Welcome to our Public Sector Cloud Security Summit!

As federal agencies expand cloud adoption, ensuring the integrity and resilience of the cloud supply chain has become increasingly critical. Agencies must manage risks associated with third-party providers, software dependencies, and complex vendor ecosystems while maintaining compliance with evolving federal cybersecurity and acquisition requirements.

This panel will explore strategies for strengthening cloud supply chain security through enhanced vendor risk management, software assurance, and improved visibility across cloud service providers. Panelists will discuss approaches to aligning supply chain risk management with federal frameworks, improving transparency through continuous monitoring, and fostering collaboration between government and industry to protect mission-critical cloud environments. Attendees will gain insights into balancing innovation, security, and operational resilience within the federal cloud supply chain.

As agencies modernize data and build AI applications, security is often the number one barrier to adoption. In this session Google’s Usman Chaudhary will share how agencies can develop and deploy AI systems securely from the ground up, and remain compliant with federal controls, by using the Secure AI Framework (SAIF). 

Federal agencies are increasingly adopting multi-cloud and hybrid architectures to improve flexibility, vendor diversification, and mission continuity. While these environments offer significant advantages, they also introduce new challenges in interoperability, cost management, security, and operational visibility.

This panel will examine how agencies are designing and managing multi-cloud environments while maintaining performance, compliance, and cost efficiency. Panelists will share approaches to workload portability, cloud governance, and operational automation, as well as lessons learned from integrating legacy systems into modern cloud ecosystems.

AI adoption is accelerating across federal agencies, expanding the attack surface beyond traditional cloud infrastructure. As models, copilots, and agents are introduced, risk now spans government data access, model behavior, and AI-driven actions—often with limited visibility. This session explores how AI is reshaping the public sector threat landscape, why AI creates a unique visibility and compliance challenge, and how agency security teams can secure the use of AI, including the role and maturity of AI agents, without slowing down mission delivery.

Cloud computing is playing a critical role in enabling advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making across government agencies. Scalable cloud infrastructure allows agencies to manage growing data volumes while supporting emerging technologies that enhance operational efficiency and citizen services.

During this session, federal technology leaders will discuss how cloud platforms are accelerating AI adoption, enabling data integration across legacy systems, and supporting high-performance computing workloads. Panelists will also examine governance considerations, data management challenges, and best practices for building trusted cloud environments that support responsible and mission-aligned AI deployment.
