The Google Defense Roadshow in Washington, DC, brought together mission-focused leaders to explore how defense organizations can harness the full power of cloud, edge, and AI to stay ahead in our high-stakes environment. Today’s defense operations demand secure, always-on access to data, whether in the cloud, at the edge, or across globally distributed networks. They also require the ability to detect and respond to emerging threats with speed and precision, and to leverage AI to translate information into action faster than ever before.

Experts convened in Washington, DC on August 14 to dive into real-world use cases and emerging technologies that drive mission success throughout the public sector. From resilient cloud and edge compute solutions to the latest in threat intelligence, post-quantum cryptography, and AI-driven decision support, attendees gained practical strategies to meet today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s missions.
