Several dozen task orders are in the pipeline now for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract at the Defense Department. That’s according to the department’s Chief Information Officer, John Sherman. He and his colleagues Leslie Beavers & Lily Zeleke, and DISA Director Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, give you a broad view of the Department’s cloud posture and plan.

Federal agencies have an opportunity to unlock “decades of embedded value.” That opportunity is one of five focus areas… Accenture Federal Services says it sees for generative AI in government. Jennifer Sample, Managing Director at Accenture Federal Services and former Program Area Manager at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, tells you how to maximize that opportunity.

Defense Department services and components will have a “pick your own adventure” opportunity as they execute on the department’s Zero Trust strategy. The department has a 2027 deadline to have that strategy in place. John Sherman returns with his colleagues Dave McKeown, Kevin Mulvihill, and Chris Condon, to tell you how the department will build the infrastructure and workforce to meet that deadline, and how it will measure whether it’s staying on track.
