Scoop New Group and GDIT recently partnered for a jam-packed event focused on the emergence of quantum computing and the implications on federal cybersecurity. One of the highlights of the event was a panel I hosted featuring top cybersecurity and tech leaders from the defense community discussing how quantum is impacting DOD and the military services.

We’ll turn now to that conversation with Wanda Jones Heath, principal cyber adviser of the Department of the Air Force, Dan Gunlycke, Technical Director of the Naval Quantum Computing Program Office, Dept. of Navy, and Jim Matney, VP of defense strategy for GDIT.

DISA’s Hosting and Compute Center was opened in 2021 to empower the warfighter to execute at the speed of mission with cloud computing and other hosting and computing services. Now two years later, the HaCC, as it's called, is smashing its strategic goals out of the park while leading the administration of one of the largest and highest-profile cloud computing contracts in all of government.

Sharon Woods, the director of the HaCC, joins the DefenseScoop podcast to discuss the latest on the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability, what the center has in store next, and much more.

Cybersecurity firms have pioneered the use of artificial intelligence in their products, but the latest generation of AI technology offers hope that a greater share of the work to secure computer systems could be automated. A new competition at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aims to jump start efforts to build open source AI tools to find and fix vulnerabilities. Program Manager Perri Adams leads that effort and recently caught up with my colleague Elias Grolls on the CyberScoop Safe Mode podcast to discuss how to encourage developers to build tools that anyone might use to secure computer systems.
