## Summary

Steve Orrin, CTO of Intel Federal, explains the evolution of cybersecurity from his early days as a hacker to securing government systems, highlighting the shift toward homomorphic encryption and post-quantum cryptography. He details how Intel Federal bridges the gap between commercial technology and federal requirements, enabling secure remote work during the pandemic through initiatives like the Air Force's Secure View. Orrin also discusses the critical role of AI in both enhancing security and introducing new vulnerabilities, such as data poisoning, and the hardware innovations required to support next-generation computing.
