Homeland Security & Defense Forum

Welcome to “HSDF THE PODCAST,” a collection of policy discussions on government technology and homeland security brought to you by the Homeland Security and Defense Forum

 If awareness is power, precision is freedom. We dig into the real gap between knowing what’s happening right now and understanding what’s coming over the hill—from interdictions at sea to cargo screening, counter-narcotics, and port security.

 This discussion took place December 12, 2025 at 8th Annual Homeland Security & Defense Forum Border Security Symposium
