June Chapter Meeting
June 11, 2026
6:00-8:00pm PST
Topic: Future-Proofing the Public Sector: CyberPlan 2028
Public sector cybersecurity program managers are currently fighting cyberthreats with security models from 25 years ago. It’s like responding to a cyberattack with a fax machine and a phone tree. Today’s emerging technologies—natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), generative AI, and semi-autonomous agents—offer powerful new capabilities to streamline and scale cyber operations if the public sector can mobilize its act together to take advantage. Simply buying new tech, even AI-enabled security tools, isn’t enough. The talk will look ahead two years and present an achievable future state program for public sector cybersecurity leadership. It will define and detail the changes needed in the current cybersecurity leadership/management structure and their teams to get the best from emerging AI technologies and will delve into the emerging vendor risks with AI Agents.
Host: Paul Grabow
Paul has been in this field since the early ’90s, building and leading the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms IT security branch for over 13 years. He understands public sector unique challenges. Instead of rehashing the usual “cyber is changing” narrative, He is presenting an original, practitioner-driven vision: a Future-State Cybersecurity Program Model that’s realistic and actionable for this sector.
