There’s a lot of change going on with the federal government. It’s hard to keep up.

That’s why we’re examining a part of that change in the world of cybersecurity with Ryan Malani.

Ryan is currently the COO of INflow, an emerging nontraditional government contractor supporting the Department of Defense and intelligence community. One of the first questions I ask him is what exactly that means for people (like me) who might not be familiar.

We cover how AI is transforming cybersecurity, the associated risks and opportunities, and what that means for the DC tech ecosystem.
