GovSummit is returning to the nation’s capital on Wednesday, December 11. We’re thrilled to bring together innovative public sector leaders for this free, industry-leading event. Registration is now open! Join us as we demonstrate how you can deliver on the nation’s cyber strategy with Splunk.
About GovSummit
GovSummit is Splunk’s largest, free annual event focused on providing public sector leaders insights into the latest cybersecurity trends and how agencies are mobilizing to meet challenges like implementing zero trust. This year’s theme centers around how digital resilience powers your mission. We will not offer GovSummit virtually this year; this will be an in-person event only.
Invited speakers hail from Federal, State, Local and higher education organizations and several private sector companies focused on cyber security, data protection, and cloud computing and storage.

Public sector organisations are in the middle of a massive digital transformation. This transformation also opens new avenues for cyberthreats and expands the attack surface. The traditional approach is to collect data at the rapidly eroding perimeter, subsequently ignoring users as they continue into the network. Zero-trust architectures require government departments to continuously monitor, detect, evaluate, and enforce policy as users move about the network.
