This week we are joined by Kenneth Bible, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). He breaks down the National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan (NCSIP) introduced in July and provides great insights on how the plan was developed, the five key pillars of the plan, actioning each of the five elements, and the role government agencies have to play in executing against the plan and its 65 initiatives. He also provides perspective on international collaboration and partnership in achieving shared goals with the U.S. and how this will help “all boats rise” in strengthening cybersecurity across regions. And he shares what Audra likes to call one's “origin story” on the career path that led to cybersecurity. Lots of valuable insights this week you won't want to miss!   Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Kenneth W.

Mark Balmert, Executive Director of the San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC), discusses upcoming SDMAC Breakfast speakers on July 21 and August 21; and the October rollout of the annual SDMAC-sponsored San Diego Military Economic Impact Study that will highlight the economic footprint of Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, formerly known as SPAWAR.

Brad Chisum is the co-founder & CEO of Launch Factory, an entity that creates startup companies, focusing specifically on business execution. This focus, Brad says, makes Launch Factory startups better suited to handle the business challenges in front of them. The El Paso, Texas native attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where he studied electrical engineering and math. Although he went into college with aspirations to become a theoretical physicist, Brad always secretly wanted to become an entrepreneur at some point. Challenging himself to live in each of the major US time zones, Brad began searching for a post-college job on both the east and west coasts. He narrowed it down to a job in San Diego and a job in Virginia, but what really sealed the deal was the lunch he had on the east coast. The team at the Virginia-based company told him they’d be taking him out to eat Mexican food and went to Chili’s. At that moment, Brad knew he needed to live in a place where he’d be able to eat authentic tacos whenever he craved one. And so, he made his way down to sunny San Diego, working for STMicroelectronics. Several years in his career, Brad began working as an engineer at SPAWAR, where he met his now-co-founder, Richard Waters. It wasn’t long before the pair began working to build a venture of their own, all while Brad was pursuing an MBA at San Diego State University. Through the many years of Lumedyne, the duo and their team faced numerous setbacks and hardships before being acquired by Google. Brad remained part of the team post acquisition, until he left Google in 2016. It wasn’t until 2018 that Brad began working on his next venture, Launch Factory. James Hereford, a former colleague of his, had the advanced skillset that Brad desired in a potential co-founder. The duo worked on developing Launch Factory, which aims to give startups all the tools and knowledge they need to become successful. Listen in to hear all about Brad’s journey as a two-time founder, his plans for the future of Launch Factory, and his local favorite eats and brews. Thanks to our partners Cox Business for their support in enabling us to grow the San Diego ecosystem.   Brad’s favorites Tacos - Tacos el Gordo (various locations) Beer - Stone Brewing   Keep up with Launch Factory on social media: LaunchFactory.com LinkedIn

Mark Balmert, Executive Director of the San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC), talks about the annual San Diego Military Economic Impact Study that will focus on SPAWAR’s impact in our region; SDMAC Breakfast speakers in April, May and June; and the June 13 SDMAC Achievement Awards.

Doubling down on a mission to connect public transportation to the airport, San Diego's mayor and the county's transit chief have landed on a 71-acre, airport- and freeway-adjacent site that they see as the region's utopian transit hub of tomorrow. Friday, Hasan Ikhrata, the newly installed executive director of the San Diego Association of Governments, will tell his board at their regular monthly meeting that he wants to move swiftly to try and secure the Naval Base Point Loma, Old Town Complex — more commonly recognized as the SPAWAR property — as part of an ambitious plan to create a Grand Central Station that also includes housing and commercial space.

For the Navy, a new $100 million other transaction agreement focusing on information warfare isn’t just a way to turn government requirements into prototypes and fielded products at a faster clip than is possible under Federal Acquisition Regulation. It is that, but the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command sees the value in the Information Warfare Research Project as a way to pull new ideas from industry at the same time it’s asking companies to solve specific problems. Bill Deligne, the deputy executive director of SPAWAR's Systems Center Atlantic joins Jared Serbu to talk about IWRP's objectives, including how it plans to maintain proper governance and oversight in the world of OTAs, where most of the government's usual acquisition rules don't apply.

The technologies tying together the Navy's many systems, from those deep in the oceans to those in space, come from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). At this week's Sea Air Space conference put on by the Navy League, Federal Drive with Tom Temin spoke with SPAWAR Commander Rear Adm. Boris Becker. Becker said whether SPAWAR is primarily an acquisition organization or an engineering one.

At any given time, the military and civilian personnel at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) are working on thousands of projects, which aim to better our Navy and the Sailors who serve her. The Battlespace Exploitation of Mixed Reality (BEMR) lab is doing their part by utilizing new technology being developed in virtual reality and figuring out how the Navy can use it to transform the way the Sailors do their jobs. Using websites like kickstarter.com, the lab takes the newest technologies being developed and looks for ways to incorporate it in the fleet.

This week, Dave and Gunnar talk about your singular uniqueness on the web, miniaturizing almost everything, and Dell IT using OpenShift. One of these things is not like the other: Fodor’s Go List 2015 “A foreign language has been creeping into many of the presentations I hear and the memos I read. It adds nothing to a message but noise, and I want your help in stamping it out. It’s called gobbledygook. There’s no shortage of examples. Nothing seems to get finished anymore it gets “finalized.” Things don’t happen at the same time but “coincident with this action.” Believe it or not, people will talk about taking a “commitment position” and then because of the “volatility of schedule changes” they will “decommit” so that our “posture vis-à-vis some data base that needs a sizing will be able to enhance competitive positions.” That’s gobbledygook.” – Thomas J.
