Zero Trust And Clean Data: The Twin Pillars Of Mission-Driven AI
Leidos, Wednesday, September 24th, 2025
At the 2025 Leidos Supplier Innovation & Technology Symposium, Rob Linger, Leidos vice president of Information Advantage, met with Tom Suder, president of ATARC, and Kurt Steege, chief technology officer at Thundercat, to discuss bringing mission-ready artificial intelligence (AI) to life.
Three Points to Remember
- A secure foundation is critical to the integrity and reliability of AI systems.
- Clean, trusted data fuels lasting innovation via AI.
- AI is a force multiplier, empowering a shift from reactive fixes to proactive prevention.
During their exchange, two resonant themes emerged that will significantly impact artificial intelligence (AI) and its use for years to come: establishing a secure infrastructure to obtain accurate data results and the importance of clean and usable data.
