About this episode

Vince Crisler discusses the impact of AI on cybersecurity and government assessments of new models.

On today’s Technology Report, Vince Crisler, who was the chief information security officer at the White House during the George W Bush administration who is now the CISO at cyber security firm Celerium and serves as a member of the Pentagon’s Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Information Sharing Environment, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss how ever more powerful AI models change cybersecurity; how the government should assess the security implications of new models as President Trump prepares to sign an executive order that would give the government a month to review models before their release; how to improve cybersecurity across the defense industrial base and flaws with the CMMC approach; and his company’s “DIB CyberDome.”
