This episode of Fed Gov Today, sponsored by Broadcom, dives into the critical front line of modern defense—endpoint security. Francis talks with Garrett Lee, Regional Vice President for Public Sector in Broadcom’s Enterprise Security Group, about how the Department of Defense is rethinking cybersecurity from the ground up. Lee explains that in today’s digital battlespace, the most vulnerable target isn’t always the jet in the sky but the laptop in the hangar. 

You’ll learn how the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is tackling this challenge by automating lower-level cyber tasks and deploying endpoint detection solutions that work across massive, complex environments—including those without constant internet access. The conversation explores why “good enough” security isn’t enough, how compliance often falls short of true protection, and what zero trust really looks like in action.
