Ep 67 - Critical Communications and the Intelligence Community - Part 1: Laying the Foundations for Mission Success

Author: Government Technology Insider December 10, 2023 Duration: 11:28

Today, the United States Intelligence Community (IC) has never had a more complex mission. With nation states looking to expand their sphere of influence, resurgent terrorism threatening destabilization globally, and bad actors fueling cyber attacks, there’s a need for the IC’s network communications infrastructure to be mission-ready.

Keeping abreast of constantly evolving geopolitical threats requires that the IC has the best critical communications capabilities – now and into the future. In fact, today’s technologies can help to build a future-ready network and these upgrades can be accomplished without distracting the IC from its critical mission.

These were the key insights of the first part of Government Technology Insider’s Critical Communications and Intel Agencies Podcast Series with David Cerjan, Managing Director, National Security Group at Verizon, where they discuss how agencies can lay the foundations for mission success.

The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks.

The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective.
