Federal Tech Podcast:  for innovators, entrepreneurs, and CEOs who want to increase reach and improve brand awareness

Ep. 155 For Federal Data, Data is the Gold


Listen Later

In 1848 they found gold at Sutter’s Mill in California. According to the CEO of Cohesity, data is the new gold. Today, we sit down with David Kushner from Cohesity to unpack what this “gold” reference means for federal technology leaders.

This has always been the case. Today, we see cheap storage, fast Internet, and Generative AI producing an overwhelming amount of data sets. The challenge is how to protect them.

This “perfect storm” has not gone unnoticed by federal leaders. If you casually look at a few recent federal mandates, you constantly see a reference to “security” and Artificial Intelligence.

·       White House: President Biden issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence

·       Homeland Security:  Promoting AI Safety and Security

·       OMB:  Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence

Cohesity has been in business for over a decade and has garnered a reputation for efficient management of critical assets. We sit down with David Kushner to unpack what these innovations mean for the federal government.

For example, we all know that the federal government gets attacked thousands of times a day. We all know the “usual suspects,” but what is starting to happen is malicious code is being injected into backups. It is conceivable that a systems manager could reach for the backups and introduce compromised data into a sensitive data set.

During the discussion, David mentions that Cohesity has worked with over three hundred federal agencies in a wide variety of services. In February of 2024, Cohesity launched a search assistant called Gaia. This allows enterprise-level organizations to use Large Language Models and Retrieval Augmented Generation in a manner that complies with compliance mandates.

Listen to learn about Gais, backups, and a new world where the data is the gold that is being exfiltrated.
