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

 We sit down with CBP leaders to unpack a practical transformation: a living data inventory and catalog, an enterprise search that returns cited answers instead of document piles, and “agent tech” that automates the last mile of work for officers, analysts, and engineers. The result is faster, more accurate decisions where it matters most.

 Featuring:

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