Building Resilience for the AI Era

OCTOBER 13, 2026 ◆ 12:00PM - 3:00PM ET ◆ VIRTUAL

About

Cyber resilience is no longer just about protecting systems, it’s about ensuring government can continue delivering critical services when disruption occurs.

As cyber threats evolve, public sector organizations face growing pressure to modernize infrastructure, secure identities, govern AI responsibly, and maintain mission continuity across increasingly complex environments. Success is no longer measured solely by preventing attacks, but by how quickly organizations can recover, adapt, and continue serving citizens, students, warfighters, and communities.

The Rubrik Public Sector Summit brings together leaders from Federal, State, Local, and Education organizations to explore practical strategies for building operational resilience. Through executive keynotes, customer panels, technical discussions, and real-world case studies, attendees will hear how agencies are preparing for today’s threats while building for tomorrow.
Topics include:
  • The evolving cyber threat landscape, including ransomware, nation-state activity, AI-driven attacks, and software supply chain risk
  • Identity resilience and securing Microsoft 365 and Active Directory
  • AI governance, security, and practical use cases for government
  • Cloud modernization, SaaS resilience, and protecting mission-critical applications
  • Incident response, recovery planning, and maintaining continuity of operations
  • Emerging policy, funding, and regulatory updates impacting public sector cybersecurity
Whether you’re developing cyber strategy, modernizing infrastructure, or strengthening operational resilience, you’ll leave with practical insights, peer perspectives, and actionable ideas you can bring back to your organization.
