The ultimate goal of a recent equivalency memo from the Defense Department is to support companies using cloud services that are not yet FedRAMP certified by allowing them to go through a third-party assessment instead.“We don't have the capacity to accept or track [plans of action and milestones] like the Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) does. But I do want to give credit to the companies that are trying to leverage a cloud that's not yet FedRAMP certified by having a [third party assessment organization] to come in and say, ‘Okay, are they good with [National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication] 800-171 or not?' And if they're not, what's the delta that the customer has to handle? That's all we were trying to do there,” David McKeown, DoD's chief information security officer, told Federal News Network after he spoke at the Meritalk's Accelerate AI forum. “I understand there's some confusion. I think we're going to have a call with industry where we have a large number of them come onto the call, and talk through this a little bit more, and tell us where we can maybe clarify the memo.” Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode explores the concepts of zero trust and persistence theory within the cyber domain and features a conversation with two guests: Mr. David McKeown serves as the acting DoD principal deputy chief information officer and Dr. Richard J. Harknett is professor and director of the School of Public and International Affairs and chair of the Center for Cyber Strategy and Policy at the University of Cincinnati. In the discussion, they first define these two concepts—zero trust and persistance theory—before highlighting how they complement each other in practice. They continue by explaining the importance of seizing and maintaining the initiative in the cyber domain and how it would be more helpful to shift to a mindset of persistent campaigns and away from the idea of isolated cyberattacks. They conclude with thoughts on the implications for future cyber strategies. Intro music: "Unsilenced" by Ketsa Outro music: "Launch" by Ketsa CC BY-NC-ND 4.0

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has a better understanding of where it's cybersecurity shortcoming lie. To be clear, NGA recently passed several key audits required for its unclassified systems. But Gary Buchanan, the chief information security officer at NGA, said at a recent AFCEA DC panel these audits are actually helping the agency better protect their data and networks instead of just pointing out problems. He was joined by David McKeown, the deputy CISO at the Defense Department and Angel Phaneuf, the CISO for the Army Software Factory. The panel was moderated by Federal News Network Executive Editor Jason Miller.

It's science week again and Suzanne and PJ are joined by Dr. David McKeown... which he might regret. They talk about space, the moon, Mars, climate change, rockets and all things sciencey. They talk about facts and current trend of pushback against experts and facts. Suzanne is uncertain about the moon. David works with the European Space Agency, so they have different levels of understanding around these subjects. There are phrases like "Gamma ray burst detector" in this episode. It's great fun. Oh, also space babies. There's a small, space baby-sized handful of tickets left for the Dubland Christmas Party, grab them here: https://dublandchristmas.eventbrite.ie

Bob Komsic fills in for Libby Znaimer.There's no question that if you suffer from a stroke , it can alter your life significantly, and it's something John Topham knows very well. 6 years ago, he suffered a significant stroke that limited his walking, talking and his ability to do what he loved, but proper rehab and plenty of exercise have helped John bounce back, and become even healthier than he was before. He and his wife Marilyn join Bob to talk about it.Plus , after 12 years as Toronto's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David McKeown is about to retire. He led the city on a number of issues and had no problems pushing for social change at the same time. He talks to Bob about what he learned in the role, and what's coming up next for him.

They said even God himself would not know what to do with over 75 episodes on the Punisher, but we did it, so consequences be darned. To celebrate, Arch Stanton is back on as guest co-host, which brings up the average IQ of the show far more than we'd like to admit. Also, this is a long episode! To those that appreciate that, you're welcome. To those that don't like that, please check the time markers below. Introduction - Arch has a special announcement regarding his family, and I talk about my recent participation in Dagohir, which is a form of LARPing without all the roleplaying. [18:16] News - I give a correction on Chuck Dixon's tenure as a Punisher, and we have some cool news regarding Garth Ennis. In short, he knows who we are and the Punisher prequel series with Parlov's art is coming out soon. It is called The Platoon. We also "welcome back" Frankencastle with the new Secret Wars event Marvel is announcing for this summer. The fun starts in Battleworld #1. We also announce our Thunderbolts contest winner this episode! And if you're not tired of it already, we talk about that Joker/Batgirl cover too. [57:09] Mail Call - We answer voice mails on Shotgun, talk about our creative dreams, and talk about Frank's family again. [1:32:20] Bullet Points - We discuss the new-fangled Spider-Gwen #1-2 with its hip lingo and memes and then shrug apathetically at Punisher #16. [2:20:40] Flashbacks - We discuss Garth Ennis's "Confederacy of Dunces," the last Punisher Marvel Knights story, which covers issues #33-37. [2:50:10] Discharge Papers - I recommend the comic series Crossed 100 by Alan Moore, the book Essentialism by David McKeown, and Arch shows us a mind-blowing link he found between the Punisher, Star Wars, and Jake and I's side-obsessions. It must be heard to be believed. Jake recommends Xia: Legends of a Drift System, an open-ended sci-fi board game.
