CACI’s Cofoni: ‘If We Tried to Centralize Every Need for Cyber, We Would Fail Utterly’
Paul Cofoni
As part of its “Top Secret America” investigative piece, The Washington Post spoke with Zal Azmi and Paul Cofoni of CACI, who serve as the cyber lead and president and CEO respectively.
Recently, CACI hosted a symposium titled “Cyber Threats to National Security,” which looked at cyber threats and produced several recommendations for policymakers.
The symposium discussed the overlap present in the government regarding cyber efforts and the lack of coordination currently present. During the interview, Cofoni and Azmi discussed some of the company’s technologies, including one detecting incoming and outgoing signals to a building and one that captures biometric data. The company is also developing signal-detection devices to be mounted on vehicles.
Despite the overlap, Cofoni is not convinced centralization into one organization is the best approach.
“[It is] impossible for any central agency to contemplate every possible permutation of what’s needed,” he said. “If we tried to centralize every need for cyber, we would fail utterly. That’s trying to centralize around millions and millions of problems. We’d never solve them all.”
