Modern government operations run on data. As strategic competition intensifies and adversaries accelerate investment in their own digital capabilities, the infrastructure underpinning defense, intelligence, and allied coordination has become as consequential as any weapons system. Cloud technology is transforming how agencies operate, how coalitions share information, and how sensitive information is protected across borders and theaters. Yet the gap between what is possible and what is deployed remains a critical vulnerability, and no government can close it alone. In this conversation, leaders from the technology sector examine how public-private partnerships are driving the digital transformation of government infrastructure at home and abroad, what it takes to build interoperable systems resilient enough to meet the demands of strategic competition, and whether the frameworks governing these partnerships are moving at the speed the mission requires.
