Treffer: A Conversation with the U.S. Army Chief Information Officer.

Appointed Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the U.S. Army in July 2023, Mr. Leo Garciga sets the strategic direction for and oversees the execution of policies and programs for information resource management (IRM) and information technology (IT). His responsibilities include managing the Army's IT architecture, information sharing and cybersecurity policy, IT life cycle and resource management processes, and synchronizing the information enterprise. He is focused on accelerating digital transformation, redefining authority to operate (ATO) processes, and aligning the right problems with the right talent and technologies. In this conversation, Deborah S. Karagosian engages with Mr. Garciga on how IT and cyber policy serve as strategic levers that touch every part of the Army. He reflects on the need to optimize lethality, innovation, enterprise coherence, cost efficiency, and industry collaboration--while carefully managing operational and strategic risk. The discussion offers insight into how the Army is reimagining its cyber strategy to remain agile, secure, and mission-ready in a rapidly evolving digital environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
