Chris Jones, chief technology officer at Nightwing, joins to detail how the cyber and intelligence solutions provider is pursuing its own destiny and industry’s role in helping agencies navigate changes in how they operate.
The spring of 2024 was a turning point for Nightwing, when the business separated out of its then-parent RTX to become a standalone company focused on cybersecurity and intelligence solutions.
Chris Jones joined Nightwing later that fall as chief technology officer following service as the CIA’s associate deputy director for science and technology. Jones joins for this episode to put into perspective how Nightwing has sought to carve out its own path in the market and priority areas for the company going forward.
In talking with our Ross Wilkers, Jones also explains the role of companies like Nightwing in helping their government agency customers navigate changes in how they operate even if the overall missions remain the same.
Artificial intelligence and other automation technologies in the cyber landscape is also on the discussion agenda. Seemingly all tech conversations end up at AI and automation these days, after all.
