AFWERX Spark Cell Director Garrett Custons and Dcode Senior Program Manager Riya Patel discuss the cultural foundations that go into technology modernization

With an increase in evolving cyberattacks during the COVID-19 pandemic and an overall shortage of cybersecurity workers worldwide, federal cyber leaders are calling for people with diverse skillsets, experiences, and talent to fill the gap — especially women and minorities. 

The cybersecurity workforce gap is not a new issue, and it’s a challenge that both the private and public sectors alike face. The Defense Innovation Unit is one organization taking unique strides to accelerate strategic acquisition of cyber technologies to alleviate the stress of the Defense Department’s cybersecurity personnel.

For agencies to get the full value out of data and make the best use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, one best practice that federal leaders are using is incorporating interdisciplinary players in their strategies.
