Are tribes being left behind in cybersecurity? Does their data remain sovereign when transferred to the Cloud?

In this episode of Thin Digital Line, our hosts Jeff Engle and Carmen Brooks are joined by Bill Barkovic. He is a modern workplace solution specialist for Microsoft. He works with tribes and tribal corporations to utilize Microsoft 365. He is passionate about helping the tribes.

About Thin Digital Line:

The Thin Digital Line mission is to build capacity and enhance cyber resiliency efforts by establishing a common bond between all critical infrastructure technologists, operators, and security leaders.

We undertake this initiative with a sober view of where we stand as a collective ecosystem across critical sectors and national critical functions AND a clear understanding of how ineffective other initiatives have been. We will foster collaboration, knowledge building, and lessons learned through challenging the conventional direction of the industry based on a foundation rooted in the most elite special operations organizations to build a competitive advantage required to win.

Join forces with us as we stand shoulder to shoulder on the thin digital line between order and chaos in an enduring effort to protect our way of life.
