Summary
Washington AI Network founder Tammy Haddad hosts Cohesity CEO and President Sanjay Poonen for a conversation on the intersection of data security and artificial intelligence. Poonen explains why protecting government and enterprise data is the foundation for trustworthy AI — and why, in his words, “You can’t do AI before you’ve secured your data.” He also introduces Gaia, Cohesity’s new generative-AI platform built with NVIDIA, and shares how AI can help government become more efficient, secure, and productive. From ransomware readiness to the President’s AI Action Plan, Poonen outlines how agencies can build cyber resilience, strengthen data hygiene, and embrace innovation safely in the age of AI.
