From advanced persistent threats (APT), evolving ransomware trends, or compliance mandates like the Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO), government agencies face unique cybersecurity risk decisions. They need to balance budgeting and staffing constraints with securing critical infrastructures, like healthcare, financial systems, and national defense.
At the 2022 Security Transformation Summit presented by Fortinet Federal and produced by FedScoop and StateScoop, public sector cybersecurity and IT management professionals will hear government and industry leaders discuss 2023 priorities, including ways to include future-proofing security into evolving digital modernization initiatives.

Additional Sessions at the 2022 Security Transformation Summit
This year’s Summit addresses the most important trends across the Federal space. Here are a few of the key discussions to expect from this year’s event:
Digital Modernization
Amid rapid digital transformation, IT footprints have grown, and Federal agencies need additional human and computer resources to keep up.
The Summit includes the following sessions addressing the Federal need to modernize IT:
- The Convergence of Security and Networking
- Security in a Multi-Cloud World, featuring Brian Epley, PDCIO, Department of Energy
- Modernizing Cybersecurity on the Path to Digital Transformation
Zero Trust Architectures
Implementing zero trust architectures requires agencies to take a systematic approach to security that requires verification any time an application, user, or device wants to communicate.
Beyond the fireside chat, the Summit also includes a keynote address from Chris Cleary, Principal Advisor Cybersecurity, Dept. of Navy, titled, “The Military’s Journey to Zero Trust and Better Cyber.”
