The Cyber Threat Nobody Sees Coming: Former DISA Director on AI, Mythos & the Future of Digital Warfare

Former DISA Director Lt. Gen. Bob Skinner joins Fed Gov Today to explain why digital forensics is no longer just a post-breach investigative tool—it’s now the frontline of cyber defense. Skinner breaks down how AI-powered platforms like Mythos are changing the cybersecurity landscape, why the line between criminals and nation-state adversaries is disappearing, and what agencies must do to stay ahead of increasingly complex threats. He also shares why the federal government needs more “operational technologists” who understand both mission and technology, and why critical thinking—not just technical skill—will define the next generation of cyber talent

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
