Federal Tech Podcast:  for innovators, entrepreneurs, and CEOs who want to increase reach and improve brand awareness

The federal government spends $90 billion on technology every year. If you are a tech innovator and want to expand your share of the market, this is the podcast for you to find new opportunities for growth. Every week, Federal Tech Podcast sits down with successful innovators who have solved complex computer system problems for federal agencies. They cover topics like Artificial Intelligence, Zero Trust, and the Hybrid Cloud. You can listen to the technical issues that concern federal agencies to see if you company’s capabilities can fit. The moderator, John Gilroy, is an award-winning lecturer at Georgetown University and has recorded over 1,000 interviews. His interviews are humorous and entertaining despite handing a serious topic. The podcast answers questions like . . . How can software companies work with the federal government? What are federal business opportunities? Who are the cloud providers who work with the federal government? Should I partner with a federal technology contractor? What is a federal reseller?

    Ep. 212 Making Sense of the Confusing World of AI & The Federal Government

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Anyone with a pulse knows the new Trump administration has rescinded dozens of Executive Orders written by the previous president, Joe Biden. Executive orders #14110 and #14141, which dealt with artificial Intelligence, were part of this package. This has put the federal technical community in a state of expectation. On the one hand, they are charged with reducing costs by leveraging technology; on the other hand, they have a hiring freeze, and nobody knows what the new AI mandates will consist of. Today, we sat down with Jennifer Sample from EmpowerAI, a veteran of the tech wars, and asked her what direction developments in AI will take. Jennifer Sample reminds listeners that the federal government must consider privacy restrictions when applying AI to solving federal problems. Unfortunately, our near-peer adversaries have no such constraints. When the federal government attempts to apply AI, it does so inconsistently. The CIO Council may be able to list 1,700 federal use cases for AI, but the hard part is vetting the data sources and matching impact with agency goals. During the interview, Jennifer Sample discusses concepts like being AI ready, continuous qualification, and contextual governance. 2025 will force the federal government to do more with less; AI is a tool that can help accomplish that noble goal. If you want to hear a more in-depth discussion, she will speak at the Potomac Officers’ Club on March 12, 2025, in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia.

    Ep 211 Build Software Faster: GitLab

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com A recent study showed that the federal government has identified 1700 use cases for Artificial Intelligence. Today, we examine some challenges and solutions for unlocking the power of AI represented in these examples.  Our guest, Joel Krooswyk from GitLab, examines Software Bills of Material, repatriation, and what efficiency might look like in the future. SBOM. For years, software developers have recommended using a Software Bill of Material. Today, its value has become so apparent that it is becoming mandatory. During the interview, Joel Krooswyk discusses the security benefits of mandating an SBOM policy for all federal software development. Fifteen years ago, Vivek Kundra coined the phrase “Cloud First.”  It took a while, but cloud adoption is pervasive by the federal government.  However, with this adoption, we have seen examples where cloud service providers may over-promise and under delivery. The interview provides guidelines for transitioning from the cloud back to the premises, which is increasingly called “repatriation.” Software development in the future will make compliance partner with DevSecOps in an automated process. This will reduce maintenance costs and provide real-time reporting.  Intelligent automation will be able to validate each step of the process.

    Ep 210 Software Development and the Shift Left

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com “Efficiency” seems like the new buzzword for federal technology in the next few years. When writing software sense, efficiency can mean writing code once and moving on to regular maintenance. However, we see security initiatives being mandated that cause developers to go back to previous stable systems and add code alterations to comply with new cyber threats. Even beginner efficiency experts will tell you the time and cost of operating in this manner can be expensive. Further, recording can add new bugs and risks, making the system more complex. Federal technology leaders from CISA have not lost sight of this. They have a “Secure by Design” initiative that addresses this issue. As in many tech concerns, the concern is how to accomplish this noble task. Today, we sit down with Nathan Jones from Sonar. He offers a solution that seeks to “shift left” the whole concept of security by design. His company provides systems that can review code to ensure its compliance. Further, he expands on an approach that can collaborate with developers while they write code. Nathan Jones gives listeners details about how Sonar’s Qube can be deployed on a server, in the cloud, or with IDE. The benefits are ample: lower maintenance, minimizing risk, and allowing a focus on innovation rather than rewriting code.

    Ep 208 Innovation with OSCAL, Federal Cloud, and Compliance

    Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Everyone reading this knows that April 15 is the dreaded day that one must pay federal income taxes. Big business has hordes of tax accountants and lawyers who do tax planning to accommodate federal deadlines. Sometimes, the deadline could be better known. Are you familiar with the OMB’s M-24-15? This will require companies to submit compliance information in a machine-readable format. Today, we sat down with Valinder Mangat from DRTConfidence. Valinder describes technology, deadlines, and approaches your company can use to comply. This interview will serve as a warning about an immense deadline that is crucial if you work with the federal government and cloud service providers. Essentially, NIST recognized that compliance done manually was time-consuming and subject to error. Back in 2016, they suggested OSCAL to streamline compliance. In addition to speeding things up, OSCAL allows for reuse without repetitive assessments. Whether you realize it or not, by the end of 2025, each federal contractor will be expected to provide compliance information in the OSCAL format, which stands for Open Security Controls Assessment Language. The other side of the coin is important to discuss as well. If you are an agency dealing with cloud compliance, you will be expected to be able to ingest compliance data in the OSCAL format.
