EMERGE: Modern Government 2026
About the Security Event
The EMERGE: Modern Government event focuses on how federal agencies can modernize outdated systems and create technology environments that support faster and more secure mission delivery. It highlights how innovation, including AI driven automation and modern software development, can help agencies strengthen operational resilience while improving reliability and reducing risk. This is directly relevant to cybersecurity because modernizing government systems requires secure architecture, stronger identity controls, and improved protection across federal networks.
Attendees explore how government and industry can collaborate to upgrade legacy infrastructure, introduce commercial best practices, and enhance the overall user experience. Discussions center on reducing fragmentation across systems and building connected solutions that support secure and scalable operations. By encouraging smarter adoption of emerging technologies, the event emphasizes how modernization and cybersecurity must work together to create a safer and more efficient government technology environment.
