Welcome to the second half of 2026, where the federal technology landscape has reached a decisive turning point—moving from high-level policy frameworks to strict operational enforcement across AI, Zero Trust, and supply chain security.
In the July edition of ORI’s Tech in Motion LinkedIn Newsletter, we look at the latest federal mandates, cybersecurity directives, and AI governance priorities hitting agencies right now.
This month’s issue explores:
- Federal agencies’ focus on operational enforcement around AI-enabled cyber defense, mandatory supply chain mapping, and identity-centric Zero Trust
- Voxel51’s expanded annotation capabilities
- Chainguard’s latest report on “The State of Trusted Open Source” and the changing software supply chain security landscape
- Seekr’s case for why government agencies should aim high and use AI to “harvest the whole orchard” rather than pick the low-hanging fruit
- Upcoming events on next-gen cyber operations, AI access risks, and navigating the data and analytics voyage
- How ORI and Qlik work across the data-to-decision pipeline to make government analytics initiatives truly operational
