Ep. 5 Applying Quantum Computing to Federal Challenges
The word that is normally used to describe “quantum computing” is game changer. During this interview, Duncan Jones, the Head of Cybersecurity at Quantinuum gives you a better understanding of what quantum computing is and how it can help a federal agency reach its goals. The discussion began with an attempt to define quantum computing. Rather than a binary output, a quantum method gives a variety of solutions. Many now talk about today’s CPU-based computing as “classical” computing.

Ep. 4 Identity, Security, and the Federal Government
In the studio today, we welcome Julie Smith, the Executive Director of the Identity Defined Security Alliance and Yash Prakash, Chief Strategy Officer from Saviynt. One of the key challenges for the federal government to move to the hybrid cloud is establishing valid identity. The cloud can reduce cost and improve flexibility for federal information systems. However, it may come with security concerns. On March 21, 2022, the White House released a statement warning of the threat of cyberattacks. Industry and federal leaders have responded to other warnings in a variety of ways. One of the overarching concepts that has been well received is Zero Trust. The lynchpin for Zero Trust is establishing the identity of the person being trusted with data.

Ep. 3 How Network Management Fits the Federal Zero Trust Initiative
Blue Ridge Networks has been in business for over twenty years. CEO John Higginbotham shares how network security began with untrusted networks and has become focused on Zero Trust Architecture. Today’s federal systems reflect commercial systems – there is a mess with data, there are application issues, and some systems have poor security. COVID has caused federal information technology professionals to reassess this status and revise many aspects of security. COVID has certainly caused a drastic increase in connections taking place Along with that, there is also a need for more protection. During the interview, John Higginbotham suggests that a great starting point is multi-factor authentication. He agrees that frameworks from groups like DoD, NIST, and CISA can help in structuring a plan.

Ep. 2 Can Microsoft help your Federal Agency Transition to Zero Trust?
AvePoint is a well-respected Microsoft partner. In the studio, John Peluso, their Chief Product Officer, provides his thoughts on how a Microsoft platform can be a viable option for accomplishing a federal agency journey to Zero Trust. The transition to Zero Trust is increasingly becoming a federal mandate In January of 2022, The Office of Management and Budget set out nineteen requirements that agencies must follow by 2024. In March of 2022, funding was approved for the DHS Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Agency to make it mandatory that federal agencies notify CISA of a breach within 72 hours.
