Ep 92 - DISA Focuses on Partnerships to Expedite Cloud Development

Author: Government Technology Insider January 4, 2024 Duration: 13:11

Supporting the all-important mission of ensuring national security, the Department of Defense is made up of 33 agencies. One of these agencies is the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). DISA focuses on IT and communications and leveraging them to support the DoD’s defense and security mission. With the evolution of the cyber landscape into a new domain, combating cyber threats has become a critical part of national defense. To support operations in this domain, DISA is building its capabilities in the cloud both in the Continental U.S. (CONUS) and Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS).

These were the key themes of our Government Technology Insider podcast about DISA’s plans and partnerships for the coming year. Host, Matt Langan, talked with Jeanne Gentry, DISA Business Development Manager with Verizon and Adam Clement Jones, the Solutions Architect for Verizon’s defense business in EMEA. Both executives discussed how DISA is expediting cloud development and the benefits this will bring to national defense in 2023 and beyond.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? 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. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. 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. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
