In this episode of the Packet Forensics Files, Michael joins Jean-Paul Bergeaux, Federal CTO at GuidePoint Security to unpack the evolving challenges and strategies in Federal cybersecurity.

From the critical role of certifications like FIPS 140 and NIAP, to the impact of M-12-31 directives and the power of packet capture for threat detection, Jean-Paul shares real-world insights from the front lines. We also explore the growing risks, and potential, of generative AI in the public sector, and how agencies are adapting to stay ahead.

Jean-Paul explains how agencies are moving toward more data-driven security strategies, with a focus on visibility, accuracy, and speed.  By adopting technologies that provide definitive evidence, like packet capture, agencies can respond to threats faster, investigate incidents more thoroughly, and meet evolving compliance requirements with greater confidence.

Tune in for a compelling look at how proactive security, data visibility, and compliance shape the future of Federal cyberdefense.
