State and local governments are on the front lines of a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, where artificial intelligence is changing how attacks are carried out and how defenses are built. Adversaries use AI to automate and scale their efforts, making attacks faster and more targeted, while state and local teams must protect critical infrastructure, public safety systems, and resident data with limited resources and growing risk. This session will explore how state and local cybersecurity leaders are using AI to strengthen detection, response, and overall resilience. Speakers will share how they are improving visibility across distributed environments, prioritizing threats, and responding in real time. The conversation will also examine how threat actors are evolving, what that means for states, cities, and counties, and how leaders can better prepare for future threats.
