The federal attack surface is expanding, adversaries are more sophisticated than ever, and the mission cannot afford disruption. By deploying FortiWeb, agencies can move from reactive defenses to proactive resilience, allowing them to protect mission-critical applications, safeguard sensitive data, and ensure secure, reliable digital services for the public.

At the 16th annual Billington CyberSecurity Summit, government and industry leaders underscored how rapidly evolving technologies – especially artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing – are reshaping the threat landscape. They emphasized the urgent need to operationalize Zero Trust, modernize legacy systems, and strengthen resilience by bridging IT and OT environments.

As organizations continue to embrace digital transformation and expand their digital footprints, cybercriminals are evolving just as rapidly, if not faster. In its newly released 2025 Global Threat Landscape Report, Fortinet presents a comprehensive look at how the threat landscape is expected to shift over the next year, helping security leaders prepare for what’s coming next.

Fortinet Federal focuses on helping U.S. Government professionals meet these challenging requirements. As a leading provider of integrated, secure networking solutions, Fortinet Federal delivers converged networking and security capabilities that function in a single platform, enabling efficient management and resilient security.

The role of women in business has evolved significantly since Congress declared March as Women’s History Month in 1987. Today, women are increasingly visible and recognized for the contributions they make to all industries, including cybersecurity, but despite this progress they are only 24% of the cyber workforce.

Federal agencies face an immense challenge in updating aging IT and OT infrastructures that are susceptible to vulnerabilities and unable to deploy the newest and most effective cybersecurity strategies.

Resilience is “the ability to recover quickly from illness, change or misfortune.” In the IT universe, resiliency is the ability to react, rebound, and recover from infrastructure operational interruptions – from power outages and network failures to unauthorized intrusions and cyberattack.

For decades Federal agencies have invested in tools, methods, and strategies to defend enterprise networks, storage, data, and applications. Yet, threat actors continue to target U.S. Federal Government organizations.  In parallel, the significant expansion of the remote Federal workforce has accelerated the need for comprehensive and updated strategies to ensure cybersecurity across agency operations.

Learn about the challenges facing federal agencies adopting zero trust architectures and how to implement strategies moving forward.

Recognized thought leaders will bring their insights to the 2022 Security Transformation Summit to discuss evolving risks, challenges, and priorities for ensuring trusted cybersecurity for government in 2023 and beyond.

As work from anywhere becomes normalized, many government agencies are undergoing digital transformation to improve user experience, drive greater transparency for users, and overall modernization of IT.

In the United States, the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is being called a “once-in-a-generation investment” in infrastructure. A lot of that money will flow to state and local governments throughout the nation.
