About

As more of the Pentagon’s mission-critical workloads move to the cloud and the nation’s adversaries grow more sophisticated, disruptions will occur. How quickly these disruptions can be detected, understood, and resolved is paramount to mission success. This executive breakfast in Pentagon City brings together senior Department of War and U.S. military leaders in technology, cyber, and operations for a frank conversation about what operational resilience looks like when every second counts. Hosted by Datadog and presented by FedScoop, the discussion will tackle the hard questions: How do you compress time-to-detect when threats are evolving faster than your tools? How do you secure defense cloud environments while maintaining mission continuity? And how is AI-driven observability changing what's possible? As the DoW accelerates workloads into the cloud, including IL5 environments, the gap between visibility and vulnerability is closing. Join the leaders who are finding ways to close the gap today. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies to build infrastructure that's resilient, agile, and mission-ready. Adversaries don't pause. Neither can your infrastructure.
