Gartner hosts AI ZTNA webinar

Gartner is promoting an on-demand webinar that links artificial intelligence with Zero Trust security for military operations. (gartner.com) The session is titled “AI at the Frontline: Strategies to Mitigate Risk in Military Operations.” Gartner lists it as a one-hour webinar recorded on April 13, 2026. (gartner.com) Zero Trust is a security model that treats every request like a new checkpoint, not a free pass for anyone already inside the network. Gartner says access is granted based on calculated risk and can change as the user, device, or data changes. (gartner.com) In this case, Gartner says artificial intelligence can help that checkpoint system react faster by validating requests continuously and automating some threat response. The webinar page says AI-augmented Zero Trust Network Access can protect sensitive citizen information, support compliance, and limit evolving threats. (gartner.com) The military angle is specific to this event. Gartner says the webinar covers “practical ways” to integrate AI with Zero Trust frameworks, mitigate vulnerabilities, and support secure deployment in military environments. (gartner.com) Gartner’s government events page places the webinar alongside other public-sector and defense briefings, including a May 7, 2026 event on defense AI and a May 27, 2026 event on moving government AI from pilots to mission delivery. (gartner.com) The pitch fits Gartner’s broader argument that Zero Trust is moving from theory into standard practice. In April 2024, Gartner said 63% of organizations worldwide had fully or partially implemented a Zero Trust strategy. (gartner.com) That same Gartner survey said most Zero Trust programs still cover only part of an organization’s environment, which helps explain the webinar’s focus on phased rollout, governance, and skills.
