The global pandemic has challenged Public Sector organizations at every level. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been at the center of the storm in the United States, helping to combat the disease on a variety of fronts. HHS CIO Perryn Ashmore and Oracle EVP Mike Sicilia describe the agency’s nimble response, creating innovative and scalable technology solutions in a matter of days – not weeks or months – to help determine which drugs are most effective treating COVID-19.

Mr. Dovarius Peoples, CIO for the US Army Corps of Engineers, shares his perspective on how technology partnerships will play a critical role in his organization's modernization and innovation plans with a focus on 2021 and beyond. The Corps has more than 37,000 dedicated civilians and soldiers delivering critical engineering services to customers in more than 130 countries worldwide, as well as maintaining America’s infrastructure.

Learn how your agency can begin its cloud journey. David Knox, CTO, Oracle Public Sector, moderates a lively panel discussion that helps agencies create a specific plan of action. This practical session offers insights from those who have been there – with executives from Accenture, Mythics and RackWare providing real-world steps you can take advantage of immediately.

Transforming an agency’s technology infrastructure starts with a plan. Join us and learn from those who have been there: A roundtable discussion with federal government leaders along with industry IT executives sharing how they leveraged hybrid cloud technologies to transform both Data Management and Enterprise Applications – all while reducing costs and increasing mission agility.

Defense and Intelligence agencies rely on secure, high-performance infrastructure to deliver insightful, timely and actionable intelligence. Now, there is a cloud built to accelerate these data- and processing-intensive workloads on classified networks –- and all the way to the mission edge. With rich analytic, AI, and machine learning frameworks, Oracle’s cloud-native and no-code platforms enable faster discovery, real-time visualization, and predictive insights. Move your Secret and Top-Secret missions to the cloud with confidence – and without compromise. Oracle National Security Group’s Senior Vice President Glen Dodson delivers opening remarks for this information-packed session with government and industry perspectives on data strategy and cloud powered mission analytics.

Department of Defense Chief Data Officer David Spirk updates his efforts to transform the Department into a data-centric enterprise.

Director of Events at Government Executive Media Group George Jackson interviews Vice President, NSG Strategic Business Development at Oracle. They will discuss Bus’ perspective as it pertains to analytics and the benefits when government and industry collaborate.

Learn how Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are scaling analytics with Oracle Cloud. Mark Tatum, Vice President of Cloud and Mission Technology in Oracle’s National Security Group, will lead a discussion with IDenTV and Idemia NSS to highlight how they leverage Oracle Cloud to solve real-world defense and intelligence challenges.

Healthcare practitioners describe how they used technology to streamline testing, trials, and treatment related to COVID-19.

Industry technology leaders describe how best practices developed during the COVID-19 response can apply to all government agencies.

Oracle’s Safra Catz and Julie Sweet of Accenture describe the companies’ extraordinary partnership, what the pandemic taught them about leadership and learning from customers, and how to think anew about next-generation cloud services.

The U.S. Dept. of Defense (DoD) is the largest employer in the world with approximately 3.2 million employees. When it comes to its civilian workforce (about 900,000 employees) the DoD requires highly motivated, skilled, and productive staff to enable its workforce. To support and enable these qualities, the DoD needed to streamline and integrate HR processes across the organization and empower the workforce to operate more efficiently and effectively. In this session, learn how the DoD is leveraging Oracle Cloud HCM to provide a simplified and intuitive end-user experience that fosters and encourages the productivity of its civilian workforce.

The federal government, industry, and the critical infrastructure organizations they support face a common and unprecedented threat -- sophisticated and often crippling cyber-attacks that show no signs of slowing. It’s a challenge complicated by a significant shortage of skilled cyber-security professionals and varying levels of organizational preparedness. This summer, lawmakers introduced the bipartisan International Cybercrime Prevention Act – but it only represents one step toward a comprehensive cyber response for the United States. Meanwhile, government and industry leaders understand these attacks demand intelligent, pervasive, and automated security solutions. Oracle SVP Pat Mungovan welcomes speakers from the Federal Chief Information Security Officer Council, MITRE, and Oracle for important discussions of recent events and how organizations can prepare for these new cyber-threat realities.

This future-focused discussion highlights trends like ransomware, cyber espionage, and attacks targeting critical infrastructure systems. It also covers how policy, legislation, and cloud security engineering have evolved to address those challenges and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be applied going forward.

This discussion highlights some of the Federal CISO Council’s top priorities and examines President Biden’s sweeping Cybersecurity Executive Order. Attendees will also receive an update on the administration’s effort to modernize the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) and a vision for how increased spending via the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) could impact agencies’ cyber defenses.

Introduction and opening remarks

Learn what steps federal IT leaders need to take to successfully implement a multi-cloud strategy.

When moving to a multi-cloud environment how can agencies ensure operators can find the right data, have secure access to it and act quickly? From integration to security, we’ll tackle questions around this critical element of a multi-cloud strategy.

Today's fast-moving government agencies must think holistically about security processes across every aspect of an IT organization. With remote work, decentralized workplaces and a host of devices, the need to think about security as a shared responsibility is an imperative. A modern approach to DevSecOps can enable innovation while ensuring transparency, improving time to response, and driving down operational costs. Join GovExec and Oracle at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, March 14, when we engage a panel of government leaders and industry experts to explore new ways of integrating technology development, security, and operations.

Data in all its forms remains the lifeblood of any agency. Managing, securing and distributing data across massive federal organizations is a necessary process but also can be time-consuming, expensive and can pull resources away from core missions. New technologies exist today that can help government leaders rethink how they allocate their resources and ultimately improve mission success. Automation, already prevalent in so many applications and technologies, is also available for today’s database administrators and business stakeholders – making it far easier to develop and deploy workloads no matter what the data source or how complex and large the project. Join GovExec and Oracle on Thursday, April 14 at 1 p.m. ET as we evaluate how agencies can employ automated resources to protect sensitive data, patch vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized access — and how doing so can reimagine the possibilities of data for most every workload.
