As IT environments grow more complex, so do the risks - downtime, security threats and escalating costs. Traditional tools often fall short in preventing disruptions before they impact operations. Federal agencies need a smarter, more automated approach to resilience. With AI-powered remediation, observability, cost governance, and security working in unison, agencies can move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, intelligent resilience. Learn how this integrated approach helps optimize technology investments, ensure operational continuity, and drive measurable ROI across your hybrid IT landscape.

Quantum computing is advancing rapidly - with implications that extend across national security, critical infrastructure, and the long-term protection of sensitive data. Join the IBM Security Research team and leading government integration partners as they examine the emerging quantum threat landscape and what it means for critical federal systems. This conversation will unpack the current state of quantum-safe standards, NIST’s latest developments, and provide practical guidance on how agencies should approach discovery, prioritization, and crypto-agility. With real-world insights from public-private collaboration, this session will provide actionable guidance on implementing quantum-safe practices into modernization initiatives -ensuring that the nation’s most sensitive systems remain secure against emerging threats.
