Those are exactly the problems Paul Burnette, Vice President of the Software Accelerator, and Drew Formica, Software Architect work to solve at Leidos.

The future of secure storage is here, and it's the cloud. Any organization looking to move forward in the digital world needs to be approaching the cloud as their storage solution.

In this episode, David Chou, Director of Cloud Capabilities at Leidos, joins to tell us about how the cloud works, why it's the safest option, and why it's crucial when working with Zero Trust or Beyond Compliant strategies.
