Knowing the Unknown, With Andrey Zhuk

When you have billions of data dependencies, and one goes amiss, how do you figure out where the issue is? Listen as Mark and Carolyn are joined by Andrey Zhuk of CTG Federal to discover how artificial intelligence is opening new doors for data security and recovery.

Today, we're going to talk about one of his latest eBooks, Software Intelligence for the Federal Government: The Road to AIOps. It focuses on cloud development migration in the federal government.Carolyn: Let's start with the easy stuff. Tell us your story. What do you do? Where are you talking to us from? How did you get to where you are now?Andrey: Sure. My background is actually electrical engineering. I used to design satellite systems and the networks that go along with them for the Department of Defense. From that, I went to the side of sales. I was actually selling a lot of Palo Alto products and some optimization solutions. From there, I transitioned to the world of cloud. That's kind of where I got into the whole application performance management space. I was at a startup called Skyhigh Networks. They were one of the early cloud X security brokers. We were dealing with cloud apps and security cloud apps for government customers.That's where I had the experience of dealing with the federal government workers, trying to modernize their applications. Then Skyhigh Networks got bought by McAfee. I was a solutions architect for cloud technologies with McAfee for a year or so. Then I moved on to CTG Federal to take on a principal architect position to help build their cybersecurity business with a little bit of the APM sprinkled in. We had a Dynatrace partner.Knowing the Unknown About Satellite StuffCarolyn: Yes, we wish we could say that right upfront that we are partners. But before we get into it, I got to go back to the satellite stuff. How does that compare to what you're doing now, how long did you do that?Andrey: Wow, probably six years, but ultimately everybody needs Facebook and satellite platforms get outdated like once every 10 years. So it's all about software.Carolyn: Oh, so this is a lot faster for you then like, quicker pace.Andrey: Yes.Mark: The world that you're playing in now, Andrey, is it more high-level conceptual as opposed to the engineering work that you might have done, working on satellites?Andrey: So it's interesting.
