Emerging Leaders Disruptive by Design: Utilizing Existing Enterprise Systems to Combat Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Description

As government agencies often experience pressure to acquire new tools to address emerging threats, capabilities of current enterprise systems are often overlooked. Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) is a significant concern that manifests uniquely across various organizations, as risks range from outstanding financial losses to national security vulnerabilities. This panel examines how agencies can leverage their existing enterprise systems to reduce FWA, providing actionable strategies for integrating existing software to proactively address unique FWA challenges. Effective detection, prevention, and mitigation of FWA demands extensive industry knowledge and advanced technical capability integrated with a comprehensive understanding of a federal agency’s organizational context – its people, processes, and systems. This panel also explores the critical harnessing of available data and tools, supported by deep domain expertise, to understand how and why FWA challenges impact organization missions and operations. Additionally, the discussion will highlight software-centric Department of Defense (DoD) approaches with a focus on scalability and flexibility to reduce FWA. This panel examines how agencies can leverage their existing enterprise systems—across both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments—to reduce FWA, providing actionable strategies for integrating existing software to proactively address unique FWA challenges. This panel will also discuss additional technical benefits such as if implementing enterprise software solutions in a network architecture could improve the security posture of that network, reduce risk of data loss, improve data visibility and insights, and more. As the Department of Defense and other federal agencies emphasize the need to better keep pace with rapidly evolving commercial technologies, this panel will consider whether enterprise software can play a pivotal role in supporting that effort.
