The Future of Defense Tech-Readiness, Resilience, and the 2026 Mission

Rob Watson - Andrew D’Ippolito — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 20:19:06 GMT

Technology has always shaped how nations defend themselves. What’s different today is the speed of change - and how directly technologies like artificial intelligence, data, autonomy and resilient communications are influencing operations.

In the latest episode of Tech in Translation, Iron Bow’s Rob Watson, General Manager of the Department of War Business Unit, and Andrew “Batman” D’ippolito, Vice President of Business Development, explore what this shift means for defense leaders - and why staying ahead requires more than simply adopting the latest technology.

The PQC Transition: Why Planning Starts Now

Eugene McCall - Keith Stacy — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 20:36:59 GMT

The encryption organizations rely on today was not designed to withstand the capabilities of future quantum computers. As quantum computing advances, the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is becoming a cybersecurity and modernization priority.

In a new episode of Tech in Translation, Iron Bow’s Keith Stacy, Managing Director of Networking, and Eugene McCall, Vice President of Strategy and Architecture, break down what PQC means, why planning needs to begin now and how organizations can approach the transition in a practical, risk-based way.

The Hidden Factors Behind Successful Automation

Jeff Ward — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:51:47 GMT

Every day, organizations invest time and money in automation initiatives that fail to deliver their intended results. The problem isn’t that automation was overpromised - the benefits are real. Faster deployments, fewer errors, greater efficiency, and less operational toil are all achievable outcomes.

What often gets overlooked is that successful automation depends on far more than the technology itself. The tools may be powerful, but the technology rarely determines the outcome. In nearly every successful automation program I’ve worked with, three factors determine the outcome: trusted data, committed leadership, and an operating model that clearly defines ownership and accountability.

Simplify, Secure, and Scale with Enterprise Security

Blake Babilla - Cory Jackson — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:42:09 GMT

As organizations embrace AI, cloud computing, and hybrid work, cybersecurity is becoming more complex—not because of a shortage of tools, but because of too many disconnected ones. In a recent episode of Tech in Translation, Blake Babila, Director of US Commercial Security Sales at Cisco and Cory Jackson, Managing Director of Cybersecurity at Iron Bow, shared practical insights on how organizations can simplify security, strengthen resilience, and prepare for emerging threats.

The conversation centered on one consistent theme: security is no longer about adding more products—it's about building a unified, adaptable architecture.

Cybersecurity on the Leading Edge: Preparing for Quantum Resiliency

Danny.Finein@IronBow.com (Danny Finein) — Thu, 28 May 2026 20:02:28 GMT

Rapid advances in AI, compute, and cryptographically relevant quantum computing (CRQC) are accelerating the risk to today’s encryption-based environments. Organizations must take a more proactive approach to securing their data to mitigate these emerging threats.

While it sounds futuristic, the risk is far from theoretical. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted traffic today, with the expectation that more powerful quantum computers will enable decryption of that sensitive data in the future. This “harvest now, decrypt later” reality is accelerating the need for organizations to begin their transition to post quantum cryptography (PQC). In the United States, federal guidance such as CNSA 2.0 is moving public agencies toward developing quantum resilient architectures, but any non-governmental organization using legacy cryptographic algorithms remains vulnerable without them.

Securing the Future: How CSfC is Preparing Infrastructure for the Quantum Age

Keith Stacy - Dylan Lamarre — Tue, 26 May 2026 17:52:08 GMT

In the latest episode of Tech in Translation, Keith Stacy, Managing Director of Networking, and Dylan Lamarre, CSfC Solutions Architect at Iron Bow Technologies, explore how Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) is revolutionizing secure infrastructure design and preparing organizations for the quantum computing threat.

How Iron Bow and Cisco Are Transforming Emergency Response

Jeff Ward - Jim Engel — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:18:52 GMT

When the Federal Ray Baum Act Phase 2 mandated precise location tracking for emergency calls, organizations across healthcare, education, and government sectors faced a daunting compliance challenge. Iron Bow Technologies not only solved this problem, we transformed it into a life-saving innovation that earned the 2025 Cisco Partner Innovation Challenge award. In a recent podcast, Jim Engel, Collaboration Services Director at Iron Bow, and Jeff Ward, Practice Director for Infrastructure Automation, talk about the winning solution.

Why Managed Cyber Services Are the Future of Cyber Defense

Richard Vallejo — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:24:14 GMT

In a landscape where cyber threats evolve faster than organizations can respond, managed cybersecurity services have shifted from a nice-to-have to an absolute necessity. In a recent podcast discussion, Richard Vallejo, Director of Cybersecurity Operations at Iron Bow, shared critical insights into why this transformation matters now more than ever.

Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) and the Future of Secure Data Sharing Across Classification Levels

Dylan Lamarre — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 16:15:00 GMT

Why CDS Is Becoming Mission-Critical for Federal Agencies

The ability to move information securely between networks has become central to modern mission operations. Intelligence sharing, coalition collaboration, multi-domain operations, and real-time analytics all depend on trust—specifically, controlling how data flows across security boundaries.
