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

 Our panel walks through how a multi-year cloud migration cut outages, sped recovery, and set the stage for AI that actually helps people at the border and across trade. No hype—just the decisions, guardrails, and workflows that let a 24x7 operation move fast without breaking trust.

 Featuring:

  • Jay Alalasundaram, Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Software and Applications and Services, CBP
  • Baibhav “Bobo” Devkota, Executive Director, Border Enforcement and Management Systems Directorate, CBP 
  • Thomas Mills, Executive Director, Cargo Systems Program Directorate, CBP 
  • Neha Saijpaul, Director, Digital Solutions, CACI International Inc. (moderator)

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