As AI accelerates both cyber offense and cyber defense, how should public sector organizations prepare? In this expert panel from ROCon Public Sector 2026, presented by Qualys in partnership with GovExec, leaders from the CIA, NIST, the University of Maryland’s Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security, and Qualys discuss how AI is reshaping cybersecurity strategy, risk management, and incident response. The conversation explores the real-world opportunities and risks of AI in cyber defense—from autonomous detection and response to governance, workforce transformation, secure AI adoption, and defending increasingly complex environments against AI-enabled adversaries. As agencies face mounting pressure to move faster while protecting critical systems, this session offers practical insight into what cybersecurity leadership looks like in the age of AI.
