Catherine Kuenzel liked thisI could not have been more honored to represent SpyCloud at Potomac Officers Club’s Intel Summit. The Panelists I had the privilege of moderating were absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you Colin McKinty, Jason Porter, and Lt. Gen. Ross Coffman - you all were AMAZING!!Catherine Kuenzel liked thisAs AI capabilities advance, so does the potential blast radius when things go wrong, especially in classified environments. During the lunch panel, “Agentic AI and Quantum Risk: The Blast Radius Problem in Classified Environments,” government and industry leaders explored how to compartmentalize AI, protect sensitive data and limit the impact of an AI failure or compromise. The discussion highlighted the importance of confidence levels and human oversight, along with stronger boundaries around AI systems through strict compartmentalization, zero-trust architectures, continuous identity verification and hardware-level controls. Panelists also addressed the growing urgency around post-quantum security and the need to build defenses that can operate at machine speed as adversaries increasingly leverage AI. Thank you to Phil Fuster, VP of Government Markets at SpyCloud, for moderating, and to Dr. Colin McKinty, Sr Sales Director FedCiv at Everfox, Jason Porter, Chief Innovation Architect of Kentro and LTG (Ret.) Ross Coffman, President of Forward Edge-AI, for sharing their perspectives. #POCIntel2026

Catherine Kuenzel reacted on thisCatherine Kuenzel reacted on thisLast night I received the Tech CEO of the Year 2026 award from IT-Branchen, Denmark's IT industry association. It's the first year the award has been given, and I'm genuinely honoured. The award carries my name, but the work behind it doesn't. It belongs to my colleagues at Systematic. Their expertise, curiosity and persistence are what make it possible to build solutions our customers can rely on when critical decisions are made. What I value most in the jury's reasoning is the point that technology, business model, organisation, security and responsibility have to be thought of together. When you develop software for defence, healthcare and critical infrastructure, none of them can be treated in isolation. This will only matter more as AI is built into the systems society depends on. Thank you to IT-Branchen, Natasha Friis Saxberg and the jury. And congratulations to my fellow finalist Lotte Bendstrup, Mikkel Bardram and Lars Thomsen. I am genuinely proud to be nominated with such strong company.

Catherine Kuenzel liked thisCatherine Kuenzel liked thisModern operations don't wait for perfect network conditions, and neither does the SitaWare Suite. Built to perform in disrupted, degraded, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments, SitaWare gives commanders a shared operating picture and the tools to plan, coordinate, and act, whether at a fixed headquarters or at the tactical edge. Intelligence from mobile units, unmanned systems, and a wide range of data feeds comes together into one full view of the battlespace, with agentic AI now accelerating decision-making across every domain while keeping humans in the loop. The SitaWare Suite is the world's number one operationally proven C5ISR solution, with more than 1 million users across 50+ nations.

Catherine Kuenzel liked thisCatherine Kuenzel liked thisNext generation C2 is the #USArmy's top modernization priority, and the change program behind it is significant in scale and complexity. On an episode of the Command and Control podcast, Gen. James Mingus (Ret.) discussed the Army's philosophy for C2, its path to NGC2, and how allies, partners, and industry can engage with the opportunities this modernization creates. Artificial intelligence is central to that vision. General Mingus discusses how fully trusted, agentic AI tools could allow a single operator to direct hundreds of drones on a single mission, each tasked in advance with a specific role within a defined operating area. He is clear that human decision-making remains central to the process, with authorization required before any effect is applied to a target. The conversation covers what individual soldiers can expect, how the network will function, and how industry, commanders, and society will interact through the system, all while preserving the command philosophy that has guided the Army since the 1980s. 🎧 Downloand, listen and subscribe today at https://lnkd.in/eFqXrgRj #NextGenC2 #C4ISR #DefenseTechnology #DefenceInnovation #Systematic #ArtificialIntelligence

Catherine Kuenzel liked thisCatherine Kuenzel liked thisToday, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and all those whose lives were forever changed. Amid the profound tragedy and loss, we also witnessed extraordinary courage, selfless sacrifice, and the resilience of a nation united. We honor the families who continue to carry that loss and express our enduring gratitude to the first responders, citizens, military members, and public servants who answered the call that day and in the years that followed. Their service reminds us of the strength that comes from unity, compassion, and a shared commitment to our communities and our nation. May we always remember those we lost and honor their memory through how we serve and support one another. #September11 #NeverForget #Remembrance #Service
