WWT Experts

State and local CISOs find themselves holding multiple truths. On the one hand, they must guard against sophisticated cyber threats — think AI-powered deepfakes and metamorphic malware. On the other hand, most attacks still occur because of gaps in basic cyber practices. CISOs must ensure agencies aren't using unsanctioned AI applications, but they also must be seen as AI enablers, not blockers. Join WWT experts and former state CISOs John Evans, Chief Technology Advisor, and Steve Meyer, Senior Consulting Security Architect, as they explore how CISOs can shine in a landscape characterized by basics and breakthroughs. 

AI holds incredible potential for state and local governments — from expanding access to public programs to personalizing services based on the needs of individuals and families. But innovating citizen experiences with AI requires preparation. For example, data quality, accessibility and ownership must first be solidified, along with security guardrails. Join WWT experts John Evans, Chief Technology Advisor, and Mark Whitworth, Principal Advisor, as they discuss how state and local technology leaders can focus both on preparation and innovation for AI success. 

Massive investments in IT infrastructure will be needed for the DoD to effectively leverage AI, advanced cybersecurity measures and cloud adoption — all critical to mission readiness. However, these investments must consider talent shortages, technical debt and other operational challenges. Join WWT experts Chris Morgenstern, DoD Consulting Solutions Architect, and Tim Robinson, DoD Principal Solutions Architect, as they discuss modernizing DoD infrastructure in the face of change.

With cyberattacks against the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) increasing year over year, operators can feel like they’re always behind the eight ball. Join WWT experts Brian Tillett, Public Sector Cybersecurity Director, and Tim Robinson, DoD Principal Solutions Architect, as they explore strategies for staying ahead of adversaries. Learn best practices for implementing proactive threat hunting, leveraging threat intelligence data, automating routine security tasks and more.  

AI technologies and policies evolve rapidly, presenting challenges for Department of Defense (DoD) agencies looking to accelerate adoption. Fortunately, practical strategies can help. Join WWT experts Scott Paprone, DoD Systems Engineering Manager, and Tim Robinson, DoD Principal Solutions Architect, as they explore best practices for identifying use cases, prototyping solutions, meeting infrastructure requirements, and more.

The life sciences industry is undergoing a significant shift, with 33 percent of investment dollars expected to go toward AI by 2025. This surge in AI adoption is driving an increased need for high-performance computing (HPC) to power genomics, proteomics and other data-intensive research. In this episode of WWT Experts, Chief Healthcare and Global Life Sciences Advisor Dr. Sanaz Cordes and Technical Solutions Architect Derrick Monahan discuss how organizations can leverage cloud for HPC based on key business and technical considerations.

With the processing of massive data sets critical to their business, life sciences organizations have been at the forefront of the AI revolution. But the reality is organizations are just scratching the surface. In this episode of WWT Experts, Dr. Sanaz Cordes, Chief Healthcare and Global Life Sciences Advisor for WWT, and Rory Kelleher, Global Business Development Lead for Healthcare and Life Sciences for NVIDIA, explore how organizations can maximize value from AI across the entire life sciences value chain.

From managing complex operational environments to generating invaluable intellectual property, life sciences organizations are prime targets for cyber attacks. In this episode of WWT Experts, Chief Healthcare and Global Life Sciences Advisor Dr. Sanaz Cordes and Security Sales Advisor Scott Pochay discuss how life sciences organizations can navigate the evolving threat landscape. Cordes and Pochay explore the latest trends and impacts of data breaches, best practices for securing OT environments, the importance of cyber resilience and more.  

Federal civilian agencies are turning to cloud to drive innovation and enhance mission delivery. However, the path to successful cloud adoption is often fraught with challenges, from centralized procurement and visibility to navigating the complex Authority to Operate (ATO) process. In this episode of WWT Experts, Federal Civilian Engineering Director Brandon Bulldis and Principal Solutions Architect Ryan Friel discuss how agencies can overcome common roadblocks, optimize cloud resources, align cloud strategies with mission objectives and more.   

AI holds incredible potential for federal civilian agencies, from personalizing citizen services to optimizing critical infrastructure. But with agencies at varying levels of maturity, the path to AI success is multi-faceted. In this episode of WWT Experts, Federal Civilian Area Vice President Kevin Pearson and Senior Director of WWT's AI Practice Mike Trojecki explore common strategies agencies can use to chart their AI journeys. Topics include frameworks to accelerate AI adoption, identifying high-impact use cases, power and cooling considerations, data maturity, and more.
