As AI gives adversaries new ways to probe for weaknesses and connect seemingly minor exposures, waiting for an alert or SOC ticket can leave government security teams playing from behind. But what if your security team could study an attack aimed at your environment before that attack ever reached your environment? 

Join Government Technology for a hands-on look at proactive cyber defense and a new approach that uses a digital twin of an organization’s environment to attract real-world adversary activity. See how security teams can gather intelligence about attack behavior without putting the production environment at risk — then use that intelligence to identify attack paths, prioritize threats and prepare defenses earlier.

You’ll also see the technology at work in a live demo, including the dashboard, telemetry and threat activity that can feed existing security operations and other environments. If your cyber strategy starts when an alert fires, this session will show you what it looks like to start sooner.

Why attend:

  • Watch a live demo of the dashboard, telemetry and threat activity
  • See how a digital twin works without exposing production systems
  • Learn how to act earlier with intelligence gathered before an attack hits
