Modernization of IT systems in the Federal government is an ongoing effort, and ongoing discussion. And, data sharing and governance are critical for successful IT modernization. In this episode of the GovFuture podcast we talk with Guy Cavallo, who is Chief Information Officer at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

It should come as no surprise that the federal government often struggles with data silos. But, data sharing and governance are crucial for successful IT modernization. Guy shares with us strategies OPM is implementing to break down these silos and foster better data interoperability. And, strategies for ensuring secure and ethical data handling.

Additionally, Guy shares with us some of the challenges federal agencies should be aware of technologies like AI become more integrated into cybersecurity practices. And, looking ahead, he shares the top technological priorities for OPM in the next few years, and how they will impact the agency’s mission and operations.
