AFCEA'S TechNet Cyber conference held in Baltimore, Maryland was the perfect opportunity to sit down with Greg Carl, Principal Technologist from Pure Storage. Pure Storage is used by 175 federal agencies.  Time to sit down from a subject matter expert and explain their value proposition. Today's federal government is attempting to accomplish digital modernization through a move to the cloud and, at the same time, reduce staff.  To multiply the risk associated with this endeavor, we see an increase in cyber attacks on data at rest, in transit, and while in use.  Greg Carl drills down on how Pure Storage can help federal leaders in several areas, he begins with Retrieval Augmented Generation, RAG. People have jumped into AI without knowing how to structure a large language model, the popular LLM.  RAG focuses on text generation and tries to make sure the data collected is accurate, relevant, and contextually aware. Pure Storage asks, if RAG protects the results of a query, what protects the “Retrieval” part of RAG.  We know LLMs are being attacked every day.  Malicious code could be placed in a LLM, and the RAG system might not know. A decade ago, backups were child's play.  A server down the hall, a backup appliance.  Today, one needs an agile cloud solution to perform continuous backups in a hybrid world.  One way to gain resilience is to use immutable backups where the attacked system can be restored and not lose valuable time. Speed and security handling important data activities can reduce costs for federal leaders by improving accuracy of LLMs and speed the time to recover after an attack.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Cybersecurity professionals like to talk about data “at rest” and data “in transit.”  They never mention how exactly this concept of “in transit” takes place. Once upon a time, in a data center far, far away, one could take a database and move it easily. Kind of like taking a suitcase in your car and driving across town. Today, federal agencies are deluged with so much data, is it more like dragging your entire house across town? Moving data today involves concepts like data tiring. This is an approach where data is taken to a third place and transferred from there. Due to limitations of latency, network bandwidth, and compliance concerns, this is a process that can take way more time than can be imagined. You may have some highly compensated data scientists waiting days for a complete transfer. Let us take another scenario. What if your agency has some data stored in a specific cloud provider? It may be discovered that charges were higher than expected and the data need to be returned to the on prem environment. If not done properly, this transition can be fraught with issues. Further, many federal agencies are sitting a veritable treasure trove of data, both structured and unstructured. These could be images, text, email, or video.

That is not what I signed up for, I wasn't in kindergarten being like I want to be an order taker one day And so many of us in enablement we fall into that trap because we don't come with new information. If you come with new information, you shift from an order taker to a strategic partner. That's certainly the direction that I and my team, where we wanna go” – Micah Jacobson“You need to lobby for these things. See if there are objections. Make sure you can get preliminary buy-in beforehand. Work with each individual org separately so that by the time you come to the table, they've already heard it. And then you're doing what you say. We're getting the priorities, we're all coming on the same page for the priorities, we're in agreement, there are no major showstoppers because you've basically done some preceding.” – Eric Mingorance“All our companies are trying to invest a tremendous amount of money in technology. I think as an enablement organization, we have a great opportunity to stop the train and say, ‘Which one is the best one?' And make a plan for it. It doesn't have to change tomorrow, but if you make a plan to get the best technology, you can accelerate how your sales leaders are really coaching and having more time for other activities, while you also orchestrate workflows in the internal cross functional teams so that you can operate more efficiently.” – Victoria Sanchez —Time Stamps 00:00 Episode Start00:44 Today's Topic01:54 Diverse Perspectives: Meet Our Guests03:57 Earning Credibility and Building Influence08:14 Aligning with Senior Leadership18:59 Tactics for Showcasing Enablement Impact22:33 Rock Bands and Enablement Tactics22:49 Maximizing Seismic Notifications23:05 Heroes of Enablement and Regional Programs24:33 HTML Tips for Announcements25:03 The Importance of Measurement28:18 Unified Data Model and Metrics29:39 Handling Bad Metrics33:39 Strategic Enablement Advice39:31 Future of Enablement and AI41:43 Final Thoughts and Advice—LinksConnect with Eric MingoranceConnect with Micah JacobsonConnect with Victoria SanchezRead more about Shift 2024Connect with Steve Watt on LinkedInConnect with Heather Cole on LinkedInCheck out Seismic

Sun Lee is a seasoned marketing leader with over a decade of proven business success. She started her career on the agency side, working with small start-ups as a brand and digital designer in Silicon Valley during the e-commerce boom. She went on to get her Masters Degree, then reenter the workforce on the client side, heading up marketing and communications for big-name companies like Sisu Data, SurveyMonkey, and Pure Storage, before joining BigPanda as the CMO in April 2023. BigPanda brings AI to IT operations in order to proactively identify and resolve incidents before they become costly problems. They work with large brands like Autodesk and Zayo, as well as large banks and airlines, to ensure seamless technology operations. BigPanda is a start-up and challenger brand competing with giants in the industry, meaning Sun and her team are operating with a relatively small budget, allowing them to move faster and position themselves as an innovator in the sector.On the show today, Alan and Sun talk about her experience of coming to the US alone at 15, learning to speak English, and how being a nonnative speaker has given her one of her marketing superpowers. They also talk about how she navigated career transitions from specialized roles in design to broader roles in marketing and how that varied experience has contributed to her success as a CMO. Sun outlines with us her approach to digital marketing, the importance of understanding content journeys, and the marketing benefits of being a startup challenger brand. She also tells how she and her team have been implementing AI and how she foresees it shifting the ways marketing teams work as well as the characteristics of who she is looking to hire. In this episode, you'll learn:How and why to drive alignment between marketing and sales Marketing benefits and strategies for startup challenger brandsHow AI is causing a shift in expectations of marketers hiresKey Highlights:[01:50] Coming to the US alone at 15[03:30] Benefits of English as a Second Language in Marketing[04:15] Sun's career path[07:20] How her experience shapes her approach to marketing [12:00] Finding alignment between marketing and sales [13:00] BigPanda: what they do and who they serve[15:05] Marketing benefits of being a startup challenger brand[17:10] Thoughts on digital marketing [19:45] Starting with the content journey [20:35] How AI is shifting Sun's thoughts on marketing and productivity [22:35] From specialization marketing to the CMO role[25:30] The most embarrassing professional moment of Sun's career [28:20] No dumb questions, only dumb questions. [29:00] Soft skills are the way of the future. [30:25] The evolution of word-of-mouth marketing [31:50] The biggest opportunity facing marketers today Looking for more?Visit our website for the full show notes, links to resources mentioned in this episode, and ways to connect with the guest!
