Intelligence Community CIO John Sherman debuted NSA's Hybrid Compute Initiative (HCI) as an "evolution" of the agency's current GovCloud environment.

The pending acquisition could be worth "tens of billions" of dollars.

A notorious backlog would get some tech solutions, and the intelligence community would have more flexibility with its workforce under the House-passed intelligence authorization bill.

John Sherman said it was not appropriate to use the intelligence community's shift to a multi-cloud model as a "yardstick" for DOD's JEDI.
