Federal cybersecurity is changing fast. In this session from ROCon Public Sector 2026, presented by Qualys in partnership with GovExec, Katie Arrington, CIO of IONQ, joins Frank Konkel, Editor-in-Chief of GovExec, for a timely discussion on how public sector organizations must adapt as cyber threats accelerate. The conversation explores the growing role of AI in cyber defense, the urgency around autonomous remediation, how agencies should think about operational cyber resilience instead of static compliance models, and why quantum computing may reshape the future of cybersecurity far sooner than many expect. As federal agencies face increasingly sophisticated threats, expanding attack surfaces, and pressure to modernize faster than traditional procurement and compliance cycles allow, this discussion offers perspective on what the next phase of cyber risk operations may require.
