Electrosoft’s CEO, Dr. Sarbari Gupta, joined Washington Technology’s Senior Staff Reporter, Ross Wilkers, for a WT 360 podcast discussion entitled “People Are at the Center of All Cyber Dialogue.” WT 360 conversations are about what’s driving the federal government market now and where the sector is going. Gupta joined Wilkers to explore cybersecurity beyond technology and, instead, centering around teams and talent.

“Federal cybersecurity programs require much more than the right technology,” said Dr. Gupta. “True cyber resilience comes from having skilled professionals in the right roles — surrounded and supported by efficient, aligned, and compliant technologies, data, processes, and governance. It was a true pleasure to join Ross to discuss this topic and more on the WT 360 podcast.”

Other topics covered in the August 21 podcast episode include:

• Cybersecurity trends and growth drivers in the federal government market
• The company’s rigorous cybersecurity posture that ensures Electrosoft is a secure supply chain vendor
• Dr. Gupta’s insights gained from founding and growing the company

Podcast Description

Dr. Sarbari Gupta, founder and chief executive of Electrosoft, joins to take the cybersecurity conversation away from just being about technology and instead centered around teams and talent.

Cybersecurity started to evolve into an enabling technology area more than a decade ago, which means today it is in the core of what government technology companies do for federal agencies.

Dr. Sarbari Gupta founded Electrosoft in 2001 to focus on helping agencies with their own postures in cyber, the evolution of which she describes in this episode that also goes over what the government is asking of industry in today's cyber landscape.

Gupta explains to our Ross Wilkers how companies such as hers have carried out their own cyber practices and cultures amid the emergence of standards like CMMC as the final rule is in-the-works for that particular program.

She also shares her lessons learned along the way on growth, entrepreneurship, and industry teaming as a small business founder.
