DISA’ s top cyber official retires this week. Ask him anything!

Defense Information Systems Agency's top cybersecurity official, Mark Orndorff, will join us for both a radio interview and a live online chat this week.

W ith apologies to readers who’ve already gotten the word via Federal News Radio’s various email lists and social media reminders, we wanted to reiterate that the Defense Information Systems Agency’s top cybersecurity official, Mark Orndorff, will join us for both a radio interview and a live online chat this week.

Orndorff, who will retire at the end of this week, spent the last several months refashioning DoD’s approach to cybersecurity so that it’s more accepting of risk in certain areas — the idea being that the department needs to focus its limited energy on protecting the assets that are most critical to its missions.

The radio interview airs Monday at 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Listen live on 1500 AM if you’re here the D.C. area, or online. If you’d like to join us for the live Q&A, Tuesday at 11 a.m. EST, you can register here.
