When it comes to tools for cybersecurity, we have a similar situation – you may have End point Detection and Response, Extended Detection and Response, Managed Detection and Response, DR, XDR, MDR, Security Information and Event Management, and many others. ThreatQuotient was founded with the intention of making sure these disparate tools provide actionable information for federal agencies. During today’s interview with Craig Mueller, he takes us through context, customization, and collaboration that is needed in all federal agencies. The net result is the reduction in false positives and automation of the intelligence lifecycle. Criag Mueller brings up a topic that is rarely covered—air gapped systems.  Because of their deep understanding of the intelligence community, ThreatQuotient can provide services to agencies that use air-gapped networks.

    Ep 196 How to take a Federal Network Above and Beyond

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com   Ep 196 How to take a Federal Network Above and Beyond Today, we see our network being pushed and pulled in every direction: remote users demand access, millions of endpoints must be managed, and wireless networks abound. The Internet we use every day was designed for a much more humble requirement: essentially, bursts of communication between small entities. Our interview with Dan DeBacker from Extreme Networks will define these new requirements and how innovation can keep you up to speed. One of the best podcasts in Washington, DC, is “Feds at the Edge.”  It recognizes the rapid decentralization of systems, which has reached the point where some organizations are considering doing the “compute” aspect of the network at the edge. Let me state the obvious: a network that is not optimized will not allow speed to be efficiently achieved. Hybrid networks can increase complexity to the point where speed degenerates and opportunities for malicious actors can appear.  During the interview, Dan DeBacker details how methods and techniques can be applied to carefully examine a network and ferret out stealth networks and areas that can “leak” access. When a system is visible, it is easier to incorporate legacy networks and enhance connectivity between sites.

    Ep 195 AI in a World of Data Poisoning and Automated Chaos

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com  Federal technology leaders operate in a confusing world. On the one hand, they must grant access to data that is needed by users; on the other hand, they must comply with security requirements that severely restrict that access. Craig Mueller from Varonis offers a solution: efficient data management will ensure that all information will be carefully categorized to allow this razor’s edge of operation. The approach will allow for a concept called “complete coverage.” “Complete coverage extends to everything in the hybrid cloud as well as legacy systems. During the interview, Craig Mueller describes a concept called Data Security Posture Management. Essentially, this process allows for complete coverage, governance, and user analytics. Many do not realize that AI tools crawl a network and assemble as much as they can.  In a federal application, there may be information that is not categorized correctly and should not be allowed to be scanned.  This is a classic example of data that gives the ability to share too easily. Proper organization of data, both structured and unstructured, will all the balancing game of access and security to be deployed and scaled.

    Ep. 194 Where does ServiceNow fit in Federal Technology?

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Our guest today is Jonathan Alboum, the Federal CTO for ServiceNow Federal. This interview should begin like Mission Impossible movies. “Jonathan, your mission, should you accept it, is to describe all the variations ServiceNow serves federal technology leaders. You have 25 minutes. This message will self-destruct in ten seconds.” This is an “impossible mission” because Service Now has customers in over one hundred agencies. It sure appears each instance is unique. One way to understand this “variation on a theme” is to look at the agenda for their annual conference. In March 2024, ServiceNow covered topics ranging from agile software development to forms to new vs. legacy applications. It is kind of hard to find a Gartner quadrant for ServiceNow. During the interview, Jonathan delves into one aspect of artificial intelligence and details the application of large language models and smaller large language models. Listen to the interview and consider it a “tasting menu” for efficiency, productivity, and integration concepts. Oh yes, it also dives into applied Artificial Intelligence.

    Ep. 193 Evolution of DevOps to AIOps

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Everyone awake in biology class remembers the difference between a somatic and an autonomic nervous system. (Cheat sheet: You can control somatic, but the other kicks in without knowing.) What does this have to do with federal information technology? Today, we sat down with Dave Link, the founder of Science Logic, and he talked about how to manage complex federal systems. We all know in the early days, one could use a spreadsheet to update and patch most networks. However, today’s hybrid networks and supercharged cyber-attacks are throwing manual methods out the window. Dave Link suggests an automated approach that parallels human biology can be the answer. For example, he calls his system an “autonomic IT.”  A quick translation means that an agent can run in the background and examine the health of a network. It can evaluate and patch automatically, like the system that controls your heartbeat and respiration. When there is an issue, a sentient human can jump in. This may be like a human being moving out of the way of an oncoming bus. This person has an operating cardiovascular system; however, a human must alter survival. Listen to the interview to see how this human/technology parallel holds up.

    Ep 192 Forensic Analysis and Digital Footprint Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Cellebrite is a company that earned its stripes in the commercial world with its ability to find a needle in a haystack. In other words, they have developed an ability to sift through mountains of data, find the essential parts of an investigation, and leverage that information to close a case. In other words, anyone can find the proverbial needle; who can find the right needle that will solve the puzzle and bring the case to closure? The federal government is plagued with fraud and abuse from very sophisticated malicious actors. These actors are adept at creating false identities and covering their tracks. The GAO estimates that in 2023, Fraudnet reported 4,400 allegations in fiscal year 2023. Further, the Department of Justice reports $2 billion in illicit activity. It takes talent mastered in the commercial world to close federal cases. During the interview, Maurice Cook provides examples of the restricted federal environment in which Cellebrite must operate.  They must be transparent and ethical on all levels.  Fortunately, Cellebrite has managed to transfer that commercial skill set to the federal government under the guise of a digital investigative platform. Listen to gain a better understanding of forensic analysis and digital footprints.

    Ep. 191 The Surge of Google Public Sector

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Google's public sector has exploded into the federal technology marketplace. Today, we recapitulated the recent Google Public Sector event and tried to understand the reasons for the success. Our guest is Troy Bertram, Executive Managing Director of Google's public Sector Partner Ecosystem. Together, we review the keynote presentations, essential concepts, and the value Google can bring to rapid innovation in the federal government. The event kicked off with Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector, emphasizing the value of making systems foundationally secure. Apparently, this message resonates with the tech audience. Although Google Public Sector has only been around for two years, it saw 1,000+ people attend, including 24 federal leaders and attendees from over ten countries. Apparently, operational resilience is an international concept. We also heard some entertaining concepts. Leigh Palmer talked about AI as “always confident, not always correct.” She and her panel focused on the importance of having valid data before the discussion of artificial intelligence begins. Forrester has some predictions about the public sector that apply to federal cloud usage. They say that “public sectors should become more adaptive to build resilience and fuel innovation. Troy Bertram focuses on the DoD's efforts to leverage many of the concepts detailed at this conference.

    Ep. 190 Going Deeper with Federal User Experience

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Humans can be easily deceived. You look at an iceberg and think that is all you have; the same approach can be applied to federal websites. At first glance, you notice the visual and do not understand how the website may be providing valid information or if this can be done in a timely manner. Those aspects of web design are essential and can be measured easily with well-known tools like heat maps, Google Analytics, and user surveys. Today, we go below the surface of the iceberg. Lee Becker from Medallia helps listeners expand the user interface concept to include the outside and the inside. For example, a superficial understanding of the user interface would serve a citizen in a form. This is one way to interpret Executive Order 14058, “Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government. “ However, when you dig deeper, you will understand that in 2022, 190 million hours were spent on forms at the Department of Homeland Security. Lee Becker shares his experience and shows listeners how to go beyond the screen, dig deeper with the user interface, and improve larger goals like collaboration, security, and transparency. Ep. 190 User Experience: the plow must go deeper.
