DISA Drafting Artificial Intelligence

If cyber is the ultimate team sport, as many in the U.S. Defense Department like to say, then artificial intelligence (AI) would likely be the number one draft pick for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Anthony "Tony" Montemarano, DISA's executive deputy director, stressed the importance of AI during a luncheon plenary on the final day of the AFCEA TechNet Cyber conference in Baltimore. "We've heard about it time and again. Artificial intelligence is probably the most significant technology we have to come to grips with." The younger generation, he noted, does not want to be burdened with security barriers when using technology.
