Cloud Security: In Depth

Discover How Cloud Security Is Powering the Mission

As cloud adoption accelerates across federal agencies, so does the complexity—and the importance—of securing those environments. In this special In Depth edition of Fed Gov Today, sponsored by Cisco, government and industry leaders break down what it really takes to protect the cloud in high-stakes, mission-driven environments.

▶️ Part 1: Securing Multi-Cloud with Unified Policy & Visibility

Guest: Carl De Groote, Area Vice President, U.S. Federal, Cisco

What’s the key to securing data in a multi-cloud world? Unified policy and end-to-end visibility. In the first part of the program, Carl De Groote reveals the security challenges federal agencies face as they scale across environments—and how to build a framework that adapts to emerging technologies like AI. Viewers will learn how to:

• Apply unified policies across diverse environments

• Leverage identity-based security to protect users and applications

• Reinforce security without disrupting mission-critical operations

If you’re navigating hybrid cloud or building secure AI models, this segment offers tactical insight you won’t want to miss.

▶️ Part 2: How the U.S. Army Is Rethinking Cloud Security for Mission Success

Guest: Gabe Chiulli, Chief Technology Officer, U.S. Army (OCIO) Office of the Chief Information Officer
With: Carl De Groote, Cisco

In the second half of the program, U.S. Army CTO Gabe Chiulli takes you inside one of the largest and most ambitious cloud security transformations in government. From rebuilding infrastructure to integrating zero trust across warfighting and enterprise environments, Chiulli shares what it means to modernize cloud systems without compromising operational readiness.

Viewers will hear how the Army:

• Flattened its network to identify vulnerabilities and improve resiliency

• Put user experience at the center of its cybersecurity strategy

• Future-proofed its cloud architecture for AI, automation, and scale

This is a must-watch for anyone building secure, scalable, and mission-aligned cloud strategies in the federal space.
