On March 3, join leaders from across government, educational institutions, and industry for the 2026 Zscaler Public Sector Summit at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. to explore how Zero Trust Everywhere and AI-driven security approaches protect critical systems, safeguard sensitive data, and empower agencies to maintain trust in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Attackers don’t need a quantum computer to start winning with quantum. They just need time. That premise – that adversaries can siphon encrypted data today and hold it until tomorrow’s decryption becomes possible – framed the conversation in “Cybersecurity in Focus: Acting Today Against Tomorrow’s Threat,” a Red Hat Government Symposium session. […]
A new era of government operations is taking shape – one powered by artificial intelligence (AI). What was once experimental is now transformational, as agencies harness AI to reimagine workflows, accelerate decision-making, and meet rising mission demands. […]
“We are drowning in data, but we are starved for knowledge,” Zhong Wang, a computational biologist and staff scientist at the Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), said recently, paraphrasing Nobel laureate Sydney Brenner. […]
MeriTalk recently sat down with Matt Marsden, senior director of technical solutions – federal at Palo Alto Networks, to discuss how platformization enables greater operational effectiveness, why crypto-agility matters now, and the practical steps agency leaders can take today to build an identity-aware, AI-ready, and quantum-resistant future. […]
Mission partner environments (MPEs) are moving from static, stove-piped networks to dynamic, warfighting fabrics that deliver seamless interoperability – enabling the U.S. and allied partners to share data securely and act on it at operational speed. […]
As agencies race to put generative artificial intelligence (AI) into production, many are confronting the same challenge: The bigger and more “all-in-one” the model gets, the harder it becomes to predict outcomes, explain decisions, and demonstrate accountability. […]
The push to modernize government IT is colliding with a hard reality: The most important data isn’t always generated where networks are strong, cloud connectivity is reliable, or power and cooling are abundant. […]
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is accelerating long-planned technology upgrades to meet today’s air traffic realities: more flights, new entrants like drones, and rising expectations for resiliency after recent system and workforce impacts. Ongoing efforts to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS) and the Trump administration’s plan to overhaul the nation’s air traffic control system underscore the urgency. […]
Municipal governments are under continued pressure to save money while delivering more and better services, noted John Dvorak, chief technology officer for public sector at Red Hat, during the recent Red Hat Government Symposium. […]
