In 1967 the movie Cool Hand Luke gave us this famous quote, "what we have here is a failure to communicate." Surprisingly, this adage may apply to federal technology as well.

If a federal leader allows secure information to be communicated, they can get fired. If they do not allow enough access to appropriate information, decisions can go sideways.

The federal government is being bombarded with data, some important, some trivial. The challenge is to get life-and-death information into the hands of decision makers. So, we have massive data stores and some of them reside in the intelligence community.

During the interview, Dr. Williams offers an innovation that allows users to access multiple sources as if it were a single database. Further, the data can be protected to allow the correct users the specific amount of data permitted.

The beneficiary of this method of protecting data at rest is Artificial Intelligence. The data that if fed into AI model can be leveraged and protected at the same time.
