has taken many forms over the years, from face-to-face conversations, to conference calls and emails, and now text messages and files that multiple people can edit at the same time. Will there ever be one perfect tool to rule them all and solve stovepiping for good? What role does culture play in ensuring both collaboration and focus time for government agencies? And is it possible to do this all securely and with limited funding? 

Join Sandra Joyce, EVP of Mandiant Intelligence, as she highlights the global cyber threat landscape. Discover the latest cyber espionage, financial crime, and information operations, targeting governments and organizations around the world.

NOAA Fisheries is responsible for the stewardship of the nation's ocean resources and habitat. They provide vital services all backed by sound science and an ecosystem-based approach to management, while leading in emerging and innovative technologies. NOAA Fisheries has the goal of constructing a modernized IT system approach that includes analytics, machine learning, cloud technology, and artificial intelligence to inform enforcement staff to combat Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Specifically, the Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) wants to uncover new ways to identify IUU fish activity and quickly translate that information into visual and intuitive actionable tools. 

Join this session to learn how OLE staff can use various data streams, leveraging predictive analytic algorithms to automate and alert on specified scenarios, allocate monitoring resources more effectively, and enhance case documentation.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to cloud. Join our panelists to discuss how diversifying your cloud strategy can help teams be more agile and flexible, giving them the opportunity to bring the best tools to each mission without limiting choice. Panelists will offer insights into hybrid and multi-cloud models that can help achieve mission success.

To keep sensitive assets and information secure, government agencies have been mandated to implement zero trust architectures to level up their cybersecurity and build resilience across their networks. A zero trust architecture is a dramatic shift from the norms practiced for decades. In this discussion, we’ll explore how to overcome the challenges of adopting a zero trust architecture and the practical ways agencies can build their multi-year roadmap to address the modernization of government cybersecurity practices and risk frameworks. 

Government agencies don’t have the time or resources to rip and replace legacy systems, yet tapping into new innovations to access and analyze their data more efficiently can be challenging in a legacy environment. That’s where APIs come in. APIs are called "the connector of things". From the front lines to the office, APIs connect disparate systems, giving everyone visibility into data spread across an enterprise. This session will explore what APIs are, what they do, and how to get started using them. Hear real-world examples of how agencies are realizing cost savings and efficiencies, eliminating system silos, and consolidating best of breed technologies to digitize using APIs to achieve real mission impact.

Government technology leaders play a precarious balancing act between innovation, modernization, security, and compliance. But security and compliance don’t have to be roadblocks to innovation. With an agile approach to cloud and the right tools, agencies can achieve modernization and transformation goals while innovating for the mission and meeting Federal security and compliance requirements. Join this session to learn about Assured Workloads, Workspace Assured Controls, Client-Side Encryption, and other cloud tools that help tech teams achieve compliance with confidence.

Many of today’s government organizations are required to have a global footprint.  And with that reach comes heightened risk. It is critical for organizations like the United Nations, State Department, and USAID to innovate their approach to cybersecurity in order to level the playing field against malicious threat actors who continue to evolve their attack techniques.  Foremost among the innovations that global organizations are pursuing are Zero Trust and a modernization of security operations.  In both areas, Google Cloud can play a critical role to complement or augment existing security solutions or to power a more comprehensive cybersecurity transformation.   

In recent years, agencies across government have had to shift the way they work. While some agencies have always had remote staff, most work was done in collaborative offices. Now, things are different, and agencies are now embracing the new reality.

Google Workspace empowers the mobile workforce by ensuring security and making it easier to get work done whether it’s for remote needs, on the frontline, or knowledge management. Join this session to hear government leaders share insights and best practices on thriving in hybrid work environments.

Whether on the front lines, in the office, or working from home, today’s government workforce requires the right tools at the right time to help them get their jobs done seamlessly and securely. How do you put technology into the hands of people making a difference? In this session, we’ll explore the types of technologies that empower the federal and military workforce to be more productive and effective.
