In this episode of MeriTalking, Mike Nash, director of engineering and Kent Laursen, GDIT’s technology director for digital engineering, sit down with MeriTalk’s Gail Emery to explore how digital engineering provides benefits for Federal organizations.
Enterprise security is undergoing a significant transformation as Federal agencies adopt cloud applications and a decentralized approach to networking. In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery sits down with Norman St. Laurent, Federal product marketing manager for security at Cisco, to discuss the intersection of Federal cybersecurity mandates and cloud-centric modernization. They explore how agencies are evaluating cloud risk and leveraging cloud-delivered security capabilities to not only meet cybersecurity compliance requirements, but also to truly secure data and networks – while reducing complexity and improving flexibility for security teams.
State and local governments are using more devices, applications, and tools than ever before – increasing their cybersecurity complexity. And with limited resources, many IT teams are unable to create a comprehensive view of their security posture as threats evolve in sophistication. In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s John Curran sits down with Peter Romness, cybersecurity principal in the CISO Advisors Office at Cisco, to discuss how overburdened state and local government security teams can gain control over cybersecurity data and quickly detect, prioritize, and remediate threats.
In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery sits down with Kevin Chin, director of generative AI, and Jackson Scott, senior research scientist for the AI/Machine learning accelerator at Leidos, to explore how agencies can overcome the challenge of fighting public perception of generative AI and prepare their systems and teams for enterprise-wide implementation of the technology.
Federal IT is experiencing an explosion of complexity. At the same time, government is being asked to innovate and move faster. To meet these requirements and reduce complexity, agencies must change the way they work – both technically and culturally. In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery is joined by Brian Mikkelsen, Datadog’s vice president and general manager for U.S. Public Sector, to break down the causes of complexity and discuss how enterprise-wide visibility can enable both technical and cultural transformation.
Efficient, effective government operations depend on interoperable systems that connect employees, citizens, and partners to the resources they need – securely. But legacy identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) can result in siloed, incompatible systems and inadequate access controls. In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Grace Dille sits down with Bryan Rosensteel, U.S. Federal chief technology officer at Ping Identity, to explore how Federal agencies can overcome the limitations of legacy ICAM to provide seamless and secure access to the right resources for the right people, at the right time.
In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery sits down with Peter Romness, cybersecurity principal, CISO Advisors Office at Cisco, to explore how agencies need unifed cybersecurtity solutions, visibility across their enviornment, and comprehenseive threat intelligence capabilities to go toe-to-toe against bad actors – and earn the decision.
In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery sits down with Brandon Iske, a principal solutions architect at Okta, and Bill Wells, a senior solutions architect at Amazon Web Services, to discuss zero trust progress and challenges, why identity is the foundation of zero trust, and how Okta and AWS work together to help agencies achieve zero trust.
While the Federal government and large corporations may dominate headlines about cyberattacks and disruptive system outages, state and local governments are far from immune to system failures – and catastrophic downtime that affects the public’s trust in government.
On today’s episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery is joined by Jim Richberg, the public sector chief information security officer at cybersecurity and networking firm Fortinet. We’ll discuss how state and local governments can sort through Federal cybersecurity guidelines to improve their cybersecurity posture, and how to go beyond the traditional focus on attack response with a holistic approach that builds operational resilience into cybersecurity roadmaps.
In this episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Gail Emery sits down with Kathleen Featheringham, vice president of artificial intelligence and machine learning at Maximus, to explore the big-picture potential of AI and how agencies can achieve immediate mission value from it.
