(MCLEAN, VA., June 13, 2017)— FCW, Defense Systems and technical partner Booz Allen Hamilton have announced additional details and speakers for their government and military event focused on the evolving role of analytics in national security—Analytics Supporting National Security: Advanced Capabilities for Better Decision-Making. The morning event will take place Tuesday, June 20 at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City in Arlington, VA.
Increasingly, government and military leaders and organizations are leveraging advanced analytic tools in new ways—addressing a broader range of problems, gaining deeper levels of understanding and reducing overall cost. This event will bring together government and military leaders and experts to examine how advanced analytics provides not only the insight, but the foresight needed for effective decision-making in national security matters.
The keynote address will be presented by Mark Krzysko, Deputy Director for Enterprise Information, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics/Acquisition Resources and Analysis, Department of Defense (DOD). Mr. Krzysko will speak to data stewardship, data management and other key ingredients of an analytics program.
"It's been fascinating to watch the government embrace analytics in recent years, and move from basic measurement and monitoring to true predictive analytics," said Troy K. Schneider, Editor-in-Chief, FCW and GCN. "Now we're seeing some agencies explore prescriptive analytics, using the data to suggest the best course of action. This has tremendous potential, but requires a very different way of thinking about problems and mission goals."
"Defense and intelligence leaders recognize that the power of analytics can enable timely and accurate decision making. This event will further drive that discussion with real-world examples and identify paths forward in thinking about how to apply analytics to better support different missions," said Mark "Jake" Jacobsohn, Senior Vice President and Lead, Data Science and Machine Intelligence within Booz Allen Hamilton's Strategic Innovation Group (SIG).
Confirmed speakers include: Mark Krzysko, Deputy Director for Enterprise Information, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics/Acquisition Resources and Analysis, DOD ; Kevin Garrison, Chief of Analytics, Office of Special Assistant for Governance and Analytics, DOD; Dr. Peter Highnam, Director, Research, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; Mark Tapper, Special Adviser to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Headquarters U.S. Air Force; Mark "Jake" Jacobsohn, Senior Vice President and Lead, Data Science and Machine Intelligence, SIG , Booz Allen Hamilton; Scott Jachimski, Principal and Director of Analytics, Data Science and Machine Intelligence for National Agencies, Defense & Intelligence Group, Booz Allen Hamilton.
Two Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits are available to event attendees. For more information on the June 20 event, visit: https://FCW.com/Analytics or contact: Editor@FCW.com

(MCLEAN, VA., May 10, 2017) — Washington Technology, in partnership with Microsoft, announces a defense contracting event focused on securing the DOD Cloud environment, "Delivering on the Demands of Secure Cloud for DOD." The event will take place May 12 at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner in McLean, VA.
Defense organizations are looking for business partners that can execute on cloud security—not just on controls specified by the DFARS, but also on the requirements spelled out by the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), the FedRAMP High baseline, and Department of Defense (DOD) Impact Level 4 and Impact Level 5."

"As DOD moves forward with its cloud plans, security will be the make-or-break point for any company trying to sell those services," said Washington Technology Editor in Chief Nick Wakeman. "The best way to understand those security requirements is to hear it directly from those in charge. That's why I'm happy that we have such a strong line up of speakers from the Defense Department who can share what their security concerns and priorities are."
"CSRA is excited to discuss next-generation IT with our strategic alliance partner Microsoft for this week's event hosted by Washington Technology," said CSRA President and CEO Larry Prior. "Cloud computing in the DOD environment requires solving technical, security, and policy challenges—all at the same time. This event is a great step forward in helping unleash the innovation potential with cloud computing for our warfighters."
Confirmed speakers include John Bergin, Business Technology Officer, DOD CIO, Department of Defense; John Connor, IT Security Specialist, Office of Information Systems Management, National Institute of Standards and Technology; Kevin Dulany, Chief, Risk Management Framework Division, and Deputy CIO for Cybersecurity (DCIO-CS), Department of Defense; Victor Gavin, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Information Operations and Space, U.S. Navy; Thomas Sasala, Director, Army Architecture Integration Center, Office of the Chief Information Officer/G-6, U.S. Army; Larry Prior, President and Chief Executive Officer, CSRA; Susie Adams, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft Federal; and Tom Keane, General Manager, Microsoft Azure.

(MCLEAN, VA., March 31, 2017)- FCW, an 1105 Media, Inc. brand, announced the recipients of the esteemed President's and Eagle Awards at the sold out 28th annual Federal 100 Awards Gala held on March 30th at The Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C.
The Federal 100 Awards are presented each year to government and industry leaders celebrating the achievements of the individuals who have gone above and beyond their daily duties to make a difference in the community they serve.
Lesley Field, the President's Award winner, was recognized for her work as an unsung hero who has served as the acting head of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy in the Office of Management and Budget four times for a total of 34 months and counting – longer than a number of recent administrators.
The Eagle Award is presented to two honorees, one from government and one from industry, who are considered the best-in-class for 2017 whose contributions are felt throughout the federal IT community. The award for the government category went to Dave Powner, the Government Accountability Office's director of IT management issues, and the industry award went to David Moskovitz, Chief Executive for Accenture Federal Services.
"A central theme of the Federal 100 awards is that people are the most precious IT commodity," FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "Lesley and both Daves are especially good examples of that. "
"In this time of transition for government, it is important to recognize the contributions of career civil servants and their industry partners who provide the knowledge and continuity that are essential
to success in a new administration."
Detailed winner profiles are featured on FCW.com, and appear in the March 30 print and digital issues of FCW.
