Welcome to our “TUESDAY EDITION of HSDF THE PODCAST,” a collection of policy discussions on government technology and homeland security brought to you by the Homeland Security and Defense Forum
AI is turning cyberattacks into a speed game, and the federal government can’t afford to keep playing defense with yesterday’s pace. We sit down with Michael Duffy, Acting Federal Chief Information Security Officer, Office of Management and Budget, to unpack why this is a true inflection point and what has to change before the next crisis forces everyone’s hand.
Featuring:
- Michael Duffy, Acting Federal Chief Information Security Officer, Office of Management and Budget
- Kate Yamashita, Managing Director, Global Security Strategy Lead, Accenture (moderator)
This discussion took place June 10th, 2026, at HSDF’s Cyber Symposium
