Accelerating AI Adoption in Federal Agencies

Immerse yourself in the world of Intrusion Detection in our Cyber Range Blue Team Capture The Flag (CTF) game, Haystack. Your mission is to follow the trail of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and spot the tell-tale signs of cyber threats. It's a mix of fun, challenge, and learning - an experience you don't want to miss!

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce Red Team Tools Bloodhound and Impacket that are within the Security Testing Suite learning path. These mini-labs walk users through post-exploitation security tools that they may use during a Cyber Range red team event. This learning path will teach you the fundamentals of comprehensive penetration testing tools such as Bloodhound, Impacket and other tools like Mimikatz and BurpSuite.

As AI adoption accelerates, so do the threats targeting its infrastructure. Join Cisco and WWT for a deep dive into the evolving landscape of AI security. This virtual event will explore how organizations can defend against AI-specific threats like data poisoning, model tampering, and prompt injection. Learn how Cisco's AI Defense platform, integrated with NVIDIA's AI Factory and tools like Splunk and ServiceNow, provides real-time visibility, model validation, and runtime protection to secure AI systems at scale. Discover how to future-proof your enterprise with a security-first architecture designed for the speed and complexity of modern AI.

Cloud marketplaces are designed to help optimize cloud costs. But for all the potential they offer, we've found our client base can struggle to extract the full value of cloud marketplaces. Join WWT's Joshua Bushman and Lauren Fleming, both authors of the recently published Cloud Marketplace Maturity Model report, as they talk about a framework for simplifying, streamlining and scaling how organizations buy, deploy and manage cloud solutions across their business.

The relationship between AI and cloud is increasingly sybmiotic. Growing investment in cloud is driving faster adoption and spend on artificial intelligence (AI), while the majority of AI applications are developed in the cloud. AI can be used to automate complex tasks in cloud computing, optimize system performance, and improve user experience; while cloud computing provides the computing resources and infrastructure needed to train and deploy AI models at scale. Join Neil Anderson, who leads WWT's cloud and infrastructure practice, as he dives into the implications AI is having on cloud, and vice versa. Neil talks with detail about how AI is affecting cloud cost management and optimization, how IT leaders can secure use of AI in their cloud solutions, how high performance architectures needed to run AI will impact cloud strategies and common AI applications best suited for the cloud.

The MicDrop Capture the Flag (CTF) event will highlight Rubrik Security Cloud's (RSC) key features, helping customers understand how RSC provides cyber resiliency for their organizations. Features highlighted include: ✅ Data Protection – Back up and recover files, databases, and VMs to ensure data availability and ransomware resilience. ✅ Data Threat Analytics – Leverage IOCs, YARA rules, and hashes to detect and analyze potential threats. ✅ Cyber Recovery – Utilize automated, network-isolated recovery methods to restore operations securely and perform forensic analysis. ✅ Data Security Posture – Identify and monitor sensitive data exposure to improve security and compliance. ✅ Ruby - Rubrik's new generative AI assistant, your on-demand RSC expert This hands-on experience will provide insight into how these tools work together to protect, detect, and recover from cyber threats by demonstrating their value in an engaging CTF format using a real-world ransomware scenario.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco Passive Optical Networks (PON) learning path and lab. Cisco's Routed Passive Optical Network (PON) solution differs from traditional PON solutions by having the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) exist as a pluggable transceiver in a router rather than a dedicated device. This learning path will cover the basics of how Cisco's Routed PON solution works and how to operate it.

Businesses across the world are turning to automation to drive efficiency and simplicity. But for many, automation doesn't work as quickly or seamlessly as they'd like. In most cases, that's because leaders are thinking of operations from an operations and infrastructure perspective. There's a third equally critical component — automated platforms — that must be considered. Join WWT Senior Practice Manager for Automation Phillip Palmer as he discusses how automated platforms relate to other core areas of automation, such as infrastructure and operations. Phillip also talks about the teams and roles that stand to be most impacted by automation initiatives and how organizations can work toward automation unlocking a self-service model moving forward.
