Theater #1: Secure by Design: Maximizing Business Value and Cyber Resilience - Leveraging Identity Security for Mission Impact

Description

As federal agencies push forward with modernization, cloud adoption, and automation, the drive for operational efficiency is reshaping how the government delivers on its mission. But in the race to streamline and digitize, couple with achieving these objectives with less budget and resources, many organizations are overlooking a critical control point—identity security. The consequences? Expanded attack surfaces, delayed audit responses, and cybersecurity risks that leadership can’t afford to ignore.

This value-focused session explores how identity is no longer a back-office nice to have, but a strategic enabler of both cybersecurity and mission speed. Attendees will learn how federal efficiency efforts can unintentionally expose agencies to risk—and how identity-first strategies can mitigate that risk while accelerating transformation. Drawing on real-world examples, policy alignment, and proven practices, this session will arm agency leaders with the insight and tools to lead secure, scalable modernization from the top down.

Key Takeaways:

· Understand how efficiency-based initiatives can inadvertently increase cybersecurity risk.

· Discover why identity is the foundation of Zero Trust and secure modernization.

· Learn how to embed identity security into cloud, AI, and automation efforts.

· Walk away with actionable steps to assess and improve your agency’s identity posture.
