Booz Allen Hamilton’s subject matter experts are involved in a range of work that aims to help our client’s solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. From bridging the gender gap in STEM professions, to improving the cyber safety of cars on the road today and in the future, to bringing healthcare IT into the 21st century—there  is no shortage of big ideas—and interesting topics of discussion—at Booz Allen. With the launch of Booz Allen’s Big Ideas podcasts, we invite you to listen in on the conversation as firm leaders discuss big ideas.

Alexandra Heckler (pictured, above), a leader in Booz Allen’s high-tech manufacturing and retail services practice recently talked with Booz Allen’s Big Ideas on the topic of vehicle cybersecurity. As drivers are enjoying more connected cars, automakers are pushing ahead with cybersecurity measures.

“In the next couple years, we will see an exponential increase in connectivity,” said Alexandra Heckler, “and ultimately, anything that is connected can be hacked.”

Hear Alexandra discuss why it is vital for automakers and their partners, including suppliers, telecoms, and software companies to continue investing in new security measures in the Vehicle Cybersecurity podcast.

Booz Allen’s Big Ideas podcast series premiered at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the nation's premier, public gathering place for leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to present and discuss the ideas and issues that both shape our lives and challenge our times.  (See more on the Aspen Ideas Festival here.)
