SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversations | Smarter Defense: AI in Federal Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:Federal cybersecurity is entering a new phase of complexity and urgency. As threat actors become more sophisticated and persistent\, agencies are turning to artificial intelligence to strengthen detection\, accelerate response\, and operate more effectively at scale. At the same time\, questions around trust\, governance\, and implementation are shaping how these technologies are adopted. \nJoin us for a brief panel discussion followed by an informal Cocktails & Conversations happy hour\, where speakers and attendees can continue the dialogue in a relaxed setting. Together\, we will explore how AI-driven tools are transforming threat defense\, what is working in practice\, and where challenges remain across the federal landscape. \nThis gathering is designed to encourage open discussion around emerging threats\, real world applications\, and shared priorities. It offers space to connect\, exchange perspectives\, and build relationships beyond the panel. \nIdeal for federal leaders\, cybersecurity professionals\, and industry partners alike\, this event blends timely insights with meaningful conversation to help participants navigate today’s evolving threat environment and prepare for what is ahead. \nGet directions: 525 9th Street NW\, Suite 600\, Washington\, DC  20004 \nThe closest metro stops are Archives-Navy Memorial\, Gallery Place-Chinatown\, Judiciary Square\, Federal Triangle\, and Metro Center. \nCome for the view\, stay for the connections.
