Securing the Complex Ecosystem of Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud environments are more prevalent than ever across federal agencies. It has become apparent that hybrid cloud delivers additional capability across the enterprise to support a vast array of government missions—from enabling data access in remote locations to layering on Artificial Intelligence applications. The flip side to this enhanced capability are new attack vectors and vulnerabilities that emerge as a result of hybrid architecture. On September 25, 2019 the Center for Public Policy Innovation (CPPI) and Homeland Security Dialogue Forum (HSDF) convened a policy symposium to explore strategies for the development and deployment of AI. The wide-ranging discussion highlighted current use case scenarios, the importance of data to accelerate AI adoption, and the need for industry-government collaboration in the United States to stay ahead of adversaries in this area.
