Alex Whitworth, Cybersecurity Solutions Executive at Carahsoft, highlighted how innovation from venture-backed companies is rapidly reshaping the government cybersecurity market. He emphasized the growing importance of “agentic AI” — artificial intelligence systems capable of detecting and responding to incidents autonomously — and its potential to transform areas like software supply chain security and ransomware defense. Whitworth also noted that new acquisition pathways, including the FedRAMP 20x initiative, are helping government adopt these technologies faster, while cultural shifts in venture capital are pushing firms to prioritize public sector markets earlier.

Key Takeaways

Agentic AI is driving toward the vision of self-healing networks and autonomous cyber defense.

Emerging tech in ransomware defense and security awareness training is closing critical gaps.
